Default How Many Additions?
Inspection this morning, 1956 rancher on a slab, set for public auction on Friday. Potential buyers stopped the inspection. I wanted to finish, but probably saved a very long report. Check out the roof, attic photos next post.

Photos 2 & 3 illustrate a creative use of very large diverters for the gutters.


“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”

Update. The home did not sell at auction (no surprise), however the clients are again considering placing an offer and are asking me to return to the property to complete the inspection.
