Home inspectors on Irate

That's fucking crazy:laughing:
I'd love to see a couple more pics, and the listing price for grins


I can see how it happens. A bachelor buys some shit ass land on the edge of town cheap, puts his motorhome on it. Things progress in an odd way, maybe he builds a "nicer than it should be" roof over the whole thing and porches off the sides. He comes into 5-15k at odd times, bonuses, inheritance, etc and builds porches, additions etc. The land goes up in value as the town moves his way, and all housing creeps up nationally. At some point somebody comes along and says, if we dump 50k into this thing we can side step a bunch of red tape, permits, increased property taxes, and have a "house" worth 250k500k675k


I've seen a handful of "houses " here that are a not so valuable mobile home with a 900sf well built addition, concrete slab, sometimes masonry construction. I imagine at some point the values would get high enough the trailer half would get demoed and a site built other half built and call it a custom home:laughing:

800 square feet way back in the sticks. I’m not sure how much land it’s on. Apparently the seller built the place himself and it’s never been sold so there’s no info on Zillow.

I'm guessing that is really why it was built that way. Guy drove the thing to his off grid location and either couldnt get it out or it died there but had certain things needed to build around. Decided well fuck it i was gonna build here anyway and voila this abomination was born

Good for him:beer:


What's the purpose of the inspection? Getting sold? Refinance?


Sometimes things are just different.

"Your honor, I'm not a man of means, I live in a 71 winnebago in the hills"
:laughing:

Yeah, it’s being sold. The most wheeling I’ve done in a while was the 45 minutes on washed out roads getting back there from the highway. About half way in I was convinced my navigation was screwing with me. :lmao:

Hopefully both. Deed to the land and a title for the house. And just think about driving that rv up there to begin with.

Just re watched the video. Someone grounded the bumper :lmao:

I once met a guy in a parking lot to give him a deposit for a $600 crew cab k30 with a d60 and a blown 6.2 diesel he'd listed on CL. It was in the hills south of town, "you should probably bring a 4wd" and we'd go up and get it on Saturday.

I was 50/50 on taking my highboy on 35s, but no front drive shaft and my hitch was janky. My buddy came through with his 1st gen cummins on 35s.

we met the guy in his jeep at the pavement and followed him, and followed him, up the mountain, past the cell phone tower, and going and going and going

We used every last bit of that torque, traction, ground clearance and homies skills getting back there, pulling a 83" between the fenders 18' dovetail trailer

At one point I'm looking down at like a 400' sheer drop, with half the trailer tires hanging off.

"Hey, if you owed me any favors, I'm pretty sure we're gonna be even" :laughing:

"Shut the fuck up shut the fuck up!" :laughing:

It was the last stop on the road. There were a dozen busted cars, an old 32' travel trailer hr had lived in at one point, a lean to shed with a totally visible shotgun that had been leaning against the wall for years.

"Holy shit man, that road sucks!"

"Yeah, I made it with black powder and a backhoe"

"How'd you get that big ass trailer up here"

"With that k30, took me 2 days, I was crawling the wall around the turns"

"Damn. How'd you get the k30 up here with the blown engine"

"I didn't, it blew up up here"

Fuck:homer:



Headed back down the mountain, looking down the cliff again, but on his side of the truck now

"Hey, so this road held up to the k30. And it held up to your truck and trailer, but do you think it's good for the 20k of all of it"

"Shut the fuck up!!" :laughing:
 
well I thought there was a story of someone defending their stuff, but then I saw the one through the roof :laughing:
 
Before and after pictures. I inspected this old house a month ago and found undisclosed fire damage, knob and tube wiring and piles of bat shit. The clients bailed on the place. I went back to reinspect for some new buyers. The homeowner had gone up and tried to cover everything up with spay foam that apparently doesn’t expand. :lmao:

WTF. You'd think a coat of spray paint would stick better. :lmao::lmao::lmao:
 
So, when you go back to the same house for a different client, do you go in there like you were never there before?

I guess that would make sense if you wanna get paid :homer:

New day, new inspection…although I did warn the second client about the fire damage ahead of time. You never know what’s changed in a home between inspections.
