Forum Overview :: =( :: Re: so icj, can you think of any really good questions for the inspector?

[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] - Can you go with the inspector? You want to make sure he's not working for the opposition. I'd try tripping him up like this: - "Man, (selling party) sure is a bit of a slavedriver, no? Haha.... ha!" People can't wait to talk shit about their employers, so he won't be able to resist. The overall objective is for the inspector to find so much shit wrong with the house that the price comes down. - Can you send me a PDF when you're done? - How's the roof? When was it last replaced? - What year was the water heater created in? - Does the garage have a proper seal to the floor? - How long did it take hot water to appear when the various taps were turned on? (Actually, if you have a walkthrough, you can do this. I turned the taps on for the places I looked at and checked them in 10 minutes, like some sort of softskin prick.) - The electrical outlets all have ground pins, right? - Will it need new carpeting? I'm just trying to think what the biggest pains in the ass were, in addition to what I absolutely didn't want to have to replace. The roof is the big one, I guess. I'm at work, so this got only like 10% of my cycles. Now that you're going to be a property owner and a qualified success, there's certain Caltrops posters that will appear invisible to you. That's not a bug, it's a feature: there's no reason from an evolution standpoint to see their posts. Let me know how it goes. Do not hesitate to tweet if you have immediate concerns. ICJ[/quote]
