They complained over trivial BS? If it only cost 250 to repair.....Some banks have a home inspector look for code violations and such. Those must be fixed before they will loan any money. Details Brad...pics of the problem/repair
Quit your laughing buddy.... I still got my panties in a wad!!!!
1. Inspector said pellet stove was TOTALLY set up wrong. Said vent pipe should be 3 ft. above roof line. He stated "That's why the vinyl siding
below the pipe has melted. WRONG!!! I had triple insulated pipe run through wall with 1/2" foam board over the 1/2 plywood then vinyl siding. The exhaust pipe came straight out from wall 18" then vented downward. Some vinyl siding melted because my dad started up the stove and didn't rake the leaves away from the downspout. They got on fire and I caught it quickly but some vinyl had melted below the pipe. I said the exhaust pipe is installed correctly and I had no problems for the next 16 years with the stove. The foam around the exterior pipe was in perfect condition. (IDIOT) The buyer wanted the stove.... Its now pulled out, in my new shop and the vinyl siding has been replaced.... DONE!
2. Said the Master bedroom toilet "rocked".... Hell I looked at it... tried to rock it... and looked for signs of a leaking wax ring. I couldn't move it at all. (IDIOT)
3. Said the "wrong" hardware was installed incorrectly to control the toilet water when flushed.... Works perfectly.... (IDIOT)
4. Said the ceiling fan in the living doesn't turn on... "Have a professional electrician look into the problem". All he had to do was turn on the wall switch first. (IDIOT) Works perfectly.
5. Said the left sink in the Master Bath drips water... "Have a professional plumber look into the problem". All he had to do was turn off the knob completely off. Works perfectly. (IDIOT)
Now I did spend money and worked on some minor items like.... Installing rubber boots over the vent pipes on new metal roof my mother had installed. Replacing 2 dozen deck boards on the floor, railing and steps. Installing a vent pipe below the home from the hot water heater and installing a couple of wall outlet boxes. And I had to "fix" the faucet that water ran from when moving the handle from left to right. I tried to tighten the seal.... clean the seal.... retighten the seal... and finally spent the money and just replaced the entire unit. I couldn't just get the seals....!
Said I needed a termite inspection.... no problem. They came and did there inspection. Said no termite's found or any damage from them. But they did find evidence of them from a long time ago under the house (2 tunnels). My dad had a company under contract for 15 years to control this problem. So now I got to pay for them to come out and fill / treat these 2 old tunnels... (IDIOTS)
Last but not least.... The inspector said the shrubs need to be trimmed away from the home by a landscaper....... (IDIOT).
The only "Professional" that did all that work was ME for a handful of dollars.... Not the 6-7 thousand there inspector said it would all cost!!!!!! Now I'm all geeked up again and don't even want to sell it to them.... I can't wait to see what's coming next after they move in. My 5 dogs still think that's just part of our home.
NOT ONE CODE VIOLATION FOUND!!!!!! Bank appraiser is coming out next week.... can't wait!!!!!
