Home Inspection Funorama!

These are just a few insanities home inspectors see as part of their job. Some folks are quite ingenious with their diy…
Above is a bathroom outlet. Let me see…hair dryer, flat iron, electric toothbrush, waterpik, clock radio…running out of possibilities…at least this person has smooth feet with the pumice stone…

This is how it works…turn the valve on and watch the water drop down a few feet into your poo poo. Due to the height from which the water falls, you MUST be careful of backsplashes! You know how sometimes your butt gets the backsplash if you happen to plop down a hard one. Don’t say you don’t, because you would be lying and no one would believe you anyway! Well, this would be somewhat like that times a conservative ten. Meantime, no need to fix up the walls, nor clean the toilet….although the toilet cover looks almost acceptable. Maybe you can wash your hands in the stream of water heading down toward the bowl? Two birds, one stone. Genius DIY!

Even my year old niece knows better than this…

Potato as gas line cap. Looks like a dehydrated Mr. Potato Head is free floating, turned his back to us and grew feathery ears.

I’m assuming that wherever this roof is, there is never ever ever ever ever any rain, snow nor sleet. Lucky homeowner!

These are honeybees. I guess I would prefer to have honeybees in my chimney (if I had one) than killer wasps or africanized honeybees. Those would be really bad. Wasps don’t make honey and the africanized honeybees would annihilate you and your family before you ever get close to their honey.

Furry, grey with appendages in a vent. I wouldn’t want to unscrew that neither.

Homemade urinal in the garage. I like this one the best. Uncomplicated and satisfies a natural need. Not dangerous to others and won’t cause fires. It’s a winner!
