Description
Learn how to prepare your home for sale from City of Bloomington Building Inspector Jon Aaron. Aaron speaks about common errors and updates that are required before your home can be sold. He also outlines safety issues such as smoke and Co2 alarms, electrical wiring, plumbing and structural issues.

A

A
B
A
B
That
we
can
get
going
on
some
of
these,
for
you,
these
are
mostly
nanos.
Here,
will
tell
you
about
the
most
common
questions
that
people
ask
or
I'ma
say
this
is
about
wells.
The
state
requirement
for
Wells
you've
got
a
well
in
your
house.
The
requirement
for
sealing
it
or
keeping
in
service
this
year.
B
A
B
In
this
fashion,
but
similar
equipment
outside
this
is
an
information
on
the
requirement
for
carbon
dioxide.
We
don't
enforce
it
with
time
of
sale.
That
is
not
in
our
building
folder
under
our
karma
sale
at
all,
but
it
is
required
in
homes,
and
this
is
what
your
buyers
and
your
home
inspectors
are
always
been
quickly
to
do
so
with.
A
That
I
kind
of
say
you
know
it
doesn't
cost
a
lot
to
throw
in
carbon
monoxide
detector,
but
it
saves
a
lot
of
hassle
at
the
end.
So
there
it's
kind
of
fight
your
battles,
which
ones
do
you
win?
Which
ones
do
you
want
to
fight?
Which
ones
do
you
want
to
go
with
and
let
them
take
on
so
start
out
here
with
another
handout
that
we've
got.
This
is
about
smoke,
detectors
locations
where
they're
supposed
to
be.
We
got
the
mock-up
hero
of
a
two-story
where
you
got
the
basement
main
level
and
upstairs.
A
So
this
is
the
placement.
The
black
dots
show
the
placement
of
smoke
detectors
so
right
in
there
you
were
supposed
to
have
one
in
every
bedroom,
one
on
the
level
which
would
be
the
hall
downstairs.
You
don't
have
bedrooms,
so
you
got
one
on
that
level
basement
one
on
that
level.
If
there's
bedrooms
on
any
of
the
other
levels,
you
gotta
put
a
smoke
detector
in
bedrooms,
so
it
also
tells
you
about
where
the
best
locations
to
install
them
are,
and
the
handout
also
has
a
lot
more
information.
A
Besides,
what's
just
posted
on
this
right
front,
carbon
monoxide
again,
I,
don't
enforce
it
on
time
of
sale,
but
buyers,
inspectors
and
potential
buyers.
Do
they
look
for
it?
They
want
it
in
so
you're
proactive.
If
you
don't
want
to
deal
with
that,
I
would
just
put
them
in
it's
always
up
to
you,
though,.
A
Oxide,
the
state
requirement
is
you
got
to
have
one
within
10
feet
of
any
bedroom.
You
can
put
them
in
each
bedroom
if
you
want
to,
but
you're
supposed
to
have
one
within
10
feet
of
the
bedrooms.
They
also
want
one
down
in
the
basement
near
your
furnace
area,
but
that's
not
really
a
requirement
at
this
point.
It
was
the
one
within
the
10
feet
of
the
bedroom.
D
A
C
A
A
Smoke
detector
placements
again,
that
sheet
will
show
you
and
it's
got
a
lot
of
information
on
it.
This
is
just
one
you
can't
put
them
within
36
inches
of
a
ceiling
fan.
You
know
it's.
Basically,
the
fan
has
to
when
its
operating
it's
going
to
blow
the
smoke
away
from
it,
so
you
always
want
to
put
them
in
locations
where
the
smoke
is
going
to
get
to
it
right
away.
A
So
you
can
get
out
of
the
house
right
away
your
placements,
so
we
got
it
broken
down
into
carbon
monoxide,
smoke,
detector
and
the
first
whoops
I'm.
Sorry,
the
fire
extinguisher.
Well,
it's
always
a
good
thing
to
have
on
your
in
on
hand
and
your
home,
but
we
don't
require
those.
This
was
just
a
good,
a
good
hand
out
to
throw
up
on
the
slide
show
here.
A
They
they
don't
go
after
that
yeah,
it's
just
good
to
have
I
mean,
if
you
you
know,
maybe
it
got
a
little
grease
fire
going
on
your
on
your
stove
there
from
something
that's
splattered.
You
can
grab
that
and
put
it
out
yourself
without
having
to
live
for
the
department
to
come
out,
and
maybe
it
gets
even
more
involved
at
that
time.
So
it's
always
good
to
have
one
but
grounding.
This
goes
to
the
electrical
panel.
A
This
your
chart
here
this
year
tells
you
the
size
of
your
panel
box,
the
size
water
that
goes
to
it
in
copper
and
aluminum
one
of
the
tool
you
can
use
either
or
but
this
is
your
grown
for
your
panel
box.
So
this
here
jumper
is
a
bypass
around
this
meter.
This
is
your
interruption
point
or
you
don't
get
positive
grounding
back
from
your
electrical
panel.
A
So
when
you
have
power
surges
or
something
like
a
lightning
strike
or
whatever
it
may
be,
the
power
or
the
grounding
goes
back
to
the
other
side
of
this
year,
pipe
which
goes
into
the
ground.
This
is
your
street
for
your
house
side.
This
is
your
street
side.
This
goes
into
the
ground
that
creates
the
ground
back
into
the
into
the
soil,
so
it
takes
the
ground
and
puts
it
back
towards
where
it's
supposed
to
go.
It's
an
important
part
with
electrical
open
junction
box
is
always
a
danger.
A
These
nuts
always
seem
to
come
loose
on
those
you
get
bare
wires,
Rodin's
tend
to
chew
on
them.
If
you
got
any
rodents
or
you
get
any
kind
of
critters
in
your
home,
sometimes
you
know,
and
that
causes
electrical
fires,
there's
plenty
of
that.
That's
out
there
believing
it's
happened
wires
here.
These
all
have
to
go
inside
one
of
those
junction
boxes
from
the
previous
screen.
They
got
to
be
installed
inside
one
of
these
boxes
with
a
cover.
This
was
a
makeshift
one.
A
I
know
it's
a
blurry,
but
someone
put
in
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
remember
those
strip
outlets,
you
can
put
probably
about
three
or
four
outlets
right
inside
this
strip.
Here
you
are
plugins
right
inside
this
strip.
Well,
someone
tried
wearing
some
other
thing
on
the
outside
here
and
then
they
put
another
ground
coming
down
here,
to
add
a
a
little
plug
to
it.
It's
just
fire
hazard
waiting
to
happen,
open
wiring,
it's
not
not
terminating
in
a
box
again,
we
can
have
this,
but
this
has
to
go
into
a
box.
A
A
Broken
outlets
they'll
always
get
fixed
again.
These
are
these
are
items
that
we
see
on
houses
all
the
time.
People
don't
think
twice
about
it.
You
probably
overlooked
them
on
your
own
home
many
times.
You
know
it's.
It's
there's
nothing
wrong
with
it
you're
aware
of
it,
but
you
know
you're
cognizant
of
it,
but
is
another
person
that
comes
into
your
home,
cognizant
of
it.
So.
A
A
A
Open
panel
boxes
again,
we
don't
want
anyone
sticking
their
hands
in
there.
This
will
just
I'll.
Take
you
out,
you
know,
you
put
your
hand
in
there
and
touch
the
wrong
thing.
You
may
not
be
here
tomorrow,
so
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
come
with
electrical
that
are
dangerous,
that
people
don't
think
twice
about,
and
they
just
do.
A
This
year
is
a
slide
about.
We
got
here
double
logging
right
here.
Double
logging
means
putting
two
wires
on
one
screw.
That's
a
good
indication
that
someone
that's
not
familiar
with
electrical
has
done
their
own.
You
don't
get
a
positive
connection
to
the
wire
there.
It
always
comes
loose.
You
get
sparking
and
arcing
within
the
panel
box
causes
fires.
A
Again
we
always
address
open
panel
boxes.
We
don't
want
those
open,
so
some
of
this
stuff
will
give
us
a
clue
as
to
what's
been
done
in
the
house.
We
look
at
it
and
if
we
see
enough
of
enough
wrong
we'll
ask
that
we
get
a
lect
rishon
in
there
to
go
through
this
and
give
us
his
estimation.
Is
there
a
problem
with
this?
Can
it
be
fixed
and
it
usually
does
get
fixed.
A
E
A
Fuses
are
no-nonsense
thing
when
they
go,
they
go.
You
don't
get
any
power
afterwards,
they
blow
their
just
done
breakers.
You
can
have
breakers
that
are
defective.
They'll
keep
tripping,
maybe
they'll
short
out.
You
keep
sitting
resetting
them.
Yeah
you
can
have
them,
but
for
the
most
part
breakers
are
are
very
safe.
Today
you
know
they've
they've
fixed
the
problems
that
go
with
breakers,
but
they're
still
there's
just
like
anything
else.
It's
man-made!
It's
there's
always
going
to
be
some
failure
with
some
type
of
product,
so
I
mean
fuses,
are
great.
A
A
Answer
to
that
is
yes,
there
is
people,
but
you
know
you
don't
have
to
do
that.
As
long
as
your
system
is
intact,
works
properly,
you
don't
have
any
issues
with
it
like
what
I'm
pointing
out
up
here.
It's
fine,
you
know,
but
there's
always
going
to
be
people
out
there
that
are
going
to
say.
Oh
that's
old,
we
want.
We
want
a
new
box
in
here.
We
want
breakers.
We
want
to
be
able
to
flip
that
switch
and
put
it
back.
You're
always
going
to
have
that.
That's
your
choice.
G
It
be
possible,
my
house
isn't:
grounded
properly
I
sit
kind
of
high
in
a
heel
and
I've
been
here
with
lightning
many
times
and
what
I've
been
hit.
For
instance,
the
toaster
started
on
fire,
I
was
in
the
kitchen,
I
thought
pop,
and
then
it
started
on
firing.
Their
computers
get
blown
out.
The
TV
gets
blown
out
that
a
problem
with
how
it's
grounded
or
just
it.
A
Could
be
without
looking
at
it
at
this
point,
I
can't
really
say
for
sure,
but
yeah
I
could
be
I
mean
nowadays
they
do
require
that
all
electronics
and
stuff
be
put
on
surge
protection
to
protect
electronics.
Okay,
so
you
get
those
little
strips
and
you
put
them
on
those,
but
with
lightning.
That's
really,
a
tough
call,
lightning
is
lightning.
It
will
do
what
it
has
to
do.
What
mother
nature
intended
it
to
do
so.
A
A
A
These
other
breakers
down
here
were
to
another
design
box,
the
didn't
fit
this
panel
box,
so
there
was
multiple
things
wrong
here:
I
had
our
electrician
from
the
city
here
come
out
and
take
a
look
at
this
just
to
give
his
feedback
on
it,
and
he
was
scared
to
even
open
this
box
because
it
can
blow
up
on
you
at
that.
You
get
arc
arc
flash
and
with
that,
it's
that's
pretty
dangerous
all
in
itself.
A
So
three
things
right
off
the
bat:
the
bad
breaker
for
200
amp
box,
three
different
size,
three
different
types
of
breakers
that
go
to
a
different
type
of
box
and
that
previous
slide,
the
60
amp.
This
was
what
we
called
out
for
a
certification
on
this.
We
had
an
electrician
come
in
and
he
went
through
it.
A
Basically,
they
ended
up
tearing
it
all
out
putting
in
a
200
amp
system.
Now,
on
this,
this
house
serviced
a
hot
tub:
stove
AC,
electric
water,
heater,
electric
dryer
and
I
had
general
use
power
for
lighting
and
outlets.
Now
all
that
is
fine,
except
that
would
work
on
a
hundred
amp
system,
not
on
a
60
amp
system.
On
a
60
amp
system.
You
can
only
put
one
major
electrical
item,
such
as
maybe
your
electric
water,
heater
or
electric
stove.
A
You
can't
put
all
of
this
on
a
60
amp
system,
so
this
house
was
just
waiting
for
problems
to
happen
and
luck,
luck
of
the
draw.
Maybe
these
guys
were
cognizant.
They
didn't
start
up
the
equipment
all
at
the
same
time.
They
didn't
use
certain
things
at
the
same
time.
They
were.
They
knew
not
to
do
that.
It
lasted
for
a
few
years
before
someone
caught
it
and
got
it
corrected.
F
A
We
don't
garages
are
probably
our
biggest
thing.
We
always
see
electrical
cord
running
across
the
rafters,
going
to
the
outlet
on
the
wall
and
plugged
in
there
we're
going
to
ask
for
an
order
to
be
put
in
there
you're
going
to
get
a
permit
you're
going
to
get
electrician
out
there.
Maybe
I'll
get
an
outlet
put
in
by
you
or
by
the
electrician.
Yes,.
A
Michelle
right,
so
each
appliance
comes
with
a
length
of
cord.
Usually
there
are
six
feet
so
some
of
these
older
openers
have
maybe
a
three
foot
cord
they'll
be
an
outlet
within
reach
of
it.
That's
that's
going
to
be
the
requirement
just
so
as
direct
plug
in
no
cords.
Santram
cards
really
are
rated
for
only
90
days
of
temporary
use
after
that
you're
supposed
to
throw
an
extension
cord
out
so.
A
A
H
A
E
E
E
A
Not
those
that
cause
the
problems,
it's
that
people
don't
understand
how
to
winterize
their
pipes
and
to
take
those
things
off
in
winter
and
put
them
back
on
in
summer
after
the
pipes
are
going
to
be
when
the
pipes
are
going
to
be
used.
So
it's
really
that
just
people
just
don't
pay
attention
to
how
you're
supposed
to
maintain
all
this
stuff.
A
A
In
winter
time,
you're
supposed
to
take
them
off
you're
supposed
to
purge
the
line,
let
all
the
water
out,
then
you
can
screw
the
breaker
back
on
leave
it.
You
don't
have
any
water
in
the
line,
you're
not
going
to
have
any
pipe
freezing
or
anything
else.
So
yeah,
that's
that's
the
way
you
do
it.
Yes,.
A
They're
this
one
okay.
So
this
is
a
an
exterior,
see
this
you're,
not
yeah,
that's
just
a
set
nuts!
It
keeps
it
so
that
when
you
hook
your
hose
on
it,
when
you
tighten
that
nut
onto
your
spigot,
so
it
doesn't
keep
spinning.
When
you
tighten
your
hose
on
it,
you're
supposed
to
be
able
to
undo
that
take
it
off
turn
your
line,
then
you
can
put
it
back
on
tighten
the
nut
and
you're
done
summertime
or
springtime
turn
your
water
back
on
watch
the
air
out
of
the
line,
you're
done.
E
A
Yeah,
you
can
break
them
off.
You
can
do
that.
You
can
put
them
on
for
inside
your
homes
too.
Yes,
they
are,
but
on
exterior
the
manufacturer.
If
you
go
into
their
requirements,
manufacturer
doesn't
want
you
to
break
it
off
on
the
exterior.
They
don't
want
that
they
want
you
to
be
able
to
take
it
off
empty.
Your
line,
put
it
back
on
wait
for
spring
turn.
It
back
on
you're
done.
H
A
B
A
H
E
A
E
A
Well,
hopefully,
it
didn't
fall
through
just
because
of
that,
but
moving
on
this
is
up
some
other
plumbing
issues
that
we
always
come
into
this
year.
The
improper
installation
I
got
heroes.
It
was
invented,
it's
s
trapped.
It's
got
a
couple
of
things
that
were
wrong
with
it.
They
glued
abs
and
PVC
together,
two
different
plastic
materials,
but
they
cannot
be
glued
together.
They
react
differently
to
heat,
there's
a
pleated
piping
right
here
you
can't
use
pleated
piping
and
then,
of
course,
the
improper
slope.
It's
just
the
slope
is
all
wrong.
A
I,
don't
know
how
this
trap
is
going
to
empty
out
back
this
way
when
it's
all
pitched
forward.
So
it's
it
it'll
still
work.
You
know
it
will
go
by
gravity
and
pressure
of
the
water
that
comes
in
there.
It'll
just
force
it
on
out,
but
you
cannot
s
trap.
Here's
one
trap.
Here's
another
trap:
this
is
called
an
S
trap.
This
is
where
they
glued
ABS
to
PVC.
A
So
again,
it's
just
improper
another
unvented
and
s
trap
fixture.
Here
they
took
two
traps.
You
got
there
p
trap
right
there.
They
took
another
p-trap
ran
it
down.
That
way,
when
you
see
the
pipe
coming
down
like
this
I
already
know
it's
not
vented.
This
was
in
a
basement.
So
no,
no,
no
I,
don't
think
this
is
a
basement.
A
This
was
upstairs,
I
believe,
but
there
was
no
vent
on
it,
so
venting
allows
its
drain
properly
without
getting
that
glug
glug
going
when
you
fill
up
your
sink
and
it's
trying
to
get
air
to
drain
it
out.
That's
what
a
trap
does
our
vent?
I'd.
Sorry,
this
one
was
really
good.
This
is
a
vacuum
hose
that
someone
hooked
on
to
the
clean
to
their
sink
and
stuck
it
right
through
the
wall
into
the
pipe.
A
A
This
one
doesn't
have
a
trap,
so
you're,
actually
allowing
sewer
gas
to
come
in
when
you
have
a
trap,
go
back
a
couple
slides
here
this,
your
p-trap,
there's
water-
that
stays
in
this
trap
here
right
about
at
this
area
here
that
keeps
sewer
gas
down
within
the
pipes.
So
it
doesn't
come
up
through
into
the
house,
so
this
one
doesn't
have
P
trap
on
it
at
all.
So
there
is
easy
fix.
All
they
have
to
do
is
install
a
p-trap
and
reroutes
and
plating
piping.
A
A
This
is
our
backflow
prevention
handout
for
toilets.
This
here
is
the
backflow
preventer
on
a
toilet
right
there.
This
is
your
float.
This
is
your
flapper
valve
your
flush
valve,
basically
we're
looking
for
an
air
gap
between
this
year,
backflow
preventer,
and
this
year
too,
we're
looking
for
a
clear
gap
of
about
an
inch.
A
You
don't
have
to
always
have
an
inch,
but
that's
just
the
number
that
the
code
put
out.
It's
a
nice
clean
number,
it's
easy
to
remember
easy
to
do,
but
this
allows
this
toilet
to
flush,
and
basically
you
don't
get
any
of
this
water
potentially
siphoning
back
through
your
clean
water
system.
I
have
seen
that
happen.
We
did
have
a
foreclosure
house
here
within
the
city
that
they
had
issues
where
you
got.
They
got
back
flow
prevention
because
of
a
break
in
the
pipes,
the
dist
difference
between
the
pressure
and
well.
A
There
was
no
pressure
at
the
time.
I
should
say
it
didn't
have
water
pressure,
so
it
allowed
this
year.
This
year
valve
was
down
below
this
valve
here,
so
it
was
sucking
in
water
within
this
tank.
The
only
reason
I
could
tell
is
because
they
had
the
blue
teddy
bowl
in
there
when
I
turned
the
shower
on
blue
water.
Chemo,
so
I
mean
it's,
it
happens.
People
aren't
cognizant
of
it.
A
B
A
This
was
a
this
was
a
different
one.
Sink
discharge,
also
picking
up
a
shower
shower
through
piping,
to
a
floor
drain.
Okay,
this
this
was
a
distinct
came
out
here,
jump
down
into
here.
This
was
another
discharge,
I
believe
from
the
from
the
condensate
of
the
furnace,
and
it
all
ran
to
the
floor
drain
right
over
there.
So
as
a
boat
floor,
we
don't
do
that.
That's
that's
unsanitary
conditions,
gray,
water
is
gray
water.
It's
got
to
go
through
piping.
It's
got
to
be
tied
into
all
the
piping.
A
You
can't
just
jump
it
out
onto
the
floor
and
let
it
migrated
down
to
the
floor
drain.
So
that's
where
the
pipe
comes
out
of
the
wall
right
there
and
dumps
to
the
floor
drain
this
here
this
year
was
the
shower
I
believe
that
it
first
picked
up.
So
this
is
the
floor
drain,
that
is
the
clean-out
hole
right
there
to
clean
your
roots
out
and
all
debris
out
of
the
trap
in
the
floor
drain
bypass
a
trap
and
clean
the
lines,
I
should
say
you
do
have
to
have
a
plug
with
in
that
drain.
A
Water
heaters-
this
is
also
another
danger
water
heaters.
Without
temperature
pressure
relief
valves
become
rockets
when
they
do
when
a
a
malfunction,
they
can
go
right
through
the
roof
of
your
house
and
take
the
house
right
off
the
foundation.
So
this
is
a
temp
looks
temperature
pressure
relief
valve
right
here,
but
it's
installed
in
the
wrong
location.
This
is
an
old
water
heater
that
wasn't
designed
for
temperature
pressure
relief
valves
back
in
the
day.
A
Now
today's
code
requires
them
to
be
within
six
inches
of
the
top
of
the
water
heater,
so
they
could
either
be
on
top
here
or
at
the
side
that
takes
and
allows
the
pressure.
That's
in
the
water
heater
to
spill
out
to
this
here
and
drain
right
out,
so
your
water
here
doesn't
become
that
rocket
again.
This
one
would
end
up
being
removed
and
replaced
because
this
valve
here
is
not
within
six
inches
of
this
tank,
all
the
water.
That's
in
this
tank,
when
it's
hot,
it's
cooling
off
anything
out
here.
F
A
This
was
a
sand
point.
Well
that
went
into
the
garage
again.
This
the
state
has
requirement
for
all
wells.
If
they're
not
in
use
they're,
not
functional,
they
have
to
be
sealed.
This
has
two
things
on
it.
Even
wells
get
backflow
prevention,
here's
the
where
they
can
hook
the
hose
on
to
it
and
then
the
well
itself
has
to
be
functional.
A
Now
we
don't
go
after
you
and
make
you
pull
out
wills
because
they're
not
functional
for
time
of
sale,
I'm
going
to
take
and
I'm
going
to
push
it
back
to
our
environmental
Department,
they
oversee
wells.
So
if
the
well
is
functional,
it
can
stay,
it
can
be
used
for
irrigation.
It
can't
be
used
for
household
plumbing
if,
if
it's
not
functional,
they'll,
probably
send
out
some
sort
of
statement
for
you
a
letter
stating
that
you
know
you
have
to
get
rid
of
this
well
and
have
it
sealed
by
a
licensed
well
debating
company.
A
A
A
These
are
appliance
connectors
that
go
to
all
your
equipment,
which
you
have
in
your
house,
your
stove,
your
washer
or
not,
washer
your
dryer,
maybe
even
sometimes
a
water
heater.
But
these
are
aftermarket
adapters
that
you
can
buy
for
installation
of
those
appliances.
They
all
have
to
be
stainless
steel.
Nowadays
they
used
to
have
some
out
there
that
were
put
out
by
brass
crafts.
They
were
brass
to
softer
material,
so
when
you
moved
it
in
and
out,
these
hoses
are
designed
for
movement.
A
So
you
could
move
your
appliance
and
clean
behind
there
and
move
it
back.
They're
too
soft.
They
broke
we're
getting
rid
of
those
things,
all
the
houses
for
putting
in
the
ones
that
are
approved.
For
today
you
can't
use
the
old
style
once
you
have
to
use
newer
ones,
they
don't
even
sell
the
old
ones
anymore.
Yes,
is.
A
A
A
A
A
A
B
A
This
is
one
of
the
old
ones.
This
is
this.
Connector
here
is
the
brass
craft.
It's
the
old
one.
There
is
a
little
ring
that
goes
around
this
ring.
That's
their
teacher!
Finding
these
out
there
did
the
old
style
this
one
will
get
taken
out
open
gas
line.
We
always
make
sure
our
gas
is
always
capped
off
when
not
in
use,
not
just
a
shutoff
valve.
But
there's
going
to
be
cap
on
there
in
case
that
shut
off
valve
has
a
little
bit
of
a
leak
going
to
it
getting
into
a
venting.
A
This
was
a
plumbing
vent
mechanical
event
going
to
the
plumbing
system,
tied
in
with
a
call
it
a
slinky,
it's
kind
of
a
pleated
line,
and
then
they
tied
in
some
other
pleated
going
to
your
bath
fans.
They
tied
them
all
together
and
put
it
out
11
piece
through
the
roof.
You
can't
do
that
when
we
see
something
like
this
you're
going
to
fix
it
and
put
it
in
properly.
A
This
is
a
an
awesome,
awesome
picture
of
a
furnace
that
was
installed
in
the
garage
they
stacked
it
on
a
couple
of
cinder
blocks
here,
and
you
know,
of
course
you
got
the
gas
piping
coming
down
this
thing
you
could
wiggle
it
it
wasn't.
Attached
to
the
wall
wasn't
fastened
in
any
way.
I
was
just
sitting
on
top
of
there,
so
I
forgot
wiggled.
It
fell
down.
So
again,
it's
improper
installation
and
not
right
we're
going
to
get
it
fixed.
A
Moving
the
structural
issues.
This
was
a
deck
supported
on
a
masonry
wall
or
I
should
say
a
retaining
wall
that
was
made
out
of
masonry
block.
You
can
see
the
crack
down
here.
They
put
a
couple
of
standoffs
on
this
thing
and
they
put
their
post
on
it
all
holding
on
a
wall
that
was
already
failing.
So
if
the
wall
feels
the
deck
is
going
to
fail,
so
we
get
stuff
like
that
fixed.
A
This
is
your
basement
wall
structural
damage
when
I
see
a
crack
like
this
coming
down,
I
can
see
the
outside
right
through
this
wall.
This
means
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
pressure
on
the
wall.
We're
going
to
make
sure
this
wall
gets
repaired
again,
because
this
was
a
structural
wall
to
the
house,
so
this
wall
is
going
to
get
repaired.
We
braced
you'll
be
fine
with
it.
A
We
got
here
some
pumps,
oh
yeah,
another
another
issue.
That's
always
been
run.
A
lot
of
people
don't
like
to
run
their
stumps
to
the
outside,
they'll,
try
to
run
them
to
their
floor
drain
or
they
dump
them
into
their
laundry
tub
again.
This
is
something
I
do
not
follow
through
with
time
of
sale,
but
we
put
it
back
to
our
utilities
department,
because
that
goes
back
to
with
them
how
much
water
gets
recycled
through
our
pipes.
A
When
your
house
is
first
listed
when
you're
when
you
list
your
house
or
are
you're
thinking
of
listing
your
house
technically
by
our
city
code,
you're
supposed
to
have
a
time
of
sale
evaluation
prior
to
putting
that
house
up
for
sale,
so
your
Realtor
should
be
aware
of
that.
You
should
be
also
prompting
you
for
that.
D
A
F
A
B
E
A
That
is
code
compliant
that
is
called
compliant.
Yes,
you
don't
have
to
have
a
ceiling
fan
vent
system
in
your
bathroom
as
long
as
we've
got
an
open
above
window.
Now
in
Minnesota,
none
of
us
open
our
windows
in
winter
time
to
avenge
our
bathroom
to
get
the
moisture
out.
So
you
know
what's
compliant.
Here
is
the
bare
minimum.
So
you
know
if
you
want
to
put
a
ceiling
fan
and
that's
probably
a
good
idea.
C
A
They
don't
have
to
have
arc
fault
because
their
exterior
so
they're
going
to
have
grown
fault
but
I'm
time
of
sale.
We're
we're
talking
two
different
things
here.
Time
of
sale
is
we're
going
to
address
the
hazards
that
we
feel
are
important
to
address,
whether
it's
an
outlet
that
was
outside
doesn't
have
ground
fault
or
anything,
but
it
is
contained.
It
is
sealed.
It
is
covered,
we're
not
going
to
go
after
that,
we'll
just
mark
it
as
it's
below
minimum
requirements.
But
it's
okay.
H
F
H
A
A
That's
your
realtor
see
all
that
goes
back
to
closing
your
closing
company
is
obligated
by
their
requirements
to
follow
city
codes,
so
all
that
kind
of
intertwines
together
and
it
comes
back
to
the
realtor
and
the
closer
who
has
to
inform
you
on
what
needs
to
be
done.
So
if
you
can't
afford-
or
you
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
fix
items,
you
can
do
that
hazard
agreement,
the
buyer
can
agree
to
that.
They
can
take
on
those
responsibilities.
They
fill
out
that
form
prior
to
closing.
H
A
Probably
us
I,
you
know
that
ranges
from
different
companies.
It
really
does
there's
so
many
well
companies
out
there
right
now
that
you
know
me
it's
just
like
it's
commodity.
In
a
way.
You
know
they
want
this
job.
Maybe
someone
else
doesn't
want
it.
Their
price
is
going
to
be
a
little
higher
to
come,
maybe
they're
coming
from
Elk
River
or
something
and
they
got
drive
to
Bloomington.
Maybe
you
got
a
company
here,
that's
localized
they're
going
to
come
here.
Their
price
is
going
to
be
a
little
cheaper.
A
H
A
H
A
That
disclosure
sheet
does
say
that
you
just
have
to
disclose
the
well
with
the
time
of
sale
that
well
that's
the
state
requirement
of
disclosure
with
time
of
sale.
We
identify
that
there's
well
there,
whether
it's
working
or
it's
abandoned,
or
maybe
it
already
is
sealed.
So
we
already
we
put
that
down
and
we
bring
it
back
to
our
environmental
that
takes
care
of
that.
F
F
G
G
A
There
that's
an
old,
older
self
furnace,
there's
they're
still
in
place,
I
mean
you
can
still
have
atmospheric
vented
furnace,
it
furnaces,
but
there's
a
lot
of
power
vented
furnaces
and
stuff.
That
piping
is
all
running
outside
nothing
in
the
house.
So
if
you
see
your
white
piping
coming
from
your
furnace,
it's
probably
going
to
you're
outside
you're,
probably
good
with
that,
but
you're
spillage
chest
comes
from
like
a
water
heater,
it's
got
a
little
bell
on
that
yeah!
That's
where
that
is
on
that
the
furnace
may
have
the
same
thing
up.
A
C
A
A
No,
the
time
of
sale
is
where
you
can
either
use
from
our
list
of
independence
or
from
the
city.
You
can
have
one
of
us
come
out
and
do
the
inspection
there's
Corrections.
We
come
back
a
second
time
to
view
the
corrections.
Your
buyers
inspection
is
a
whole
nother
story.
We
don't
get
involved
in
that.
D
F
D
A
No
not
really
on
well
we're
talking
to
apples
to
oranges
when
it
comes
to
the
time
of
sale,
inspection
versus
the
private
home
inspection
when
they
come
in
and
do
that
for
the
buyer
apples
oranges
there
they
have
a
lot
more
time
to
do
the
inspection.
They
spend
a
lot
more
time,
testing
things
like
appliances
and
stuff,
whether
your
dishwasher
runs
whether
your
microwave
or
oven
is
working
properly.
We
don't
view
stuff
like
that.
We
don't
really
care
about
that.
A
We
know
that
when
you
are
going
to
sell
your
home
you're
going
to
sell
it
with
what
you
got
in
there
already
people
that
come
in
to
buy
the
home
they're
going
to
come
in
and
if
they
don't
like
the
color
of
your
carpet
or
the
color
of
your
appliances
or
they're
older
appliances,
they're
going
to
change
that
stuff
out.
We
know
that
so
I
mean
you're
going
to
have.
We
don't
get
into
cosmetics.
A
So
whether
the
house
is
you
know
the
carpets
worn
out
the
floors
are
really
tattered
or
bad
or
whatever
it's
really
paint
the
paint
needs
updating
or
wallpapers
peeling.
We
don't
care
about
that.
That'll
all
get
fixed,
we
don't
care
about
whether
the
appliances
may
be
malfunctioning,
or
maybe
one
burner,
isn't
working
on
the
stove
they'll
probably
take
that
stove
out,
recycle
it
and
put
in
a
new
stove
we're
worried
about
the
bones
of
the
house.
