I had some backyard work done a few years back that was done incorrectly, and eventually cost me thousands to fix. (basically a retaining wall that was not built to code and was fixed with rebar reenforced cement pillers on the other side of the wall. The "damn" thing is strong enough now that is can hold back just about anything but its quite ugly and if I want to sell the house, I am worried the new owner could down the line make trouble for me in the event anything else happens?? The fix was done by a licensed contractor and inspected by city inspectors, not sure if it ever was sign off as being finished though. I guess my question is do home inspectors look at just the house, or can he make trouble for me and start poking around this structure. I've been toying with the idea of stuccoing the whole thing as to try and make it look better...
