Laundry room vent to attic ?

Just for grins I started hanging out on the HACHI web site and I took the test. For $350 I could have been a HACHI "certified" Home Inspector. The "test" was a joke and some of the "right" answers were wrong. The working Home Inspectors there were asking the same kinds of questions people ask here and getting a lot of bad answers. Bear in mind, people were paying these guys. The strange thing is, when Florida started licensing Home Inspectors, just waving that $350 HACHI certification. Even with that license, here are a few things the HI missed at my kid's house.

The light in the closet

The fan "light kit". The water heater connection They also missed a 12+ foot unprotected SE cable inside a wall and the fact that there was one whole room with zero receptacles. Someone had a handy box surface mounted on the wall with a duplex in it and Romex going through the wall where it was plugged into a receptacle in the next room.

That was just the electrical.

International Residential Code, part of the ICC suite of codes.

Sounds about right. They likely noticed a cracked light switch plate and a faucet handle that was clocked about 15 degrees off - - - or mabee where someone had put their fist through a wall.

They actually complained about some brick pavers that belonged to the neighbor.
