Just passing the time...

There is a bit of a lull right now at work, between Excel & PowerPoint firedrills. So I started poking around a bit on the internets and found a fantastic series at This Old House.

It's currently a 10 part series of all of the crazy things that home inspectors have found while on the job. It could likely be retitled: Stupid Human Home-owning Tricks.

  3. My grandmother's house did look similar to this for 50 years or so:
