The Inspection

UPDATED:
We submitted this to the owner and we'll see if he accepts it or not!

We got the house inspected today! And as far as inspections go it wasn’t the worst I’ve gotten nor was it the best. But it's no secret that this house needs some work. That being said, I would like to point out the following items need to be fixed.

List of items that need to be fixed in 7406 Fireoak.
1. Gas leak under cooktop must be investigated and repaired.

2. Ventilation system for cooktop in kitchen is necessary and will require venting thru attic.

3. Repair leak on the cold water side of the right side sink fixture in the master bathroom and any attendant damage must be repaired to the surrounding wallboard/cabinetry.

4. Repair of a leak at the drain of the same sink as in Item #3, along with any attendant damage to surrounding wallboard/cabinetry.

5. Wiring for the outlets in the master bedroom is tied with the GFCI outlet for the jetted tub. This GFCI outlet is enclosed inside the tub skirting and can only be accessed by a special key. In an emergency, it would be nearly impossible to access quickly. For safety issues, the jetted tub must have its own GFCI circuit or be wired properly to remove the bedroom outlets from the GFCI loop and make it quickly accessible.

6. Laminate flooring is buckling in areas and is in need of repair to deter additional buckling/damage.

7. Thermal seals broken on several windows.

8. Jetted tub tiles need grout

9. A master bedroom window is covered with sheetrock without appropriate outside sealing.

Now that wasn't so bad, right...? All I need to do now is figure out how much all this will cost me to have fixed.
