Thread Home inspections! They do nothing!

[Valve1138]

Ours kicked on a couple days ago. Most of Dec and January it's on.

What's it set to, and is the house insulated correctly, specifically the attic type area and windows.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

I am not upset with him. I am upset at the whole thing, the whole expense of this house. I would have thought inspections would have made me more aware of the shortcomes of homeownership, but apparently not.

Need a hug, buddy?

Otters don't retain heat very well.

Srsly. Our AC is still on during the day. Don't anticipate needing a heater till December at the earliest.

I can't wait for this weather to chill out so I can crank my AC down...

It's been almost 2 years since I could really turn it off for any real amount of time.

Civil suit against the inspector for not doing what he was paid to do.

Nope.

This is why you buy a new home, when possible.

And get a house with PEX pipes, OSB i-beams for floor joists, OSB everywhere else that it can be used, ultralight drywall, and zero build quality to boot? fuck that.

Buy a home made in the mid 80s to early 90s. People had money then, and didn't want to blow it on shit like heated floors.

When I was framing my shed, I put down an OSB floor instead of plywood. figured it's it's inside the building's vapor envelope, it wouldn't get wet ordinarily, etc. I did everything proper, ran them perpendicular to the floor joists. It was solid.

Then when I was building the roof framing, we had a week of hard rain. The OSB swelled and I now had a spongy floor, end up putting plywood on top of it before I put down the flooring.

No wet inside? What about dog piss!

VCT tile floor (aka walmart/hospital floor) to the rescue.

humidity even makes osb swell, i wouldn't use it anywhere unconditioned.
