Photo taken from pool/deck area of this new, pricey ($1.8M) home today. I just thought it was amusing is all.
That’s pretty funny. You think they misplaced the shower door?
That is one view I would not like.
How 'bout this one below. 100 year old home. The only bathroom was accessible from the back porch glass door. I arrived early at the inspection and, being a morning man, was having my daily constitutional when an absolutely beautiful woman arrived to meet me. I was caught with my britches down for sure! Ranks real high on my most embarrassing moments list.
I was doing a inspection and was caught between stops, Using the basement bathroom was a good idea i thought because everyone would be busy upstairs . Not checking if there was a fan ( in a hurry ) i did my business. Guess what everyone decided to go down stairs and check the basement first thing . the wife of the buyer whispered to her husband , husband came over and said Mr. Inspector is there anyway to check if sewer gas is coming in ? Well i slowly turned and said lets see if it clears first . I skip lunch now . and yes i did write up the basement bathroom for not having a window or fan.
Is this a local code violation or just an upgrade recommendation?
Gots to have proper ventilation in a water closet. It’s in all the major model codes, ICBO, ICC, etc…
Did a re-inspection last month. While I was re-inspecting the roof, the sellers wife decided to drop a bomb. She knew I needed to re-inspect a few issues in that bathroom too. Wonder if she was just pissed about the initial inspection because they had to replace the roof and I found structural WDO damage. It wasn’t pleasant.
In case of emergency, break glass
Hey, does that flush out the little tube thingy at the left side of the pic?
Yes, that’s why there are two thingy’s, one for solid, one for liquid…you gotta remember, this was a high end home. 
Recommendation i do not quote codes as a good little home inspector should .
Besides that it was a global warming Problem in the home ( that is if i visit):twisted:
