It’s two full pages, and will probably grow to three at the next rewrite.
You do the specific disclaiming in your report, like, "the left wall of the family room was not visible because of a wall to wall and floor to ceiling entertainment center. Hidden defects not visible at the time of the inspection may be present".
. If so does nachi have the disclaimer form for the members to download and use.
