House of Horrors (actual home, thousands of defects, inside a building) update thread

Kenton has been working hard.

HVAC moving right along!

Also, we will have miswired outlets in lighted gangboxes that will swivel out from the wall for easy examination of the wiring.

Here are some pictures from last Friday’s event at the House of Horrors. We had a great crowd that night!

More pictures from May 21, 2016. Great food, information and hands on time with over $20,000 worth of tools from Inspector Outlet!

We made the news, CBS: http://denver.cbslocal.com/2016/06/10/home-inspection-organizations-certification/

We are constructing exterior inspection stations for inspectors to experience different exterior coverings and window installations. Each will have an iPad with information.

Impressive, I can only imagine what the prints for that house of horrors look like. :wink:

Each station has:
a window,
2 inside corners,
2 outside corners,
A dryer vent penetration,
a headwall condition,
sidewalls that extend out past the eves, and
a foundation that terminates 7 inches above grade

With 8 stations we can show installation of 16 different wall claddings, including some that interface with each other, like stucco above a stone wainscot.
There will be a gap down the center of each station so that substrate layers can be seen.

Nice work Kenton.

Here’s a first floor plan.
