  1. No insulation baffle at edge, insulation can clog vent.
    Trusses look different, potential missing truss element on middle visible truss.
  2. Rigid pipe to water heater, should be flexible.
    TPR possibly goes up, unclear.
  3. Fire rating of wall destroyed by hole.
  4. No defect observed, other than minor chip in tile lower left.
  5. Rust on subpanel indicates potential high humidity in room.

No frog kisses here.

No one got #1. I thought it was quite obvious.

No worries, it is like that game “I spy with my little eye…something screwed up”

There may be more than one thing, but it is the thing YOU are spying that matters.
