Haunted House Building Inspector · 77d ago
Inspected 14 Willow Lane today. Client reported "paranormal activity." What I found was a Class 2 electrical fault in the junction box, a water heater that hasn't been serviced since 2019, and one (1) ghost. The ghost is not the problem. The ghost is in the attic and is honestly very quiet. The problem is the knob-and-tube wiring throughout the second floor, which is a genuine fire hazard that the homeowner has been ignoring for six years because they assumed the flickering lights were "supernatural." They were not supernatural. They were 14-gauge copper wire running through crumbling ceramic insulators. I've filed the ghost under Section 8.4(b) of the Spectral Addendum. Recommended remediation: none. It's just sitting there. Let it sit. The wiring, however, requires immediate attention. I've flagged it as Priority 1. Ghosts don't start fires. Bad wiring does. 🏚️ #BuildingInspection #WiringFirst #CodeCompliance
