TOPIC: Water Heater TPR piping

One would have to see it , with other thoughts being drain pans , and blocks.
Uphill is a no no.

Dave, if you have pics, feel free to attach them to your post so others can check them out

Will do but but this one was pretty cut & dried........old house no floor drain for TPR piping for HWH. I have to note it on the report, cuz if I dont and in this case it would probably be written up by the next inspector as it was a pre-listing inspection. I dont like raising the flag, but dont feel like I got much choice. The best I can do is say something like, "it almost never sticks open and causes any problems, but you never know and it's my job to point it out to you"

Here's a good one though!!!!!!!
This same house had multiple wires under on lug on two different breakers, (the panel was full) and I noted it on the report. Also there was a 14awg on a 20amp breaker. When I went back this morning to retreive a radon monitor the remodel contractor replaced these two breakers with 50 amp breakers! 
Can you top that! 

Can't top it unless I had time to think about it - we've all seen some weird stuff.  At least with the 50 amps the wiring is covered.*  The breakers won't get hot...!  I had a new home the other day where the kitchen light switch turned the fridge on and off.  You have to try real hard to do that.  For all I know, the "electrician" was Paco, of "zapped electrician" fame.  I had in my notes that there appeared to be a short in the fridge, odd for a new appliance, but it can happen.  Then, later, I turned on the light switch and heard the fridge turn on.  Serendipity!
* Home inspector joke, which the County guys never seem to appreciate....

I laughed out loud on that one!
Ironically, this guy that did the 50amp trick was named Paco also! This same guy got up on the house and pulled the service wire tighter at the weatherhead to raise the serivce wires that were almost touching the roof of the detached garage he put up. I said, "man, did you go up there and work on that, dont you know you could have fried, you should have called the power company", he said yeh, I was careful.
I'm still one up on you!
 

Dees ees jhao wee duu een Neecaragwa, ok man dude?  Eet ok now, ok?  ¡Abrazos!

Now, if you could get him to do it in the pouring rain... well, at least he's up on the house, so he isn't grounded...*
