Inspection Finished

House inspection today, mostly went well:
There is a broken valve in the water line attached to the well, easy fix.

 There is a lot of sand in the water pipes, not just gunk from sitting for a year so pump probably needs a screen.


 There isn't a lot of insulation under the floor, basically none.
The crawl space is mostly dry.

 There is no attic access,
The roof is only about 5 years old and its a 30 year roof.
There were no bugs anywhere, besides little spiders under the house.
It has good water pressure.
There are a LOT of electrical outlets.
The wood fireplace flue is rotted and needs to be replaced.
The gas (propane) fireplace is in good condition with a metal chimney insert in good condition.


That's about it for things the inspector was concerned about. He didn't even go out to the barn area.
Things I noticed:
The gutters would work better if they weren't full of leaves from the neighbors trees, the down spouts would work better if they were hooked up to the drain pipes properly.
The French doors could easily be kicked in,
need something inside as secondary floor lock.
