Every time I attempted to go outside to
inspect the crawlspace the seller would attempt to engage me
in conversation. Throughout the course of the entire
inspection he acted as if I wasn't even there while he talked
with the Realtor and the buyer. The minute I announced I was
going to the crawlspace he had questions about home
inspections and information about the property.
When I finally made it outside I found
numerous items in my path and the access hatch screwed shut as
well as padlocked. I removed the screws and cut through the
pad lock with my bolt cutters. I always carry extra padlocks
and a set of bolt cutters when performing inspections because
in many cases the key to the crawlspace is lost or missing.
When I finally got into the crawlspace I
found several items in the way, the greatest concentration was
stuff was near the broken girder. I was also amused by the
fact that there were no spider or cobwebs as one would
customarily find in a area of the crawlspace that hasn't been
disturbed in a years as the seller told us.
