I rented a basement with the window grates bolted down. Didn’t know a)it wasn’t allowed and b) why it was bad. I’ll know to check that next time, damn.

Wow, talking about a lemon of a house. Its all good tho, noone is going to live there, its simply for laundering money and flipping.

One builder in Surrey got caught passing inspection then removing every second stud to save money. So instead of a stud every 16" there was one every 32".

Edit: another one got caught putting random garbage (cans, bottles, etc) in cement as filler to save on cement.

This isn't just an issue for detached homes. A lot of the new apartments, condos, etc. have tons of issues that get past inspections.

This guy is a genius making youtube videos as a home inspector.

Underground rooms with barred windows used to be called dungeons, now they're called mortgage helpers.

Only an absolute moron would buy that house. So I'm sure it'll be sold very quickly.

I've been saying this for the last few years. All the shitty work is going to start showing up in 10-20 years. Our neighbors hand some dudes put up new fencing last year, cost them a few grand. It's already starting to warp. (Untreated wood?). Damn near everyone I know that's had cupboards put in have that one that doesn't close right. Gotta hope more care is being put into structural stuff...?
