What Are These Homeowners Breathing?

 

Home inspector, Doug Simmons, drags me into the attic, sits me here and makes a photo. When I realize what is going on I am thankful he had the forethought to cut the furnace off before involving me. Ouch, this is hot!!! Even baby unicorns know this is potential deadly dangerous. WOW, a completely disconnected attic furnace flue. Doesn't get much more alarming than that. Remember that Doug is also a Winston-Salem Firefighter. He was not pleased with this, sending the "Old Man" a text. 

"How is this for a CO (carbon monoxide) monitor post?"

Our home inspectors (www.chrisdhilton.com) have observed issues like this many times in storage rooms, closets, crawlspaces, basements and attics. 

Yes, potential issues like this is one of the reasons every home should have carbon monoxide detectors. 

Does yours?
