A picture is in fact worth a thousand words.  Since we stared adding photographs to our standard inspection reports years ago we seldom get calls into the office from clients who don’t understand or builders who cannot find a defect.  The digital age has really helped us with respect to this form of communication.  I am going to try to post photos from time to time which I think tell the story with little or no commentary.  Of course I will add it but with brevity.

This photo was taken in an attic which was supposed to have just less than 12 inches of blown fiberglass insulation in compliance with the 2006 IECC (energy code).  In fact they had a tag on the kitchen counter indicating it was inspected that morning and passed.  This condition existed over a large portion of the attic.  Guess it's hard to see this from the access stairs.  Not the only IECC violation, just the easiest to check.
