Magic guardrails. No newel posts required, apparently.

Who needs kickout flashing? Just install another gutter on the wall to catch the water that doesn't make it into the first gutter.

Are these overnotched? Maybe. We better check our notching and boring tables to be sure. This photo was courtesy of Derek Burchill with Electric City.

Yeah, that happened. This photo was also courtesy of Derek Burchill with Electric City.

Would you walk on this? We didn't.

OUCH. This photo courtesy of Ray Reps, of Ray's Independence Auto Repair.

New air freshener scent: Tahitian PolyVinyl Chloride

Ahh! Get out! The drapes are on fire! Oh no, wait, that's just an infrared image. They're fine.

Now it fits.

Government humor. "Ped" is trade talk for that green box next to the sign. We know, it's not home inspection related, but Dustin took this photo and kindly explained why this was funny to the rest of our team. He's right, this is GOLDEN.

Missed it by that much.

What 17 tubes of caulking will get you.

Painted grout lines. They actually looked pretty good from the street.

Flex Seal® to the rescue. This photo courtesy of Virginia home inspector Bronson Anderson.

Properly bonded outlet.

One heck of a calling card.

The most expensive way to hold up shelves.

That makes 20. There were a few other cool photos that we took this year, however, and I have to share them while I have your attention.
