Believe it or not, but I found another thing not to do when listing a house. This Glendale fixer-upper has some char to it from the outside, except for the target practice someone did to the front wall.
The problem, however was on the inside. At first glance there is a nice new 50 gallon water heater.
The label says that it was built in 2009 and that it is electric. So far everything looks fine. On top I discovered that the water lines were hooked up. Then things got a little interesting. Can you see two glaring problems in this picture?
The T&P line from the old water heater is cut off and not connected to the new one. The other problem is that there is no electrical supply to it. Not only is there no electrical wires supplying power to the water heater, the only fuel source that is available at the water heater is gas.
What you really have here is lipstick on a pig.

Ha - funny what people will try to get away with. I feel like I'm watching a game show and I want to shout, "Good eye, good eye!"
Incredible - you just can't make these things up!
Thank you so good information, Great post Loren!
Cara, Debbe - Just wait for the next blog about this house. There is more stupidity.
Emilia - Thank you for reading.
Good post, Loren. That is why we need you home inspectors. However, I think even I would have spotted this one.
Not pretty Loren. Basically it means that this home is not in 'live in ' condition.
Loren, Good catch. I am still waiting for the next post on this house.
