Gingerbread House…Flunks Inspection!!!

Hi. I’m Rick Nipper with Nipper Home Solutions.

Again during the holiday season, I have been asked to inspect a gingerbread house, not any ordinary gingerbread house. It’s “The Gingerbread Mansion.”

So now I’m going to share with you some of my findings.

First, there are no ridge vents or dormer vent which leads me to be concerned about the lack of attic ventilation and whether the house will be energy efficient.

The siding has a strong odor of ginger? I’m not familiar with any building products that have this odor.

Unfortunately, the windows are all iced shut.

I am particularly concerned about the structural ingredients that make up the house. Therefore, I am recommending that an engineer visit the site and taste a sample for further evaluation.

Oh…no…not again this year! The inspector is too large to enter the house and therefore can not inspect the interior.

Oh well…I guess we’ll just call it a day and wish you Happy Holidays from all of us at Nipper Home Solutions!
