Brandon Whitmore Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 This is a pic taken in a bathroom of a 1960's home. The fan in the picture is new-- can't figure out what happened to the old one..... Image Insert: 37.74 KB
Eric B Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 And the seller thinks no one will notice? [:-dunce]
Brandon Whitmore Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Posted March 14, 2008 It was an estate inspection.... they wanted to know what to fix prior to sale. If it was on the market, I would expect to see a painting incorporating the singed material, or a heavy coat or primer and paint. [:-slaphap
Eric B Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 One thought. I think that it would be prudent to have the wiring to the new fan checked out. If it was damaged by heat/fire it's likely that it has been derated and is a safety concern.
Brandon Whitmore Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Posted March 14, 2008 Good call... and thanks for making sure.. I could have overlooked it. I pulled the fan cover off and checked inside. The wiring is spankin' new yellow sheathed Romex. I have a feeling the old wiring was fried.
