Animals, Skeletons and Creepy Home Inspection Stuff
by Reuben Saltzman, StructureTech
It’s that time of year again, where we share some of our creepiest (and cutest) home inspection finds. From odd trinkets to just plain dead animals, we have found it all this year. These pictures prove once again, that this job is not for the faint of heart. Enjoy!
1. The Dirty Bathtub
I’d hate to be the last person to use this bathtub.
2. The Blue Man’s Head
Seriously, someone had to put this here to creep us out.
3. The Cat in the Sink
Please move, we’re trying to work (shown above).
4. Squirrel Remains in the Fireplace
This is why you should always have a spark arrestor on your chimney.
5. Fried Frog
Nothing like some delicious frog jerky!
6. A Dead Mouse Stuck to a Wall
How’d it get stuck there??
7. Another Dead Squirrel
At least, that’s what we think it is.
8. Bones on the Roof
This is more common than one might think…
9. Garter Snake in Window Flashing
Luckily, these little guys are harmless.
10. Also a Raven
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
11. An Adorable Family of Four
These fox kits were both adorable and distracting.
12. Squirrels Galore
This house had a major squirrel infestation.
13. The Rat in the Toilet
You’re looking at the remains of a rat in the bottom of this toilet. And it looks like it tried to gnaw its way out for a while.
14. Make that Three Dead Squirrels
Just kickin’ it.
15. Finally, Make it Four
Just hangin’ out.
