410.10(D) Bathtub and Shower Areas. A luminaire installed in a bathtub or shower area shall meet all of the following requirements: (1) No parts of cord-connected luminaires, chain-, cable-, or cord-suspended luminaires, lighting track, pendants, or ceiling-suspended (paddle) fans with luminaire (light kit) shall be located within a zone measured 3 feet horizontally and 8 feet vertically from the top of the bathtub rim or shower stall threshold. This zone is all-encompassing and includes the space directly over the tub or shower stall. So technically you could, as long as it's above that 8 foot mark , which is pretty unlikely given most ceiling heights. It would also need to be damp or wet rated, which is also pretty unlikely. It's also just a bad idea.
@@PaulGuy According to what you quoted, its the height above the bathtub rim or shower threshold -- where someone might attempt to stand, and high enough that a typical person cannot reach it. A chandelier over the tub sounds like a no-go for most folks.
Our inspector saved us easily 100K in repairs. We were purchasing a houses that looked gorgeous! 800k with all the bells an whistles. I was so excited. Until inspection day. He informed us that the house was a mess. All behind the scenes. Nothing had been repaired, tons of mold behind the stucco, leaks, roofing issues etc. Thank God for him. We were able to get our down payment back and purchase a different house in the same development, that we love. Now my son bought a house, a flip. He had a shitty inspector and has been dealing with the mess and aftermath of shotty work, since. Your inspector is everything! Do your research.
many states only require a payment to register a business with the state. Michigan requires no test or requirements to be a home inspector. Every state is different!
A lot of inspectors let things slide, if for no other reason than to not be a nuisance for the realtor who hired him. They walk a fine line - catching enough stuff to cover themselves legally, but not enough that it hurts the realtor's sales. Which is why handyman skills are important, even if you prefer not to repair things yourself. Being able to at least identify problem areas and have some idea of what it would take to fix them is a good insurance policy against an inspector "missing" something in order to help a sale go through.
@@christopherenders4280 Nah I just sold a condo where the inspector found 20 problems, literally 19 of them were completely false, the 1 that was true was an issue with the building, not the condo. Claimed there was no hot water, no tilt protector for the oven when there was hot water and a tilt protector. All of it was bs. The realtor wanted to deduct $1k per problem listed. Lost all respect for inspectors after that job.
@@to4316was your inspector claiming issues like this inspector in the video? or was it all just bogus claims because then he might have been a uncertified home inspector
Lesson I learned was that, don't source everything from one place. I asked my realtor for Inspector references, Reno guy references. It would dawn on me later that there would be collusion. But the process to buy is so exhausting, that the prospective home owner just takes shortcuts.
Meanwhile my husband and I (thankfully) moved from an old apartment to a brand new apartment, so we get to yell "new construction!" when we find strange things.
Don’t blame the builders entirely. Most products are sold damaged and installed damaged. Inspection will pass it either because it’s too far from where they work or pure laziness. Not to say some builders are purposely shady.
@@igaming15Nearly all builders are shady af and everyone knows that. It's the same in all countries, I've lived in 2 countries and a common denominator in both is that builders are lazy scammers.

@@cia8613 lol which is why I said “not to say some builders are purposely shady”. Yes there are shady builders but to ignore the inspectors bad jobs. Or the companies that provide the products to be installed in the house. They sometimes send bad products. For instance I install windows and doors. Several times the company sends us many doors and windows that are damaged or broken. They tell us to install it and then we don’t know anything of those windows after that. We’re already on to the next house. Just cause builders are Shay mostly for you doesn’t mean that the companies and inspectors I’ve worked with aren’t shady all because they’re not builders.

@@SirSkidds not YOU silly The potential buyer 😂😂 And if you think they care It’s in their best interest to not know Then sue for proper repair No money out of pocket Sell Profit Next
And everyone of these problems should've been caught and/or never left for an inspector to find. A worthwhile contractor will do their own final inspection before a building inspector is called. This is bush league with a high pricetag.
The worst part is that these issues are only obvious (for the buyer) *after* living in the home. Unfortunately worthwhile contractors are getting rarer and rarer unless they're selling high end homes.
This is modern America. All these new construction homes that are built one neighborhood at a time are all built so quick and so cheap and have massive amounts of issues. If it wasn't built before the 80s, I'm not buying it.
just don't forget to pay the cost, when you find a worthwhile contractor. Very few wana tell that part of the story.... That's how the cheap guy got hired for the job.
@@F9109-r1e Amen. I've been told for years, if a house were to meet every single code in the original bid, nobody could afford one. Now, im sure that's a bit of a stretch, however, it's certainly more expensive to build now in most places than it's ever been. I personally think, unrealistic expectations from new home owners/first time builders, is just one of the many reasons it seems that houses don't last as long as they used to. From bad concrete foundations, to cracks in tile, grout, corners ect. It seems that trades don't look out for one another as much as we used to. There's far less good craftsmen in all trades and in an industry that's primarily been hands on training, the tradesmen that are worth having aren't as easy to come by and stick out like a sore thumb.
I like that you said "good" inspector. Had my frame inspection a few days ago. The inspector called me afterwards to ask me what a smoke alarm code meant 😂 I'm on the phone with him thinking "isn't it _your_ job to tell _me_ about that?" 😂 His question was about how in California if your main house doesn't have smoke alarms, your adu's don't need em either
This is a common problem with "flips" in some neighborhoods. The developer takes a so-so house that they picked up cheaply, then without repairing or updating infastructure, they start making cosmetic changes. We have one in our neighborhood and its not selling. Grey laminate flooring, asian built cabinets, flashy granite countertops, those prefab shower enclosures. Instead, they should have put a new roof on it, re-plumbed with PEX, took out the cast iron drains, and put in hurricane rated windows, doors, and garage door. All of those things were ignored.Eventually they will get a buyer, but the buyers agent identified all the above needed addressing, and now they are legally bound to disclose that the existing windows, plumbing, etc. are likely not going to last through more than a couple of years with out needing to be replaced.
I wish you were my inspector a few years ago. Ours just said "It's up to code" or the things the owner had to fix before purchase (he was a hobby electrician who put an indoor outlet on the floor of the second story deck and got mad at the inspector because "It won't get wet. It's under a canopy tent!")
@@smartiemartie116a big part that most dont think about is we are going in with no emotional attachment. Very few people will buy a house they don’t love on some level. Vs.

I like how we all have eyes for the industry we work in. In my life I have worked in food, construction, janitorial, and insurance so I always see the good, bad, and ugly too whenever I’m in a setting with those things.
Depending on the state apartments can be different. Many odd things are “shared areas” and while noted on an inspection the fault doesn’t necessarily give you negotiating power that it should. Just my experience
Many apartments I've lived in were only rentable because code updates only trigger when the construction changes. One had 50 degree staircase about 2'4" wide with no top landing and a door short enough that the trim had to be removed to get a king mattress through the door because of vertical clearance. I am 6'3" and I currently have a bathroom doorway that I have to slightly duck and turn slightly sideways to go through. I have looked at apartments that I passed on that were converted attics where the shower heads point at the center of my chest and I could only stand up in the very center of the apartments.
Not an inspector but my brain immediately went for the chandelier above the tub If that sharp end doesn't kill you the wires potentially still attached definitely will lmaooo
I thought the first look showed a pretty tepid "design", as if someone just threw together dull elements from other houses, without really thinking about it at all.
Tiny bathtub, no shower, chandelier over microtub and two vanities? Give me a sliding barn door, flush mounts, and a big rainfall style shower, with one black iron pipe aesthetic vanity.
The fact there are not one, not two, but THREE entrances to this "bathroom" makes everything else irrelevant. A bathroom should only ever have ONE door! This is miserable! 🤢
Cabinet Maker here. It blows my mind when I go do final bump and adjust how much blue tape gets left behind these days.... like just don't buy the cheap tape and uhh.... maybe take it off BEFORE the paint is cured?
i'm sorry but I want to know what kind of person wants a bathroom where: - There's 3 separate doorways leading into it - A bathtub in the middle of the room - A chandelier directly above the bathtub - A double door facing directly at the bathtub - There's 2 separate sinks with opposing mirrors on opposite side of the room - Have a cupboard(?) in it
I’m no inspector, but I always wanted to be one. I either want to be a home inspector, or food safety inspector. I feel like inspectors keep things moving the way they should be. I admire you for your services and quality work.
The fact there are at least three entrances to this "bathroom" should be an immediate deal breaker to any reasonable person. That's not a bathroom, that's the central hub of the house! 😂
just bought my first home. i thought it would be a good diy becauuse there were only minor faults, but 1.5 yrs later and we are still fixing rubbing doors, bad/broken light switches, and other things
It's funny how life works for different people. I live in a "double room" that is smaller than that bathroom. It's well decorated (I think), and I do have an en suite, which I was over the moon with when i found the mirror has a built-in light around the edges. £650 per month to live in a house share in England, only thing I can afford but I'm happy and if it were inspected and a bunch of things found to be wrong, I wouldn't care. Warm, safe and stylish. What more could you want?
just affects appraisal value and also some of these things can become bigger problems if not fixed, a new owner won't want to take on these problems if they're just looking to settle into a new place and not renovate a new place
@@SchwiftySamsara same, i'd been living in share houses myself for the past year but i also just enjoy knowing about all kinds of stuff like this, maybe one day i can get into remodeling properties and stuff
All this dudes doing to owners punch, hes not helping you hes covering for the developer or owner of the project so they get their moneys worth from their subcontractors
I wish I had an inspector even half as good as you when I bought my house. There’s literally dozens of really obvious faults that he didn’t even mention. I mean, our ducted gas heater didn’t even have a filter or filter frame and he didn’t notice, there was a leak from the condensate tube where it was cracked at a fitting on the heater in the ceiling space that started pouring through the smoke detectors shutting down our power. There’s obvious water ingress into the eaves and he didn’t notice… Funny that our (not a building inspector) electrician found all of this stuff straight off for free but the inspector we paid good money to didn’t see anything wrong.
@@warnertesla8297what? Do you want a personal invite to come and inspect the house? While you’re there I can show you the water damage and the bills from the electrician for new smoke detectors and the gas installer for the fix on the ducted heating. How the fu*k do you know what did or did not happen and why the hell would anyone make up something like that. You’re weird dude.
Yep we need more people like you on our side! Been through hell with so-called reputable contractors doing shiddy work. I learned a LOT about home repair, and how to correct and complete contractors shoddy work through real experts who care about people and safe quality work on you tube! Thanks to you real experts, you haved saved millions time money, given us information to stand up for ourselves, save ourselves money, and save ourselves from mountains of headaches! Thank you!
I have definitely done too much renovations because I immediately saw the lightbulbs and thought the chandelier looked a little low. I don't even work in the industry, just helped out my dad a lot
Yeah call me paranoid about a light fixtures hanging above a tub. I the wire isn't going to be long enough to drop that far but still, Final Destination was way too graphic of a movie.
the first thing i saw was the horrible feng shui of that bath tub. 2 assassins from the side, and 1 in the front coming from the door, and a 4th above me if they keep that chandelier hanging. seriously, a chandelier above a tub of water, what a way to claim insurance lol
Rightt that bathroom looks like it was just slapped together by someone with no spacial reasoning... Where is the towel rack and where are you gonna put a bath mat without it looking tacky so you don't slip and hurt yourself 🤦♀️
You know....the floor tile should have been set diagonally. Also....that chandelier, as cheap as it was, should have been replaced with a better one....and moved to a better location! That tub should have been set widthwise (is that an actual word?!), as opposed to the middle of the floor in the position that it is in. Cabinet doors should have been repaired (they look off track), with two layers primer, new handle applied (safety), waterproof sealer Toilet needs bolt tightening and new wax ring......
So thankful for my inspector. When I bought my condo he told me the problems I would need to fix immediately, those to save up for, and the areas I didn’t have to worry about. 😊
About that chandelier over the tub, I imagine it went down like this... Interior designer: How do you want your bathroom to look like? Owner: Ever heard of The Sword Of Damocles? Interior designer: Say no more fam
i love the goldeneye music to top it off 😂it pays to look at the details when inspecting a new living space! i took a cursory glance of my first apartment, and while it's okay- there's definitely a bunch of shoddy quick fixes that i'm wishing i noticed sooner.
Right? Like aside from maybe the chandelier all of those are obvious. Most anyone would notice a bulb not lighting, a toilet being loose, cracks in the door and doors rubbing.
Code inspectors get w bad wrap.. like cops; they dont make the rules... However most code inspectors act like the shit cops w the ego issue. I have a strong disliking for the people that make the dumb rules.
Interesting to me as well because as an electrician I was told it is illegal for us to hang chandeliers above tubs

Or actually learn how to fix your own stuff and be able to read the code book
@@RinkyRoo2021why that’s why these Jobs exist we all have our place I fortunately can pay someone to do it
@@NoProjectNamehey genius that’s not what I meant figure it out
Keep killing it, bro. Love the background music!
Basically what Mom see versus what Dad sees
i'm sorry but I want to know what kind of person wants a bathroom where:
- There's 3 separate doorways leading into it
- A bathtub in the middle of the room
- A chandelier directly above the bathtub
- A double door facing directly at the bathtub
- There's 2 separate sinks with opposing mirrors on opposite side of the room
- Have a cupboard(?) in it
Yeah, I don't understand that either. #1 would already be a dealbreaker to me.
I’m no inspector, but I always wanted to be one. I either want to be a home inspector, or food safety inspector. I feel like inspectors keep things moving the way they should be. I admire you for your services and quality work.
I love this guy. The world needs more people like this around. Great job keep it up.
Thankfully you're doing this!! I appreciate you brother. Wish you were here in VB.❤
VB?
I think Virginia Beach
Love this because it helps me know what to look for when I eventually buy a home in two decades
Chandelier directly above the tub? That's some cartoon villain death scene foreshadowing...
Man, watching all these videos makes me never want a new home.
Trey the truth, keeping the shady folks in the light
I dunno if id call the not completely snugged toilet a shady move by the plumber lmao. Shady implies out to screw people,this is just laziness 😂
I do inspections as part of my work and I definitely find myself saying "That ain't right" 😅 You're doing valuable work! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@nikkihaywood4744 how bout "loosey goosey"?
thank you for your service, sir. you save hundreds of lives every hurricane season in Florida
Apparently in AZ, only the good inspectors see that. The contractors' inspectors and the government inspectors don't see diddly squat!
Love the sound track 😉
So true! I always get so caught up in the beauty of a house and overlook the flaws. This is why I always hire an inspector!
It would be hilarious to see an edit of this with V.a.t.s from fallout. Inspectors are able to lock in on the issues
...sounds like something a synth would say...
XD
My inspectors cleared up so many surprises! All done with the immediate concerns, and still working on the should dos!
This what a good inspector is
Bro, that N64 Goldeneye soundtrack. Started playing the bunker mission in my head but with that bathroom as the map. Lol
Haha. Whatever you do, don't look up Project Pat Goldeneye.
The bond music was a nice touch sir.
That bathroom is actually hideous.
It screams cheap.
@lilredddd4507 the edges of the floor are so bad. they don't even look half-finished. they look "tear it out and start over".
The fact there are at least three entrances to this "bathroom" should be an immediate deal breaker to any reasonable person.
That's not a bathroom, that's the central hub of the house! 😂
Normal person: Mhm, beautiful💅
ME: Who the duck would want to bath in the middle of the room🤨
not just the middle of a room, but it has 2 doorways beside it and one in front of it.
just bought my first home. i thought it would be a good diy becauuse there were only minor faults, but 1.5 yrs later and we are still fixing rubbing doors, bad/broken light switches, and other things
Seems like they forgot to update those sink cabinets, yeah, thrown together.
They were probably left there because they were a quality build.... And I wish you luck finding quality new s*** nowadays 🍻
Haters everywhere❤😂
@@dmillionaire7 your build is terrible
It's funny how life works for different people. I live in a "double room" that is smaller than that bathroom. It's well decorated (I think), and I do have an en suite, which I was over the moon with when i found the mirror has a built-in light around the edges. £650 per month to live in a house share in England, only thing I can afford but I'm happy and if it were inspected and a bunch of things found to be wrong, I wouldn't care. Warm, safe and stylish. What more could you want?
just affects appraisal value and also some of these things can become bigger problems if not fixed, a new owner won't want to take on these problems if they're just looking to settle into a new place and not renovate a new place
@@nindoninshu Fair enough! Stuff I've never had to think about
@@SchwiftySamsara same, i'd been living in share houses myself for the past year but i also just enjoy knowing about all kinds of stuff like this, maybe one day i can get into remodeling properties and stuff
We need 1000 more of these guys
no we need guys that can actually fix those problems.
All this dudes doing to owners punch, hes not helping you hes covering for the developer or owner of the project so they get their moneys worth from their subcontractors
This is like a realistic toned down version of anime detectives realizing all kinds of stuff nobody else did.
This is the kind of stuff I love RUclips for. Change our perspective. Thank you
I wish I had an inspector even half as good as you when I bought my house. There’s literally dozens of really obvious faults that he didn’t even mention. I mean, our ducted gas heater didn’t even have a filter or filter frame and he didn’t notice, there was a leak from the condensate tube where it was cracked at a fitting on the heater in the ceiling space that started pouring through the smoke detectors shutting down our power. There’s obvious water ingress into the eaves and he didn’t notice… Funny that our (not a building inspector) electrician found all of this stuff straight off for free but the inspector we paid good money to didn’t see anything wrong.
This never happened
@@warnertesla8297what? Do you want a personal invite to come and inspect the house? While you’re there I can show you the water damage and the bills from the electrician for new smoke detectors and the gas installer for the fix on the ducted heating. How the fu*k do you know what did or did not happen and why the hell would anyone make up something like that. You’re weird dude.
Yep we need more people like you on our side! Been through hell with so-called reputable contractors doing shiddy work. I learned a LOT about home repair, and how to correct and complete contractors shoddy work through real experts who care about people and safe quality work on you tube! Thanks to you real experts, you haved saved millions time money, given us information to stand up for ourselves, save ourselves money, and save ourselves from mountains of headaches! Thank you!
It seems like they tried to mix 1960-70's design, and modern design.
I have definitely done too much renovations because I immediately saw the lightbulbs and thought the chandelier looked a little low. I don't even work in the industry, just helped out my dad a lot
Thought this was gonna be a skit about paint being chipped and an inspector freaking out, but this informative tone is definitely welcome.
Makes you wonder what else they half assed?
Yeah call me paranoid about a light fixtures hanging above a tub. I the wire isn't going to be long enough to drop that far but still, Final Destination was way too graphic of a movie.
the first thing i saw was the horrible feng shui of that bath tub. 2 assassins from the side, and 1 in the front coming from the door, and a 4th above me if they keep that chandelier hanging. seriously, a chandelier above a tub of water, what a way to claim insurance lol
same! that layout is so weird 😭 imagine having to walk around the bath all the time not to mention the chandelier-bath tub deathtrap
This is an informative example to learn from. Nicely done.
Going to different places just to point things out and say "that ain't right" actually sounds like a fun job
Its like a doll house. Just for play😂
That's one tacky home.
To each his own lol
That's the word I was looking for. Even without the defects, it's ugly.
Rightt that bathroom looks like it was just slapped together by someone with no spacial reasoning... Where is the towel rack and where are you gonna put a bath mat without it looking tacky so you don't slip and hurt yourself 🤦♀️
You know....the floor tile should have been set diagonally. Also....that chandelier, as cheap as it was, should have been replaced with a better one....and moved to a better location!
That tub should have been set widthwise (is that an actual word?!), as opposed to the middle of the floor in the position that it is in.
Cabinet doors should have been repaired (they look off track), with two layers primer, new handle applied (safety), waterproof sealer
Toilet needs bolt tightening and new wax ring......
@MarisaFrasure that hall shouldn't be a bathroom in the first place. Just look at it: it has THREE ENTRANCES, it's the central hub of the home!
Why is there a chandelier directly above the tub in the 1st place???
So thankful for my inspector. When I bought my condo he told me the problems I would need to fix immediately, those to save up for, and the areas I didn’t have to worry about. 😊
That ``Lucy Gucci`` dance got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They will not like me when I buy my next house all this stuff can be used somehow sometimes
I want to do home inspection so I can point out all the flaws and get paid for it Lol
Go for it!
Guess I'm not normal cause I spent the whole video asking why the fuck someone would put a tub in the middle of the room
That chandelier is something straight out of Final Destination
It's still beautifull, and I still love it. The room is pretty cool too.
The nintendo 64
007 song 🎵 lol
Really shoddy work for such a refined space.
I saw the chandelier before he said something and I'm not even trained. That seems dangerous.
Dangerous why?
@@MrModTwelveFoot A sniper can shoot the string, causing the chandelier to fall on you to make it look like it was an accident.
About that chandelier over the tub, I imagine it went down like this...
Interior designer: How do you want your bathroom to look like?
Owner: Ever heard of The Sword Of Damocles?
Interior designer: Say no more fam
i love the goldeneye music to top it off 😂it pays to look at the details when inspecting a new living space! i took a cursory glance of my first apartment, and while it's okay- there's definitely a bunch of shoddy quick fixes that i'm wishing i noticed sooner.
"What normal people see vs what inspector sees...what inspector sees."
*Immediately shows what normal people see because they are obvious problems*
Right? Like aside from maybe the chandelier all of those are obvious. Most anyone would notice a bulb not lighting, a toilet being loose, cracks in the door and doors rubbing.
Code inspectors get w bad wrap.. like cops; they dont make the rules... However most code inspectors act like the shit cops w the ego issue. I have a strong disliking for the people that make the dumb rules.
It still does not make the rules wrong.
@@evil-linn1371 sometimes they are tho.
How my mom thinks the visitors will act like
I grew up working with my da doing remodeling work and the door rub gave me PTSD chills lol
You know that kid that when in a museum wants to touch on everything... That's the sign of a good inspector. 😂
