Here's something to look at if you have time to waste: A photo gallery [fixed] of some amazing things discovered by a home inspector. My buddy Mike D. told me about the site (thanks, Mike) and said, "I especially like the people who used an old car radiator to heat their house, and the guy who put a light switch in the shower."
Update: If the link above fails, head for the main page and type Inspection Nightmares into the search field.
Swell -- a light switch in the shower...
Powerstrip and extension hell
The link doesn't seem to work...can somebody repost it?
