[QUOTE="over9five, post: 862620, member: 1401"] A prospective buyer had a home inspection done on my house. Check out this issue: Over 20 years ago, when we built the house we were young and were running out of money. We cut some things we couldn't afford, like the garage under. Thinking ahead, I still had the builder leave a foundation opening for a future garage door, and we simply boarded up the opening. Couple years later, I opened it up and installed a garage door. BUTTTTTTT according to code, a garage under must have firewalls. Oops! I never installed any walls. The garage door just opened into the whole basement. I'm thinking my cheapest option is to re-boardup the opening. After it passes inspection, the new owner can do what he pleases. [/QUOTE]
