#1. Repair dry-rotted floor joists.
While inspecting the crawlspace, the inspector found a couple of floor joists that have dry-rotted and need to be replaced. Its a fairly easy repair, but an important one.
The inspector also noted some mold and fungus under the house while inspecting the crawlspace. It looks like some measures have been taken to improve the poor water drainage around the house, but the mold and fungus have not been dealt with.
#3. Have HVAC unit serviced.
The air wasn't cooling as efficiently as it should have, which is probably becuase the house has been vacant for over a year.
#4. Replace deteriorating wire going to garage.
The wiring from the house to the garage wasn't made for exposure to the elements and needs to be replaced with the appropriate outdoor electrical wiring.
The sources from which I used the images all have great information regarding these common home issues.
