Structure Talk talks about the dreaded C-Word, Code. Should home inspectors even mention code? The gang also discusses some specific questions:

          How do you feel about code as it relates to buying a house?

          Why should home inspectors be very familiar with building codes?

          ASHI says that home inspectors should report on significantly deficient stuff, how would you define that?

          Are there any negotiations made after an inspection?

          Does the inspector inspect the garage when the garage doesn’t open?

          Could that 90s’ lap siding be a negotiable item?

          What does GFCI stand for? What are its innards? Why does it work?

          How do arc-fault devices and AFCI work? Are these devices needed to meet “code”?
