Have you ever tried relentlessly to get a fire started, but the object of your desire just wouldn't cooperate? Both sides of this deal were ready, willing, and thought they were able to perform, but there was an equipment failure that just made things difficult.
Before you get a different idea, this is a post about home inspection results, but I thought the title might give a mundane topic the little 'spark' it deserves!
Having a dream of a listing in great shape with a quick offer on it, I didn't really worry about what kinks a home inspection might cause for my seller. The only item the buyer asked for remediation was for the 'non working' gas log fireplace to be in working order before closing. The seller tried and tried to get the switch to light the logs, but to no avail. After hiring a repairman to check out the unit, the cause of failure was found to be, you guessed it... the 2 D batteries found in the starter were dead and needed replacing.
I never knew that gas log fireplaces might have batteries, so it didn't occur to me to have the seller check for this one easy solution. With the seller paying a $60 service call, I thought to pass along this little known tidbit to others.
