Just a little test to see if you know anything about plumbing. 
This is in an area with no code enforcement so the banks hire their own inspectors before writing a mortgage. The real estate inspector put "no plumbing problems of note" in his report. Two banks declined to write mortgages because of problems their inspectors saw with the plumbing. Finally the county inspector was called in to settle the argument. He condemned the plumbing system and pulled the certificate of occupancy. :icon_mrgreen:
Can any one explain what the owners were thinking? Has anyone encountered anything close to this?
