Properly installed?

Looks like more foil

Yes, electric heaters are allowed but…

Look everywhere!

Wiring in safe condition?

Cigar boxes are not safe for wiring!

Yes, they’re supposed to have one outlet, but…

Yes, another outlet.

If siding is good for outside…not!

Yes, they need a means of washing & drying clothes, but…

Check to make sure the plumbing will work.

Housing free of rodents?

Rat or bird????

Sometimes it’s inside!

Comfortable cot?

Need upstairs exit? Cut a whole in the deck.

Secondary Egress?

What NOT to wear.
