Strange Problems in Properties

[Bryan Casteel]

What are some of the stranger problems you have run into when inspecting or fixing or just owning a property?

The strangest one I have run into yet was finding a 10' x 10' x 2' pool of human waste under the dining room floor. It was disgusting. The "spill" had been there for years and had rotted the floor joists completely out. When we opened up the floor and figured out what it was, we freaked. In the end it turned out OK ($5,000 later), but there was a lot of sweat poured over what we were going to have to do.
