Doing a Home Inspection / Walkthrough - Any suggestions?

Watch 'Holmes on Homes' on the Discovery Home network. He points out and fixes common problems caused by shoddy contracting work. Lots of good info to educate yourself about.

Also turn on the stove and oven and check the vent fan. Flush all the toilets for good water pressure while sinks and showers are on. If you have a gas/electric fireplace turn it on. If it is wood burning have the inspectors check the chimney and the cap to make sure animals cannot enter.

Spaces between hardwood floor planks--hmmmm, doesn't sound right to me.

You are right to be extra careful, especially with a new build. Congrats on the new house.
