Y’know, be this as it may, I’m not against testing things in a house you might want to buy. I should’ve done it in my current house — one of the bathroom faucets was toast, the other leaked, the deck was a few trips up and down the steps from coming loose from the house, the front steps were a few good stomps away from crumbling, the mailbox needed to be replaced, the garage door opener only worked intermittently in cold weather (it’s fine in the summer), and so on.

And in my parents’ house, which they bought in 1983, they tested the toilets, and good thing too, because the one in their bathroom overflowed on the second flush and fortunately that was before we moved anything in, so nothing got ruined.

But because it’s Britney — who is indeed a crazy-ass — we treat her like this is something totally crazy, and it’s really not.

Josh.. with you there. Everything, but *everything* in a potential home should be tested before money changes hands (things like shower door catches *cough*, for example).
Britney’s home pool areas were deemed unsafe because of a lack of child-proof fences! This pool has no safety fence!?! Does Britney or, more importantly, the real-estate agent, not understand a simple equation? Children under walking/swimming/understanding age + pool = safety fence?
