    Does it get good airflow?
    What type of heating and cooling is there?
    Is the general layout of the house something that works for you? Remodels are very expensive.
    Is there good privacy from nosey neighbors (assume the worst as you'll never regret privacy).
    If cars other than the realtor and people touring are parked outside that's a flag that your neighbors will be parking in front of your house and there's nothing you can do.
    How close is it to the freeway both for noise and convenience.
    How well has the home been maintained - does it look old? As the guts will be worse if the facade is bad.
    Is the property sloped? If so, towards our away from the house? What grade? This will affect gardening and letting kids or dogs out to play, especially if it shows and ices over on a hill...
    What condition are the rest of the houses in the neighborhood?
    If there's undeveloped land next door, who owns it will give you an idea of potential for development.
    Look up city ordinances for the area - and if it's a corner house make sure you check the fence restrictions as where we used to live they changed the code after we started building our 6' fence - any new fences were limited to 3' tall for corner lots. This won't be an issue for a home with an existing fence until you have to replace it.
    Good luck!

    Thank you for that explanation - that's very good to know that people's lives aren't being put at risk. I still wish they would mandate minimal access across the board with a set time frame as it seems like from what you're saying, the OSHA guidelines just say "reasonable" which is very vague and your link doesn't seem to even reference a "reasonable" access/time frame.

    My concern is that only the following are listed:
    1910.141(b)(1)(i)
    Potable water shall be provided in all places of employment, for drinking, washing of the person, cooking, washing of foods, washing of cooking or eating utensils, washing of food preparation or processing premises, and personal service rooms.
    1910.141(b)(1)(iii)
    Portable drinking water dispensers shall be designed, constructed, and serviced so that sanitary conditions are maintained, shall be capable of being closed, and shall be equipped with a tap.

    This leaves a lot of room for them to provide water but say in the building and the farm workers have to walk 20 min back to the building and not have time to actually drink them. But I'll have hope that you're right and that people will do the right thing.

    But then again we are living in a reality where Texas just passed a bill making it illegal to require employers to provide workers a break for water.
