None of the above observations are acceptable to include in a home inspection report. Since you are not performing a "technically exhaustive" inspection, you cannot state with certainty that the home is structurally sound. Only a structural engineer can make that statement. You have no way of knowing how long a roof will last. Your report can indicate the average life of a roof and when the existing roof was installed. There is no way you can know the electrical system is safe because you are only evaluating observable components of the system.
