30 year home inspector learned something new

Rolla OR Waynesville?

Did you used to go to Zeno’s steakhouse?

Maybe 25 yrs ago went to enter house to do an inspection. Was gonna put on soft slippers as I normally did once inside BUT the agent insisted that sellers were oriental AND we had to go with just socks. I dumbly did and in the clutter in 1 room I ended up with a rusty nail in the foot.

Finished the inspection went to an ER, got a tetanus shot but could not stand on that foot for 4-5 days (lost work). After that it became … SORRY folks I’ll put booties OVER my boots BUT thats as far as I’ll go … Take it or Don’t !!

Can’t tell you how many PINS, NEEDLES, and such I’ve stepped on in the carpeting of little old lady sewing/quilting/craft rooms over the years!!
I also do as you do… I always wear rubber sole, non-marring, Mukluks (slippers), and wear covers when necessary over my slippers.
I’ve had a few Realtors that complained, until I started telling them my Insurance requires my wearing foot protection as part of my PPE Safety Program.
Have never had a complaint since!

We had to remove carpet from an obvious “sewing” room to install some laminate flooring a week or so ago. Pins and needles everywhere.
