Ya mean I’m not alone. And I thought I was overly obsessed with homes.

I think that after awhile it just gets to be a habit.


Kinda like when your driving along and if a female is within a block, you always seem to be able to spot her. ( or so my wife says)![icon_wink.gif](upload://ssT9V5t45yjlgXqiFRXL04eXtqw.gif)

That's one reason why I keep my binoculars out of there case at ALL times.

With permission from all who posted here, I would like to compile this list and submit it for publication in the next IQ. They would make for some good laughs.

That was kinda my plan also.

Was also going to get a top ten signs you are a home inspector list and have some shirts made.



I did this for another company. It was a blast. We gave away the shirts at one of the trade shows and conventions.

Bill,


Now that is funny. I did report a loose outlet in my room, plus non-working push button on one Handicap door.

That's an awesome idea. Maybe sell them and a portion of the proceeds could go to the NACHI foundation or something.

You inspect the condo you rented for the weekend and accidentally break the access cover to the jacuzzi.

Don’t argue with an idiot someone watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Charley,


I've been there several times. The butterflies are worse when they decide to call you two or three months down the road (after they have moved in).

That is a feeling that none of us inspectors relish when you answer the phone and on the other end you hear Mr. ------- you inspected a home for me back in----------. I do not get many of that type but if you are in this business very long it does happen and if there are any inspectors that deny this I just hope their nose does not get very long.
