A good home inspection just like a good blog takes time. A good inspector will systematically poke and prod the systems of the home removing all panel covers, opening all hatches and water closets, crawling into attics and crawl spaces, bringing light to the dark places of the house that go unexposed without an inspection. A good blogger will do the same, bring light to a variety of subjects by poking and prodding those subjects until the truth is exposed.

Limitations on Home Inspection
A Home Inspection has Limitations: The home inspection is a snapshot of the home and its systems on the day of the inspection. The home inspector cannot inspect areas hidden behind drywall and plaster (think fully finished basements and attics). Some areas of the home may be inaccessible or dangerous to get to. It is impossible to predict when a roof will start leaking or a furnace will quite (most likely on a single digit day). A good inspector does the best he can by accessing as many panels, water closets, attics and crawls spaces and running all the major systems to assess the age and condition of the homes major systems.
