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.

Home Inspectors w/o ladders
I saw a guy pull up to a neighbors' house today on the North Shore of Chicago to do an inspection in a Nissan 4-door sedan. He didn't have any ladders. Was he hoping the seller would provide the ladder? How is he going to get a good view of the roof and the flashings at the chimney, dormers, vents and eaves? What happens if the only attic access is a hatch on a 9 foot ceiling? Does he just move on and report that attic is inexcessible? I don't get it. I just don't see how a good, thorough inspection can be done w/o ladders.
