Default Holmes

Did anyone else see that Holmes came out with a Magazine. I think he is trying to take over for Bob Villa

I watched about 15 minutes of that show last week because it was called Holmes Inspection.
All I saw was remodeling work.
Why is it called Inspection?

Holmes Inspection is supposed to be about home inspections
All I saw in the last episode was a contractor pull out a thermal camera then bring in his construction crew to fix a cold kitchen.

I also keep hearing the same line out of Holmes
"I didn't see that in the report"

No kidding John. Hey the floor seems cold. Let's rip the floor up and see why.....

Of course that is after the nitwit couldn't find the crawlspace access under an appliance. He didn't even look. What a jackwad.

If I remember that episode, the inspection had been done in the summer.........so much for the IR imager finding the "cold floor in the winter" then......but even so, he did run the HI down! He's a dilittante!!

ASHI is seeking his endorsement. Their president wrote in a recent ASHI Reporter of his admiration and his recent trip to visit this guy to share his love. I suppose this recent "accreditation" of their certification process is still not enough to justify their existence to more than the hard core few who remain as members. They need the endorsement of an actor who plays an inspector on television.

That ASHI article was filler, it said nothing, conveyed nothing. Many ASHI members expressed their dissatisfaction with the article.

He ran the inspector down, and rightfully so, for not mentioning that there was no access to the crawlspace under the kitchen. Access under an appliance doesn't really fit the definition of "readily accessible".

Had further investigation been done prior to purchasing the home, the other issues would have been discovered.
