Darnit. I thought you were serious and I spent the last 6 hours trying to figure out how to get some pixie dust to add to the program!! I caught Tinker Bell about half an hour ago but I guess I'll let her go now

No, I found her running around Hollywood. Although that's not far from the house Keith inspected, so maybe she was there too.

HIP is the way to go, clean report, easy to use,learning curve is small and with Dom the support is the best you will find.

I have tried several report writers. I use my own. Most are too intricate for a client to understand. Takes me about 30 minutes to write up any inspection, and another 12 minutes to print out three copies. My report is about 18 to 24 pages long, and contains several paragraphs/verbage for litigation protection. See Dr. Swift's Inspect and Protect. A must read.

Gary, most of the software out there today is completely customizable. There really shouldn't be anything that's too difficult to read as you can customize all the text in the most of the software programs to match whatever you want (including your own report).
