Default Lending Tree, NOT

They called me today and wanted to know what I charge for an inspection.

Said they needed to find wholesale inspections for their clients and willing to pay a whooping $150.00 for up to 3,000 sq.ft.

I can't get my reply past the server.

Maybe if it was dead and 1985

Duffy,

Costs more than that to think about going to Walmart

Part of an hour with a therapist
Vehicle overhead gas, ins, wear and tear...
Paid protection at the parking lot so vehicle isn't damaged or vandalized
Great deal on a Rolex in the parking lot
Great deal on Viagra in the parking lot
More bling for sale in the parking lot
Finally get to the door and forgot what I'm there for
Back to the house and the cycle starts over again
