Living in squalor....

[Richard A. Hetzel]

Once I was called to talk about adding to a couple's home. When I got there, they showed me a totally empty living room, a totally empty dining room, two totally empty bedrooms, and a master bedroom which had a bed on one wall, and a mountain of clothes piled against the other wall. When we sat down to discuss my services, they let two dogs into the kitchen, ripped open a 25 pound bag of kibbles, and let the dogs have at it. Kibbles flew under the range, under the dishwasher, under the refrigerator and under my feet.

Needless to say, I didn't send them a proposal as I had promised. After about three weeks they called me to ask where my proposal was. I said "gee, I sent it, I don't know what could have happened to it...I'll send another copy." I didn't send that one either.

I think I would have handled that differently .
I would have said ,Sorry I did not get back to you but it might be better
if you where to find some one else to do a propasal for you.
No explanation no telling a fib just refuse and do not get in a discusion.

Drugs, alcoholism, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, mental illness, any combination of these... many things can damage a person so badly that they just don't care anymore or don't understand.

Did you leave some vowels behind? Sorry, Thomas. I know you've heard it before, but I just couldn't resist. Welcome to NACHI on your 14th post.

On the subject of alcoholism, this image was from an appartment I inspected 2 days ago, I wish I had been able to grab a shot of the kitchen, it was literaly covered to a depth of 3 ft in empty Beer cases and cans, my guess was that the tennant doesn't cook often

Hey, Gerry.

Did you ever see the picture of the home gym that I inspected in a professional football player's home?

C'mon Gerry,

Tell the truth. That's your place, when you woke up last Saturday morning.

Gerry,
That looks like the living room at about any college fraternity.
Go Mizzou.

No way Dave, I recycle

The shame of this place that the single occupant was a woman in her 50's, I did the inspection at 10:00am and she was out of it already

Was her name Margarita and did she speak Spanish?

Gerry, I didn't think you'd sink so low as to post a picture of my place, and particularly since you were a guest.
