Default Never Again!

I had my busiest day ever with 5 Inspections, including a last minute bank job 1.5 hrs to the north!
  • 2 Mold inspections
  • 3 IR Inspections
  • $40.00 Parking Ticket
  • $131.25 Speeding Ticket
  • Snow Storm In Orillia and Barrie [coming home]
  • Junk Food for Lunch and Dinner [lucky to even have time for that]
  • Day Started at 6:30AM
  • Did not make it home until 11:30PM
  • Allmost $4000.00 in Inspection fees
When will all this stop? I can't take it anymore!

Recession? What Recession?

Three full inspections a day is my limit. After that I just don't feel that I am giving my clients all they are paying for. I would rather lose the inspection ( and regularly turn them down) than provide a report that is produced by some tired, punch drunk 58 year old phart!!

George,

These are not Home Inspections, they are Mold and IR scans.

BTW I would never attempt 3 Home Inspections in one day, to be honest, I don't know how you do it!

Good inspectors are in demand...no matter what the conditions are that surround them. Way to go, Mario.

Hey Mario, . . . just count your blessings . . . park where you're suppose to . . . and keep that heavy foot off the gas pedal . . . other than that, appears you had a busy day.

Mario,

Don't forget that you still found the time to call me and help me with my question about my upcoming restaurant inspection! You are something else!

You'll have to put on a course at the next convention on how you do these things. I know I'd attend. What a motivator. Why to go.

If you already had 4 inspections, why pull a bank job - you can get 5 to 10 for that
