I’m starting to write a book called, “Confessions Of A Home Inspector”. I’ve seen so many weird things in the homes I’ve inspected that I wanted to share them. I don’t know if it will ever get published but I thought I would write it anyway. I’m writing it in the style of “The Help”. In the first chapter I’m including short stories of what I’ve experienced in houses. The second chapter is a compilation of funny quotes I’ve heard clients or homeowners say. One example of a quote I’ve included is, “The attic access - oh I think its in the basement!”
I’ve only been inspecting for 4 years and I don’t have enough to fill up an entire book so I’d love to get stories from some of you guys as well if you are interested in contributing. Add them here or message me. I’m pretty excited about this project!
We’ll sell it for you on www.InspectorOutlet.com One thing you can do is let us sell it as a PDF at first. We do that first with most of the books we release.
Someday I’ll have to write about the underground grow room I saw today, completely hidden entrance behind a wood paneled wall! It’s own 200 amp panel and ducting system. All in a nice rural McMansion with a pool. What a freak show.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the pet alligator! :o
The way I see it, if I have submissions from all over North America I can keep the stories vague enough that the location (and specific details) won’t be known. The house may be down the street or on the other side of the continent. No names or locations would be used.
