Preparing for a Home Inspection... The Wrong Way

Here's the scenario...

The homeowner's calendar says 9 am - home inspection. "No, problem," he thinks. "I'll just go into work a little late. Maybe about 10 o'clock. After all, how long can a home inspection take? The inspector will walk around and see right away what a great house we have. I'm happy to fix anything he finds"

Two or three hours later, the homeowner is frustrated and angry that the inspector is taking so long and being so picky. "My roof is NOT leaking. Look, do you see any stains in the ceiling. My AC worked fine last summer. What possible damage could a loose toilet do? We don't even use that bathroom. I feel insulted"

And the homeowner's willingness to make repairs becomes diminished by his hurt feelings and unmet expectations.
