The Drunken Inspector

We had a termite inspection on a beautiful lake-side home my client is purchasing in Wellington FL, and the inspector ruffled my feathers a bit.

First off, when he greeted me, the alcohol smell on his breath almost blew me away. For those that think you can have a drink with lunch and no on will be the wiser, think again. Don’t come around my nose with your smelly alcohol breath!

Next, he proceeded to tell me he found a subterranean termite egg in the stucco of the house, which, I might add, he had been picking at with his handy screw driver and making holes in the exterior stucco. After further investigation, he determined it was a sunflower seed, not a termite egg after all!

Wait, it gets better! Now he is on his hands and knees looking at dead knats on the floor (you know, they gather around windows and doors if no one is around to sweep them out). He was telling me that they are definitely termites, but then he says that he really needed his GLASSES on to make sure.

I called a new termite inspector the minute he left, and called the guy's manager. I’m not usually like that-I believe in karma-things have a way of coming back around. But to come to a job site with alcohol on your breath, making obvious mistakes, and then telling me to have a great day, was about all I could take!

I won’t mention the name of the company here but I am not willing to take a liability like that on, it was a total waste of my time and my clients money! And you can bet I won’t be referring that company out!
