It is not totally official, yet. It looks like my broker will be coming up with the policy asking us to stay away during the whole house inspection. The wording will be something along the lines of "Go to the home, make sure everyone is there, make any necessary introductions, leave.

This is one time that I am ahead of the game. I really do not think it is my place to attend home inspections.

Do you think otherwise? If you do let me turn it around.

Say you are at a listing appointment but the home inspector is there too.

You are going over your skillfully prepared CMA...halfway through the inspector yells out "hey I've found two breakers in the panel that are double tapped!

Two minutes later the inspector says " looks like the electric sub-panel is wired incorrectly"

As you go over the marketing plan with the seller the inspector butts in "hey, you want me to take some air samples? You may have a mold problem!!"

The client is paying the inspector, let the inspector do his/her job.

If your client really wants you there...go but keep your mouth shut.

With 2 games scheduled at 11:00 AM I go one way my wife goes the other. Just as we back down the driveway at 10:00...on come my wipers. Girls softball already canceled.

Weatherman says last night "a few passing storms, 30% chance of rain, most of the rain will be North of the Metro." yeah right

By 10:15 we are seeking shelter in the dugout. Moderate rainfall...the sky looks like it will be going on for a while. The game is called off...we start calling parents hoping to head them off before they depart.

"Can you come at 1:00 on Sunday? We need to reschedule."

Looks like we can get 10 of 13. Pretty cool...we played one game this year with 8. Then an injury and we are at 7 for one inning.

As we head for the van I recall Charlie Brown saying "Where is everyone going? Are you gonna let a little rain stop us from playing?" "Rats."

2 opens on Sunday...I'm gonna miss my first game. rats

hey the sky is getting lighter...maybe we can get up to the batting cage
