"Will Wrestle Your Mother-In-Law for a Dollar" read the sign of the man at the end of the 99N offramp.

I couldn't help but smile. Very clever marketing.

But my mother-in-law lives out of town--I should've asked about travel costs.

Anyway he didn't look scrappy enough to take her. :)

Just kidding Ma-In-Law!

Okay maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration. Let me explain...

A lot of laboratories don't like dealing with realtors. Realtors want to close escrow and sometimes call daily for results.

Well, here at Basic Lab, Inc, in Chico, CA we like to get your reports to you fast.

Our standard Present/Absent Colilert test for Total Coliforms and E.Coli bacteria get reported next day guaranteed.

If Nitrate results are required for closing also, we guarantee a 5 day turnaround time (But more often sooner!!)

Some local companies that use us regularly include:

• Quality Water Specialists of Chico, CA
• North State Water Testing of Chico, CA

If you get your domestic well inspection from these companies, we will get them your results fast!

Unfortunately, no escrow billing is available. Sorry if that drops us down as the Most Realtor Friendly lab.

:)

With the school semester coming to an end in the next month, many Chico teachers and students are going to have more free time on their hands. Some of you homeowners may be interested in getting your houses into shape-something you haven't been able to do while you were busy with school.

My wife's sister got a jump start on the maintenance of her home--overachiever that she is-- having already painted her kitchen and living room, and having had her shower and kitchen tiles regrouted.

But what if you don't know where to start? Or know what is most important? What if you suspect your problems are bigger than paint and grout?

It is advised that every 5 years you should check with a professional to see the condition of the systems in your home. Hiring a home inspector for a maintenance inspection is an integral part of a good maintenance program. A home inspector will spot red flags and be able to tell you of the health of your home, safety concerns and potential problems.

You rotate your tires, change your oil, and listen to all the different noises your car makes, to make your other big investment last longer and save money!

Find out the condition of your home today, and get a concise checklist so you can start budgeting and planning. Don't wait until your problems get big and costly. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Call me Today and ask about a maintenance home inspection, especially before it gets too hot!
