Back in June, I wrote an entry about the need for Kickout Flashing. 

Last month I inspected a two year old home that had all of the kickouts installed incorrectly. During the negotiations, the seller contacted the builder about the issue. He, in turn, contacted me. He went out and inspected the site for himself and found that every home in the 100+ unit gated community had been built incorrectly... He has since repaired the first home and is generating a plan to repair every home in the neighborhood. 

Yesterday, I re-inspected the original home. While I was there, the next door neighbor came out to thank me for pointing out this discrepancy and her home was going to be repaired next week.  

Hello again everyone.
It has been a busy few weeks since my last entry. Not just with inspections, but with meetings and some awesome personal time , as well.

One meeting was the Central Florida chapter of the Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals (VAREP) . The mission of the VAREP is "increasing sustainable homeownership, financial-literacy education, VA loan awareness, and economic opportunity for the active-military and veteran communities" It was a productive meeting and we are exploring ways that we can better help our Central Florida Vets. 


Another was the annual Affiliate Trade Show for the Realtors Assoc. of Lake and Sumter Counties. The picture is from the event. I am explaining how High Resolution Infra Red works and how it drastically increases the value of a professional home inspection. 


In the middle of all of that, I was able to take some time to go see my Son and Daughter in Law in Ohio, go to Jacksonville to my Grand-Daughter's birthday party, and a short trip to North Carolina to ride the motorcycle on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the fall colors. Like I said, it was a busy month.
