Dr. Tiffany is PG

BIG NEWS

Just heard from NYC that Tiffany & Mark are PG. Apparently, the blessed event took place right there in our Lake Wedowee loft over the Fourth of July family gathering. I knew I felt crowded, and now I know why!

40 years ago on the Moon

Exactly 40 years ago, I was pitching a night game near Lake Forest, IL, when the umpire looked at his watch and yelled "TIME OUT". He said we're all going inside to watch the astronauts get out of the lunar lander and walk on the moon.

So both teams took off the spikes, and everybody crowded into the adjacent building and sat on the floor staring at a 13" TV. Walter Cronkite was describing what was going on, then Neil Armstrong got out on that little ladder, said his famous words "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" and jumped down to the surface of the moon. WOW! We were all mezmorized watching Neil walk around on the moon's surface until the umpire yelled "Play Ball", and back we went to finish our ballgame.

I hope you remember where you were that special night.

Foreclosures

Last year , many of the homes I inspected were foreclosures, owned by a bank, aka REO's. This year it seems that the market has turned for me, as I am inspecting more homes that actually have people living in them, their utilities are all on and the whole real estate process seems to be going smoother.

But what really gets under my skin are those foreclosures that don't have their utilities turned on, including water, gas and electricity. I always ask the listing agent if all of the utilities are on, and they quickly say "yup, everything's on". But when I show up, it's dark, water meter locked at the street, gas meter locked at the meter - nothing's on.

Now I can inspect those properties, but the major systems can not be operated, and the Buyer does not get a complete inspection.

So I encourage all Buyers to insist that all utilities be energized and all systems started up BEFORE the home inspector shows up for the inspection.

Thanks for letting me vent, I feel better already.
