I am in the process of developing my own check list as you suggested since I think that would also help me stick to a routine. as far as the reporting, I like what you were mentioning about your system. what system are you using?

I am still in the process of shopping around for my reporting software. I am looking at Home Inspections, Inc as well as Home Inspection Software and Reports - HomeGauge. at this point home guage is a bit out of my price range for starting up so I am leaning towards the Home Inspections, Inc software. it seems pretty straight forward from what I was able to see. I have yet to actually generate a report from this site. this is what I plan to use on my next inspection
