Rick,

The other inspector did have "gender appropriate anatomy" and stood his ground. So far, so good for him. To his detriment, he doesn't take pictures; he's chided me a number of times for the "time I waste" taking and inserting pictures into reports.

It's telling that he left a message with the owner's agent, who didn't think it was important enough at the time he reported the problem to look at it herself or forward the information to the owner.

It's obvious that the dishwasher failed during inspection. It's astounding that more and more owners think we're responsible when it fails, especially when we take more time identifying and addressing the problem then they ever would.
