Re: ROOTS...
Hey Barry,

Brings back a memory of a pine tree on a house I inspected... was visibly picking up footing and slab around 2-3 inches. Had rec'd removal and SE or appropriate contractor follow up.

Buyer called me back a few months later because I missed some things.

I got there and she was so upset because baseboard had pulled away drywall was a mess etc..

When I asked her what she did about the tree and foundation, she commented how expensive it was to do the way I rec'd. The seller said he knew somebody he could refer AFTER the COE and that he would "help out a little bit". She did save some money and simply had the tree removed. House sank a little bit.

Silly inpsector's we are.

Tim
