its not going to be pretty. Mike is going to try to turn a home inspection into something it was never to be.

He is in it for the money just like everyone else along with his past tv series and new shows coming up.

Mike is a good man and does do a lot of good. But my belief is that he could never stick to a home inspection. He is out to correct the world with his "I know absolutely everything mind fusion" He will be one that will go behind every inspector everywhere and tell the world of their ignorance, lousy work ethics and their pathetic limited knowledge of construction and home inspection.

JMHO

You could be right. Time will tell.

Personally speaking I think the pricing is out of whack with the rest of the industry as is the use of IR and up charge for older homes.
