Full moon, April 1 or Halloween?

[BARRY ADAIR]

Received a call for an inspection

Caller: Are you a Republican, Democrat or Libertarian?

Me: I don’t see what my political affiliation has to do with inspecting.

But I thought to myself I’ll play along.

Me: What are you?

Caller: Republican

Me: That’s great I have special Republican pricing!

anybody but Hillary. Google it.

You might have something there. I had two wacky calls today. Unfortunately about the only calls I received, but the first guy wants to know if we inspect brick ties on new construction.

Me: Sure if we are doing a phase inspection etc. Are you having a home built.

Caller: No, I just know all these Mexicans are putting these brick walls up with no ties and I know that most of them are illegal. Can you do anything about this.

Me: Uh I am afraid you have the wrong number. I suggest calling your local building department.

Then the next call the guy starts off by saying.

Caller: Do you have a separate contract?

Me: Separate from what?

Caller: The realtors have contracts and I need to know if you have a separate contract.

Me: Why do you want to know?

Caller: I am buying a house and need a home inspector. Can you fax me a copy of the contract.

Me: Sure why not. Do you have any other questions, such as my experience or price?

Caller: No I just need to look at the contract.

I don't know if I want to work for someone that is more concerned about the contract than anything else. Just something in the air today I suppose.
