PREFACE: I know there's good and bad in every field (including mine) so don't go there. This is about the bad and YOU know who YOU are! Did you ever just want to slap an idiot upside the head! When I find outlets that nationally recognized safety standards say should be Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected, I always recommend a safety upgrade to my clients. I've taken so much flack from real estate agents about this so many times I've lost count. "Why do you have to bring that up. It didn't have to have it when this house was built so it doesn't have to … (20 comments)

After all, it was only 20 miles (or so) away from where I was for the morning inspection. (I guess that's why I carry fishing gear in the van.) I left my morning … (18 comments)
