Inspecting houses is dirty and tough business. On occasion one must slog through nasty, damp crawl spaces or traverse through an attic hotter than Hades while slashing through spider webs thicker than the Spanish moss draped on cypress trees. Some days it's raining in buckets or colder than the Artic tundra. Every once in a while you pull up to the house on a clear spring morning and you just can't help but smile.

Enjoy the day, whether it's hot cold or in between. We only get so many.
