While I'm not as slim and debonair as I was thirty years ago, I have put on a little weight after sitting behind a computer all these years.
That's one of the reasons why I maintain a home inspection business -- walking around properties, climbing up into attics, crawling under houses, and sometimes even climbing trees or walking around the neighborhood to get a good view of the roof (after all, I'm not Superman -- LOL) help me lose calories each day so that I can have the requisite margarita when I come home.
Althought I can squeeze through some pretty tight places, sometimes I need to carry my tool bucket with me, and sometimes I don't think the owners want to see me because they make it difficult to get into their homes:
If you're a Seller, you can help sell your home by making it accessible to Buyers, Realtors, and inspectors.
If you're a landlord, check on the condition of your property when you go to sell it.
If you're a Buyer, please understand that I'm not a landscaper or a tree trimmer.

Good morning Russel, you were up late, or early, or something! Zoey the Cool Cat does laundry? Can you send her here? My kitties only lay on clean clothes and dirty them up again.
What were those sellers thinking? What was the realtor thinking? I run across this too much. So many people don't use their front doors, I know I don't. Uh oh, I better go check mine... I haven't seen it in a very long time.
Zoey the Cool Cat owns this place, so she feels free to sit on anything and everything. Well, she doesn't actually own the place, but she thinks she does. She has learned that there are a few places that are out of bounds: the grand piano, the kitchen table, the kitchen countertops, and the top of the refrigerator since that requires her to make a pitstop on the kitchen countertop. If she can jump directly to the top of the refrigerator, then it's all hers.
It's a holiday weekend, and since I took the day off yesterday to have my car detailed, I don't have any reports due today, just a lone condo inspection later this afternoon, so I've been up having fun.
I don't think these people used their front doors since the car was parked in back, and the rear entrance was directly into the kitchen.
What ? no hedge trimmers in your back pocket ? I am sooo disappointed ! Here bushes too close to thenda foundation are also a concern....roots do grow thru cement !
Russel, I'm guessing that since you are doing an inspection there is a buyer that sees potential and isn't afraid of doing a little yard work. Of course you could be doing a pre-listing inspection in which case the seller sees a buyer that sees potential and isn't afraid of doing a little yard work.
