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.
