I was 'tested' today on my knowledge of plumbing. It seems the buyers brother had to be at the home inspection. This is counter-productive for all parties involved. I am not a plumber, nor do I wish to be one. I have plumbed entire bathrooms, and kitchens, and installed complete waste ejector systems (involving plumbing, electrical, and concrete work), as I have worked in the construction fields.

To bring in an expert to contest and hinder the home inspector wastes valuable time, and I resented being quizzed, although from the lack of retort, I must have passed the brothers' test.

In the future, I will refuse all of these games, and will not be quizzed. This is more than an insult, and it served no purpose but to cause grief and disagreement, as well as make one late to ones next appointment.

Realtors, please let your clients know they, and they alone, should attend the inspection, and not bring an entourage, or an expert panel. Inspection is not a game show like "Who wants to be a millionaire" or "Are you smarter than a retired plumber" - Ray
