Diehl Killerz ~ Episode 2 ~ Goin' to Pot...  
     The more inspections I do, the more silly stuff I seem to find. I recently had the opportunity to inspect a property that had been inspected by another company. Sadly, the deal fell through because of the report.
     So what killed the deal? Sometimes, home owners and "tradesmen" do not follow acceptable or best trade practices when making repairs. Items get put in the report, buyers and sellers dig in their heels and refuse to budge, an easy repair gets blown out of proportion and the deal heads south.
     In this episode, Big Diehl and Flubber discuss simple "handyman" repairs that often lead to big problems...

Michael, I've seen a few dumb make shift repairs in crawl spaces and that certainly rates as one of the dumber ones.

I think you guys are on your way to The Hall of Fame. The rocket ship made the video. You bet, it's not rocket science if only folks would use a little common sense.

Looking forward to #3.

Great job.  Mandy and I will be starting a GREEN video a month campaign.  I am sure it will not be as creative as you and Flubber but we will be giving it a try.  Thanks for all you do to encourage and educate us.

Michael, the inspection can get out of hand unless the adults in the transaction behave properly. Common sense practiced without restrictions can make everything flow smoothly

Big Diehl, a quick fix like this would be sure to raise some question about what unseen "repairs" may be lurking beyond the walls, floors and ceilings.  Another fabulous episode, thanks!
