home inspections houston: An Inconvenient Burglary - 03/05/08 12:09 PM
The house had a Supra box on it, so I obtain the key to go inside. I had already been walking around the property, and I had walked the roof. Several neighbors watched my antics with mild curiosity. As I enter the house, a loud alarm breaks forth. I am the center of attention. I grin broadly and wave ecstatically at the neighbors. I walk over to the service panel (breaker box) to trip the circuit for the alarm. You want find anything to steal in there honey; it's a foreclosure! Says an elderly resident.

home inspections houston: No, No No, Thank You! - 03/03/08 08:14 AM
This can be considered a throw away post, but I thought someone might find it useful. On Saturday, I had an inspection for a Vietnamese client. After we had finished going over the report, I said thank you in Vietnamese, and she smiled broadly. How did you know to say that?! She exclaimed. My son and I will always ask people how to say thank you in their native tongue, and we try to remember it then. We are not always successful (Turkish has two forms for our thank you, and I still do not remember either one), but it is … (12 comments)

I wrote a post for my blog listed under the links here of touring African American history and culture in Houston, which has been a popular post.

home inspections houston: Striking up conversations on the job - 02/29/08 11:26 PM
Active neighborhoods undergo active changes. You can see old friends, but you can quickly miss the departed. I discovered that a nice little cafe in the River Oaks area of town has closed down, to be replaced by an interior design firm. The change occurred over the course of one month. I have been busy of late, so I did not wander about this section of town as much as I have wanted. These changes caused me to linger on the streets, before entering the home, which I was scheduled to inspect.
I like driving through a neighborhood to get a … (0 comments)

home inspections houston: Do you Graze in your Neighborhood? - 02/26/08 11:57 PM
My son comes back from a walk through our subdivision with two grapefruits in hand. They were hanging over the fence he protested. They had a lot, and they were not picking them. Lately I have been flooded with citrus from different friends who have more than they know what to do with. I planted my citrus trees last year, so they are not producing yet, and these fresh fruits are a great treat.
On another walk, my son notices that swiss chard has been planted in the front beds for an office building. Should we have some chard for dinner? … (4 comments)
