TOPIC: Inspection Order

I too will start outside, move inside and then finish with the attic then the crawlspace.  I would like to be able to finish the report onsite, but it still takes me a bit of time so I have been doing them in the evening.  Fortunately (unfortunately) I have not been having more than 1 inspection a day so I have been able to keep things straight.

Like some I have one a day, and John sometimes, despite my earlier post this evening, I have had one per week.  I too follow my HIP software and begin inside with bathrooms.  I am a creature of habit and I don't like to break my routine.  I've done a number of inspections the last couple of months and I like the way I do it; inside, attic, outside and roof, crawl space, and gone.  Report at home. I like the inside first because I'm clean, my clothes are clean and my shoes, if I wear them inside are clean.  Attic because now I'm going to get a little sweatie.  Outside next so I can cool off a bit.  Drink more water and onto the roof for a better view and refreshing air before I dive the crawl space and get absolutely nasty.  Enen though I use an old flight suit, I come out with spider webs on me and I am ready for the sower.  It's easy then for me to pack up the rest of my wreckage (ladders, etc..) and beat feet to KFC for a drive-through ice cream and head on home--mostly it's head directly home.  Hope this helps!

Hmm KFC and Ice Cream, how the heck do you look like a stick?

Go to bed Dominic...

Don't eat KFC and/or ice cream before you do though!

Hmm, should have read that before I did go to sleep. That ice cream at 3am gave me a stomach ache. Good thing KFC isn't 24 hours.

start outside do the exterior, move to the roof when clients pull up, this way if you slip and fall they can dial 911 for you, if there not there DO NOT WALK A ROOF ALONE, then move to kitcjen setup base, fill in roof defects, do the kitchen cuz your there, take your first left find three defects and back to laptop, next room on left 3 defects and continue, next left room and so on till you are back in the kitchen. 2 storey, then it's inspect stairs and take first left, 3 defects back to laptop, and continue till you hit the top of the stairs.
out to get your ladder get the attic done.
into basement and you guessed it start to your left and work around to the stairs.
fill in the defects 3 at a time, this way there freash in your mind and you can recall them clearly.
once completed, slap in that sd card download pics, massage report, print and bada bing bada bang check in hand and report in clients, grab ladder, laptop and woohoo to van.
load it and off to next inspection to do.... see top of [page]
