I heard a story recently about a group of law students who are sueing their law schools for not getting them the job placement they where promised. Talk about tigers eating their young.

Someone had turned off the breaker and valve to the dishwasher. It's working fine now.
The "major" issue with the fridge was quite interesting. My client had removed the water line that runs to the fridge and replaced it during his remodel. He then re- used the line at his old house; there was an issue with the recycled line, and he flooded the kitchen in the old house.

Who said it's resolved? The clients still say you're a dickhead for, well for whatever it was you missed. They know you missed it and even if they never find it, they'll tell all their friends you're a dickhead.

Well, you walk in wondering what you're going to find and you walk out wondering what you didn't find.
I can only wish that the worst thing that happens is someone telling a few folks I'm a dickhead.

Brandon, That client would never see me, or mine, again. You did the right thing, now don't invite more grief!

If it's optional it isn't enforceable. If both parties agree to it, it's no longer optional.
Your re-inspection should have it's own agreement, or at a minimum be an addendum to the original. This guy needs limits if you choose not to fire him.

That will be a loss- you're bright and eager. Congratulations?

Agree with what Chad noted ... best of luck in the consideration and ultimate decision.
I can't even get an offer from WalMart, Sams or the big boxes. Too old and stubborn I guess. Not to forget more than slightly opinionated !!!
