Jerry Lozier Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Client(s) in Venezuela, longest to date. Can't imagine doing something like this without email. (one hour photo, binder in the mail?? two weeks later??) Report to them same day (last night). He calls me, we go over report line by line. Answer his questions.... Nice n easy.

Erby Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 My longest was Shanghai, China. Said to make sure I called her as soon as the report was available online so she could look at it due to a short time span available. I called her at 3:00 PM, my time. Though that's what she said - Ooooppps, she didn't really want to be called at 3:00 AM in Shanghai. Of course, I had no idea she'd left her home in California and flown to Shanghai. We decided to arrange another discussion time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I inspected a house in Hangzhou, Zheijang Province, and my neighbors apartment in Wuchang District Wuhan. Those were pretty long distance inspections. I did another one for my neighbor who speaks Klingon and imagines himself an intergalactic explorer. Does that count?

Rob Amaral Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 What with the bio-tech around here.. it's not unusual to have clients in France, England and China.. Biogen, Novartis, Amgen, Pfizer, etc.. I had one in Japan last year and after I emailed a descriptive passage afterwards, she replied, "Domo arigato Mr. Robato" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Speaking of the former Empire of Japan.. .check out the up-down controls on this Mitsubishi Slim-jim controller.. Reminds me of when I used to work on my 1967 Honda 305 Superhawk.. The manual was very difficult to decipher..

Erby Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well heck, I forgot about all the military guys and gals from Iraq or Afghanistan or Germany. I guess I don't think of them as long distance, just people from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasden Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 How much can you get for one of those? I worked in South Korea for a few months and had to negotiate a high price to make it worth while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Moore Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 ... I did another one for my neighbor who speaks Klingon and imagines himself an intergalactic explorer. Does that count? LOL. Somehow that just doesn't seem very Klingon or intergalactic explorer-ish. Perhaps I have forgotten the many episodes where Kirk says "Scotty, beam down the home inspector. Let me know when his report is ready and then, maybe, we'll talk about a landing party." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
