AHI in AR Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Did you notice that he is selling "MPG caps" and "MPG Crumbs" to enhance the fuel economy of your car? Silly me, I should have thought of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozofprev Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Is there a bandwagon he hasn't jumped? His websites (http://www.castrillohomeservice.com is another one) are deplorable - colors, grammar, spelling, scare tactics and meaningless certs. I don't know how the Castrillo name figures into things. Unfortunately, he is the perfect candidate for making a million$$$$. Maybe he's good. He's surely scary!

Terence McCann Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Damn it - I was just going to claim the title of "Americas Favorite Inspector" on my web site. Looks like I'm just going to have to pull out all the stops and become - drum roll please - "Americas Most Favorite Inspector". I'd like to see him top that.

davidlord Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 If i'm not mistaken this clown was a presenter at a FABI conf sometime last year down in Ft Lauderdale. Very arrogant and unprofessional. When challanged on several topics he became very defensive. Smoke and mirrors. He was on the schedule for the entire day. At the first break people started bailing and didn't return. I spent the day on South Beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Fabry Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 4.Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel. Don't kill your deal over things that don't matter. It is inappropriate to demand that a seller address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure, or nit-picky items. I'm officially embarrassed to be a home inspector.

hausdok Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Originally posted by sepefrio I now understand.... ...He is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force.... Hey, hey, hey, don't be dissing the Air Force. There's nothing prettier to a ground pounder than a fighter/bomber headed toward the bad guys with a full payload under its wings and belly. The Air Force has nothing to do with it; don't blame them if he's donned kneepads and a bib. Besides, it's fashionable to claim that you're a veteran when you're begging. Walk up to anyone with a cardboard placard on a street corner and ask them and they'll always claim to be a veteran. It's part of the beggars' code. He's just doing what's expected of him by the Beggars Certification Council. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
