Scottpat Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I have been swamped for the past 3 weeks, as of right now I have nothing on the schedule for next week except for the yard! But, I usually get several calls and bookings on Monday and Tuesday from folks looking at homes over the weekend. We shall see...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence McCann Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 you just jinxed the whole thing. we are all screwed now. thanks alot Well then, let's drink a lot of Cognac and have a few good Cuban cigars. Actually I do have a nice Cuban (cigar) but I just can't find the right time/reason to enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlord Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Been stupid busy here since about last Oct. 152 inspections from Jan 1 through today. Going to Jamaica this Thursday with my bride of 23 years to celebrate our anniversary. Plan on having a few Monticristo "A" while there.

Richard Moore Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Love Jamaica. I spent a total of 6 weeks in 1979 staying with friends in Montego Bay. It included my first Christmas dinner in shorts (seemed odd at the time). I have only vague memories of smoking a lot of something there, but I'm fairly sure it wasn't cigars. About the only thing I envy about you guys on the east coast is your easy (short) access to the various Caribbean islands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Booked right up until I have to leave for Chi Town on the 5th and I've already booked three jobs for after the 9th of May. Been swamped for the past year. Everything seemed to have busted loose around April '09 after a dismal post election day period. Over the past three weeks, I've referred 3 times as many jobs to some other local guys as I've taken in. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

My uncle is deaf, so I grew up learning sign. He's part of this group on FB. He wanted me to join, but I told him I don't trust deaf people. We bust each other's balls a lot. LOL At the very least, It's free advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I don't care for them deaf folk myself. They're always a pain in the neck, can't understand anything when you talk to them.[] Seriously, I don't join online social networks. They are the main vehicle used by hackers to propagate their 'inventions'. Appreciate your comments anyway Gary. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJinspector Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I've been slammed as well. Monday and Tuesday is the first time i'm trying three inspections per day. Gonna' make for a couple late nights of report writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspector57 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 It's been variable for me for the last month, some good weeks with some dogs thrown in between. Then the phone started ringing Thursday and I am booked solid for this next week. We'll see how it does after the 30th.[:-magnify Here's hoping the "recovery" outlasts the tax credit.[:-thumbu] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emalernee Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Today, while looking on the internet for directions to a REO inspection, I came across a report that stated the foreclosures were up 19% in March over February and 9% over last March. They also predicted 2010 would see more foreclosures then 2009. The bubble that we have been in, in the last couple of week (caused by government money), may be about to burst. Just thought I would try and burst some bubbles. Have a nice week. Ezra Malernee Canton, Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 My guess is that things in Boston are going to come to a screeching halt when the tax credit expires, but we're all as busy as we can be right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlord Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I really don't think the tax credit is driving the market in my area. Sure its a bonus but the low prices are the cataylist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Food, shelter, clothing, .........iPod...... Folks gotta have housing, they're figuring out the realtor sucker punch from the blowout, who ya gonna call? Home Inspectors! Rates are going to go up, not by much, but we all know they're going up. Inflation will follow, as it always does. Lottsa folks want to get in the house now, not later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom TIJ is more technical than social, wouldn't you agree? Membership is mostly by home inspectors and we're not here to meet and try to date each other. The forum software is from a different category also, in use by many other professions. At least I haven't yet heard of hackers using small forums such as this one to spread viruses.

I believe it has more to do with real estate networking. Did you look at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHI Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I hear ya Ezra. I've been completely buried for two months. However the start of May is very slow. I was wondering how things would change after the money dried up. Could be an interesting month or remainder of the year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
