George Bernard Shaw said "It is easier to be critical than corect." A noted literary critic, he went on to proove his abilities as an author and playwrite as well. (Remember "My Fair Lady?)

I've been rather strident on the "home inspector' forums, insisting that the electrician is THE expert in this area. It seems unfair to be critical of HI's, and then to withold my expertise from those who need it.

I do agree for the need to have the appropriate E&O insurance. You also need to have a contract clearly stating your limitations, and responsibilities. HO's have disclaimers that make you wonder just what is left to be sold by them!
