Trust your girlfriend.
You got that right!! LOL "She who is wiser than me"
As far as mentoring this young man, I absolutely look forward to the opportunity. I completely agree with you, and well stated. That's why I love this Website!!
However, my business partner has been an inspector in these parts for 12 years now, and his only competition and been this joker. He wants to retire and give me his established business.
To illustrate the lack of integrity of the notorious inspector:
He lately did 22 inspections in one day post-flood that you probably heard about on the news last July. How can one do 22 in one day and do a thorough inspection?
I don't mind eliminating competition that is incompetent.
We are likely to pursue a formal complaint on this one.
