I probably will not report any more this month on the number of field requests coming in. Today another 356 from one company, 93 from another, and just a handful of requests from the smaller companies.
I was only able to complete forty-eight inspections today since I worked the rural areas in the south part of the county. Lots and lots of initial inspections were on the route. As I said yesterday, there seems to be no slackening in default notices or proceedings this month.
If you have purchased and read my e-book, you should remember “When the economy is good, this business is good. When the economy is bad, this business is great! “ I have always found this statement correct. Looks like the economy is going bad – or is it just because people are buying Christmas gifts instead of paying their bills?
I am including a few pictures I took for you today. The first picture is whats left of a sheet of plywood that was covering the back door of a utility room at the rear door of a house I inspect every couple of weeks. As you can see, the lock and hasp are still holding.
Â
The picture below is of the back door after entry was gained through the utility room. The door jamb is busted up too bad for the door to close or lock.

And if one is going to go to all this trouble to get into a vacant house, it only makes since to set fire to something and knock a few holes in the sheetrock.

 I will be back tomorrow. (48•7.50)
