		<title>Nothing is really free!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is anything in life really free? I believe the answer to that is very few things.  A perfect example is the last two &#8220;Termite&#8221; inspections I witnessed. Both were free to the home buyer, both found no active termites but some evidence of past termites and both sold termite treatments to the homeowners before [...]]]></description>

		<title>If it drips, don&#8217;t touch it or inspect the pools last!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a hot summer day early in my career as a home inspector. I was inspecting a pool pump at a nice home on a golf course. The pump and filter were on a small concrete pad that was completely surrounded by a low fence and there was a small puddle of water on [...]]]></description>
