I was inspecting a home in Kankakee, Illinois and while inspecting the roof, I saw something floating in the pool th...

Mild or not, there's still time to check your furnace. Winter has been pretty mild in Bourbonnais, Illinois and all across the mid west this year.

Best of the Worst- my new TV show. It's going to be huge. Filled with all the craziest, wackiest, zaniest, nuttiest, cookiest and of course, stupidest things ever seen in a home inspection. Here are just a few. Hover over the picture for a witty comment. What do you think? I've got a million of t...
