Why would you want a 436-page book of home inspection stories? As one Amazon reviewer wrote: "You might think a book on home inspections would be boring, but Lisa made this a fun read. I liked the part on Crawlspace Surprises. The book is actually a grouping of many short articles from Lisa's newspaper column - each article is about 1-2 pages. The table of contents and index will help you find what you want so you can quickly find articles about each topic." Here are just a few more of the topics that Lisa covers: Top six myths about home inspections Mistakes to avoid when building your custom home What is a Tiny Home and is it right for you?

Writer's Digest on House Keys: "The book is very well organized by topic and subtopic. You have created an incredibly useful guide that can either be read cover to cover or used as a reference. I enjoyed your approachable writing style and appreciated how clearly you explained all of the terminology and concepts you discussed. Excellent job. . .
