Should new homes be inspected, or should you trust that the city building inspector did enough when he said the house met the minimum building code? Do home inspectors inspect for building code violations? What should be done with the list of repairs for the property that the home inspector reports? How much should a home inspection Cost what services should be included beyond a basic home inspection checklist. What tools should you expect a trusted home inspection expert to bring to the property inspection? Can a home inspector do a complete home inspection without using an infrared camera?

Is there a home inspection mindset that leads to peace of mind during and after the inspection of the house and property? Who is this book NOT for?

Don't worry about family dinner. Let your kids pick their punishments. Ditch the sex talk. Cancel date night. These are just a few of the surprising innovations in this bold first-of-its-kind playbook for today's families. Bestselling author and New York Times family columnist Bruce Feiler found himself squeezed between caring for aging parents and raising his children. So he set out on a three-year journey to find the smartest solutions and the most cutting-edge research about families. Instead of the usual family "experts," he sought out the most creative minds—from Silicon Valley to the set of Modern Family, from the country's top negotiators to the Green Berets—and asked them what team-building exercises and problem-solving techniques they use with their families. Feiler then tested these ideas with his wife and kids. The result is a fun, original look at how families can draw closer together, complete with 200 never-before-seen best practices. Feiler's life-changing discoveries include a radical plan to reshape your family in twenty minutes a week, Warren Buffett's guide for setting an allowance, and the Harvard handbook for resolving conflict.
