“The Holmes Inspection”, by Mike Holmes

Holmes, Mike. The Holmes Inspection: Evrything You Need to Know before You Buy or Sell Your Home. Toronto, ON: HarperCollins, 2008. Print.

Another impulse pick off the library shelves, which was an interesting read but not ultimately useful for me personally.  Mike Holmes definitely has a bone to pick with the home inspection industry, and his rants about qualifications, certifications, and exclusions might be totally true, but aren’t very helpful if you’re a home-buyer trying not to buy a house that will have major problems.

Lots of good checklists of what to ask about when you do get your home inspected.
