Robert Foster with Trebor Home Inspections conducted a very thorough, professional inspection of the home I am buying. He spent a considerable amount of time testing and visually inspecting critical components of the house, and allowed me to follow along while he explained what he was doing each step of the way; he answered every question I asked in a patient and courteous manner. I have confidence that all deficiencies were identified, and that the potential ramifications of each was comprehensively detailed in the written report which Trebor provided me within hours after the inspection was completed. I don’t hesitate in recommending his services.
Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and takes the time to explain things if you want/ask questions. He also reiterates that he is available to you after the inspection process for any questions (which I can certainly vouch for). I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone thinking about buying a home. You want to know what you’re getting into!
I can’t say enough good things about Robert’s inspection. He is extremely detailed, very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful in pointing out issues, both those that can be modified and those that cannot. He focuses attention on aspects of the house that will require ongoing maintenance as well as changes that can alert one to problems that are brewing. His report was extremely helpful and I will print it out and keep it in a binder for future reference. I have had houses inspected in the past and I have never had such a helpful inspection done before.
This is the second time I have hired Robert Foster for a home inspection, and the experience both times was fantastic. He did a very thorough inspection, and the report was uploaded quickly and was easy to read. The best part was that I learned so much about what I was getting myself into with each house–but I also learned so much about houses in general. Robert is extremely knowledgeable and eager to answer questions, and he took the time to look in every nook and cranny, even to the very far corners of the crawlspace. I would (and do) highly recommend hiring Robert.
Robert Foster is the best home inspector we’ve worked with! He is incredibly thorough and took the time to make sure we understood everything in the report.
Robert Foster did a fantastic job. He was extremely careful and thorough. It’s helpful that he distinguishes between different types of comments, too — issues that should be taken into account in the purchase versus normal maintenance issues.
We’ve used four house inspectors in our home buying time. Robert definitely one of the best. He’s thorough, and uses technology extremely well to communicate and provide evidence for the issues he discovers. This helps make the point to buyers. This includes images of the problems, video (audio — “hear that popping sound, that’s not good”) and links to web articles that explain technical elements we weren’t familiar with. No equivocation — hire Robert for your inspector.
Robert was thorough, helpful, friendly, and quick – we really enjoyed working with him!
I wouldn’t use anyone else other than Robert. He is absolutely the best. Smart, knowledgeable, thorough — and I really appreciate the detailed, easy-to-access online report . Thanks!
Robert did an outstanding job inspecting our property. He is extremely thorough in his examination and assessment of structural integrity, construction features and basic operating functions. While onsite, he takes the time to explain his approach and review his findings in great detail. The report he produces is also quite comprehensive and compiled in a way that is both easy to understand and quite helpful in identifying issues in need of more immediate attention and remediation. Moving to a new place can be a very stressful experience – especially when relocating to another state, as is the case with our family. Robert’s professionalism, knowledge and expertise provided us with more than enough information we needed to feel more confident about our purchase decision, while offering insights that allowed us to become better acquainted and more comfortable with our new home. We highly recommend him when only the best will suffice for your next inspection project.
Robert is personable, thorough, and experienced, and knows the community well, which was great for me as someone moving to town. Follows through, reports are ready when promised. Couldn’t ask for more.
I was very impressed by Robert’s thorough inspection and great communication. He came to me strongly recommended by friends, and I have no regrets! He was in touch before, during, and after the inspection, and went above and beyond. During the inspection, he took the time to notice even the tiniest of details. Instead of simply pointing out any deficiencies he noted, Robert also took the time to answer my questions, educate me about the different features in the home, and give me tips on how to plan for future maintenance and improvements. I appreciated his detailed and color-coded written report, which made it very easy to understand the state of the house and how best to prioritize repairs/remediations. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a thorough and honest inspection!
Highly recommended! Robert was extremely knowledgable, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process, which I especially appreciate as a first time homebuyer. The report was easy to read and informative – the color coding and accompanying videos were great. Thank you, Robert!
This is my fifth home purchase and inspection and I would rank my experience with Robert as #1. He’s very thorough and professional and easily communicates what he’s looking for as well as any discrepancies he finds. His report is equally thorough and descriptive. In addition, he promptly responded to any email questions we had. I would give my Robert my strongest possible recommendation for anyone requiring a home inspection.
Robert is very knowledgeable and did a great job putting his findings in layman’s terms for me. His report — color-coded and detailed — is something we’ll be referring to often as we make our move. 10/10.
This was our 3rd experience buying a home. Robert’s inspection report was by far the most thorough we have ever received. We are buying this house while stationed overseas, so have not personally ever set foot in it. Robert’s report, with its extensive photos and written information, gave us confidence to go through with the deal. We were able to use the report to very clearly show to the sellers where and why we requested some small repairs. Thanks to his diligence and professionalism, we are making a fully-informed purchase, despite being thousands of miles away. Should we ever buy another house, we would turn to him again.
Robert was incredibly informative during this inspection, and we have full confidence in our home purchase as a result of his very thorough assessment. He lists his reports with super helpful categories beyond the typical green, yellow or red issues that come up upon a new purchase – as Robert is intent on preparing his clients for *owning* and living in the home rather than just buying it. He is patient with both novice and experts, and takes the time to explain anything he observes. If I could advise a new homebuyer on anything, it would be to stay close to Robert while you all walk through your new home – yes, the whole time – as you will undoubtedly learn much about how your home is built and how to take care of it most optimally.
Robert is extraordinarily thorough and knowledgeable about every issue relating to inspecting a home. He walked us through every item he found and answered our questions thoughtfully. The report is well arranged and really useful both during the purchase process and will serve as a start to an “owner’s manual” in our new home. He is also very professional and helpful. We definitely recommend Robert to inspect your purchased home.
We benefitted from Robert’s deep knowledge of building science, thorough and organized inspection, and capacity to translate his findings into a clear, actionable report that we’ll be able to use as a reference tool during ownership. He was personable, happy to explain his findings, and open to follow-up questions. We consider this one of the best investments we’ve made in our new home. Recommended without reservation.
Robert not only squeezed in a last-minute home inspection for us, but he conducted it with the utmost kindness, honesty and thoroughness. He talked us through all of the potential issues while we went, so that some of what could have seemed scary became more innocuous, and he answered all of our questions with great patience. His report was promptly sent and easy to read, and we just can’t recommend Trebor Home Inspections enough!
Robert did an incredible job; he was very thorough and knowledgeable! I’d highly recommend him to anyone!
We are new to the Charlottesville, VA, area and had no clue which home inspector to go with. Robert was referred to us by our Realtor and we are grateful for the recommendation. Robert was a great communicator before the inspection via email suggesting we visit his website to take a look at a sample of an inspection report to see what he does for an inspection. He also informed us of the cost of the inspection and other services we requested, how soon the inspection report would be available, and confirmed the time and date of the inspection. I was able to be present for the inspection of the property we were under contract to purchase. Being an objective, third party, Robert provided a wonderfully sincere, forthright, and honest approach to the inspection explaining in detail what he was seeing. The inspection report itself was a very straightforward document. Robert doesn’t sugarcoat things. He reports what he saw and presents his reasoning for his evaluation. I highly encourage anyone to be on hand for the inspection. Being able to talk to and question Robert during his inspection was a great benefit. We highly recommend Robert for a home inspection.
We hired Robert to inspect the home we purchased in October 2016. Robert provided us with an incredibly thorough inspection. He truly cared about our experience and noticed things we would not have noticed. His communication was excellent throughout the process. He was very accommodating in doing the inspection without much notice in order to work around my husband’s work schedule. We had a wonderful experience and give the highest recommendation for Robert’s services.
Robert was extremely thorough and knowledgable. He made us feel as confident as possible with the decisions we had to make about the house by pointing out the extent of the issues and the possible ramifications. I’d highly recommend Robert to anyone.
We’ve engaged Robert’s services multiple times in the last few years and have always been impressed by his knowledge, thoroughness, and professionalism. As long as Robert is inspecting homes, we’ll be his clients!
Robert was a great inspector and made the process very clear and understandable. The report was clear and the color coding was amazing. My husband and I are first time home-buyers and Robert certainly made the process clear and understandable for us first timers! An added bonus was that he was quick to respond to email and always answered questions with clarity as well as regularly offered his assistance if we had questions. We will definitely use him in the future – I highly recommend him!
I’m so glad Donna recommended you! I felt well-advised throughout the process. Thank you for a great job!
Robert did a fantastic job with our home inspection. He is extremely knowledgable, friendly, thorough and professional. His report was delivered on the same day and was easy to read, very detailed, included pictures with arrows and diagrams and even is color-coded so you know where the big problems are! He has tons of special equipment and literally checks every square inch of the house. For us, he even had to crawl through the entire crawl space in the rain and still came out smiling! He is the best and great with communication during the inspection. if you need a home inspected and you want to know every potential issue, call him. You won’t be disappointed.
We were incredibly appreciative of Robert’s expertise and thoughtfulness during our home inspection. We bought an older home, and having never bought a home more than 5 years old, we needed a lot of guidance. Robert was extremely thorough and thoughtful in all of his assessments and we were beyond impressed with his report. We are still using it to guide us through all of our home improvement projects and know that we can call on him in the future if we have any questions. We hope to not be buying another home any time in the near future, but if we did, we would hire Robert again without hesitation, and will certainly be recommending him to friends and family!
Robert did an excellent job with my home inspection. He was extremely thorough and the report he provides is outstanding – complete with pictures and color coded so you can easily prioritize repairs. I would recommend Robert without hesitation! He truly takes pride in his work and clearly enjoys educating home buyers.
Robert is extremely knowlegeable and thorough when he performed his inspection of the home my wife and I are purchasing. His inspection was a “top to bottom” review of all the systems and building structure (from the crawl space up to the roof) and I found his inspection process very detailed oriented and well worth the price. I would highly recommend Robert to any of my family and friends when it comes time for their home inspection!
I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into (buying an older house) and your report gave me so much information and a lot of direction–It was very helpful in allowing me to make better decisions about how to move forward with the purchase. Many thanks, Robert!
I can’t really add to the remarks found on Robert’s website. After participating in at least a half dozen pre-purchase inspections over the years, I can say this was the most interactive and complete inspection, followed by the best report, that we’d ever seen. My only hesitation in recommending Robert is that his schedule is bound to continue to put him out of reach of those folks on a short deadline. He is absolutely worth the wait!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Robert on my home inspection. His inspection of the house I was buying was extremely thorough and he took the time to explain to me what he was doing and looking for in each part of the house. His report was very comprehensive and easy to read. His use of pictures and color coding made it very easy to follow and I was shocked at how quickly he sent me the finished report given how much information was included in it! I’d highly recommend hiring Robert.
Robert was:- 1. punctual and provided a thorough inspection of the outside, including windows, siding, roof, mechanical as well as evaluations of the driveway and landscaping contour 2. provided clear explanation of all his findings – particularly the mechanical issues 3. was pleasant in his manner and did not fill his time on the clock with idle chatter 4. explained along with the realtor what were reasonable requests to be made to the home-holder to be repaired. 5. good value for the amount of time he spent and the quality of his reporting.
Robert has inspected two of our homes and I wouldn’t dream of using anyone else. Robert’s integrity, deep knowledge of all things construction (both new and old), and passion for what he does leave us feeling confident in our purchases. Robert is always willing to let us tag along during his inspections and ask probing questions regarding his observations and insights, always providing an honest and considered response. Robert is thorough, committed, passionate about his work, incredibly trustworthy, and highly recommended.
When I was asked to rate Trebor Home Inspections, thorough, professional, and helpful came to mind immediately! Robert explained the process clearly before we even got started and followed through with everything quickly and completely. And he didn’t mind my following him around and asking questions as he worked! The final report was full of information and easy to understand. He not only included immediate concerns, but offered safety and maintenance issues I should watch for in the future. An excellent experience all around, I would highly recommend him.
We had the pleasure of having our housing inspection completed by Robert Foster of Trebor Home Inspections. The level of professionalism exhibited was exemplary and far surpassed our initial expectations. The preparation, quality, pride and integrity were obvious throughout the process and has set the bar for future interactions with the home buying process. Robert is a consummate proprietor and left us with the knowledge and belief that his desire and promise to provide the best customer service would be achieved. His proficiency was quickly established and maintained throughout the inspection and follow – up process. His ability to communicate and explain his findings both verbally and in writing in an understandable manner were very helpful and appreciated. He is a true pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend him to others or work with him in the future.
The inspection process was very clear, and very welcoming for us to ask questions at any time. The inspection report was incredibly detailed and thorough – the level of detail and aspects like the color coding helped us immensely in terms of prioritizing our negotiation requests for the Sellers. The inclusion of photographs throughout was also incredible helpful. The report provides us with a fantastic baseline “manual” for short and longterm improvements to the house. Thank you again – we really felt like we got top-notch expertise and service.
Robert was extremely thorough and professional during our home inspection. He included not only information about what inspection items were critical, but also information that is helpful for general home ownership, including areas where energy efficiency could be improved. His report was easy to read and understand. We would absolutely recommend him to potential home buyers!
Mr. Foster combines professionalism and accessibility to inform and educate his clients. There is no detail to small or task to simple for him to take the time to examine and explain how it works. He has inspected two houses for us and we will ask him to inspect all our future houses as well.
Robert did an excellent job and took his time giving the home we are considering buying a thorough inspection. We appreciated him taking his time to explain his findings to us in a way we could understand.
Robert not only gave us a thorough and complete professional inspection, he patiently offered a veritable tutorial on the home and its systems. He didn’t mind me tagging along for the inspection, in fact he seemed to enjoy my involvement and my questions. He explained not only the potential issues but how to manage them to prevent future problems as well as how some of the systems/equipment work and suggested maintenance tips. Robert is a no-nonsense and trustworthy professional who had no bias except to give an honest report on the condition of the our future home. I am not only more confident about our purchase decision, I’m more prepared to own the home without the learning curve it might take to become acquainted with how it functions and how to properly care for it.
Robert was not only professional and extremely knowledgable, but he was a pleasure to work with! We felt very comfortable with his level of expertise and his report was so helpful as we moved forward with the home buying process. We not only felt like Robert’s inspection and report was helpful for our decision as potential home buyers, but as future home owners! We are so grateful to understand our home at the level that we now do and would feel completely comfortable recommending Robert to our friends, families, and acquaintances in the future! Thank you!
As first time home buyers, Robert’s thorough report is going to be a tremendous asset to us as we maintain our home over the coming years. We are beyond grateful that we had him perform our home inspection.
Enjoyable, and we felt we were in very good hands!
Robert, My apology for not sending a message sooner but I was hopeful that we might see you again this summer for another inspection. We did not purchase the house on Rutledge Avenue for various reasons. Your thorough and informative inspection of the property helped us very much as we considered this property. However, we ultimately decided that we needed more space and did not want to invest the funds necessary to do so at this house. We continue to look for a suitable home and will again call on you for the inspection. It was a pleasure to see you at work and your written report was excellent! Thank you very much.
Couldn’t have asked for a more thorough, thoughtful, and knowledgable inspector. I learned so much about the property, construction, and home maintenance that will last a lifetime. I felt comfortable asking lots of questions and he took the time to explain many concepts to a new homeowner. I felt like he was extremely detail oriented and brought to light many issues that could easily been overlooked. I felt like he gave me the full picture so I could go into the buying process with my eyes wide open. Overall a great experience and a great guy.
Thank you so much for your informative and thorough inspection!
ROBERT WAS VERY THOROUGH. HE CHECKED THINGS I WOULDN’T HAVE THOUGHT TO CHECK. GOOD JOB.
Robert Foster was incredibly thorough, looking into items that weren’t even addressed in our last home inspection experience. He was helpful, explained everything, and has made himself available for any questions in the future. His inspection report is detailed and comprehensive. A fantastic inspection, and I would highly recommend him.
Robert goes above and beyond with his home inspections. Not only is he extremely thorough, but he also explains things very clearly to the buyer. As someone who was a novice in home buying I felt like I understood much more about the home from Robert than I even did from the builders. Would highly recommend!
The most thorough inspection we have ever received.
Robert did an excellent job with the inspection. He was thorough with the report, but also was very helpful to explain issues during the inspection and offer advice on home maintenance issues that weren’t necessarily defects.
Robert-We could not have been more satisfied with your report and how easy it was to work with you. Anyone who is able to use you for their inspection should consider themselves extremely lucky, and in the best hands possible. We will absolutely recommend you to others. Thank you!
Thank you for your excellent work, Robert.
No suggestions for improvement. Could not have been more thorough. We would this inspector for any and all inspections.
Robert’s on-site inspection and detailed report were as detailed and informative as I’d hoped. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thorough and expert home inspection.
I thought the work was thorough; the company used electronic communications effectively; and — re the charges and other provisions of the “contract” — quite transparent.
Very thorough inspection and detailed report. Made us aware of a lot of deficiencies without making every issue seem like a crisis.
Wonderful service; prompt, thorough, easily understandable. Robert was helpful in answering tough questions we posed after the Inspection and we are grateful. Would not change anything.
Robert was great at explaining all items noted on the inspection report, as well as other general items that will help me take care of my home the entire time I own it! He answered each of my questions thoroughly and made himself available for questions via e-mail after the inspection. I would definitely recommend him!
Thank you very much for such an informative, concise and detailed report. The manner in which you layout your comments on each area of the home made it so easy to work with. As well, your willingness to explain the process while you were conducting the inspection, I feel, helped me not only understand the report more easily, but understand the inner workings of the home as well.
Robert was exceptionally thorough and professional in the inspection of the property considered for purchase. His report was detailed and easy to follow with the inclusion of pictures, color coding of deficiencies, and his specific descriptions of concerns. Most importantly, he was easy to work with, which made the inspection an enjoyable and informative process. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to consult with him in the future.
We’ve bought and sold a number of homes over years and Robert’s inspection of the home we are buying was one of the best. He was completely thorough, took the time to explain issues in layman’s terms that we could understand, answered questions patiently and produced the best, hands down, final report that we’ve ever received. Highly recommended.
Robert was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very thorough. We would definitely recommend him and would choose him again for any potential future inspections. He answered all of our many questions and provided great advice for future maintenance.
We were so impressed with Robert’s attention to detail and his thorough process. He was very open to our questions and explained everything as we went through the inspection. The inspection report was detailed and not only covered the issues found, but also provided information to enable us to best care for our home. This is our third time buying a home and this is by far the most helpful inspection we have had- the extensive information in the report is invaluable as we get to know our new home. We highly recommend Robert!
Robert was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He examined and explained everything thoroughly. The report we received after the inspection was detailed and easy to understand. Robert has done an excellent job following up after the inspection to ensure that any outstanding questions are addressed. We enjoyed working with Robert and would recommend him to anyone.
Robert was the most thorough inspector that I’ve had the pleasure of doing business with. Extremely knowledgeable and professional.
Robert was extremely thorough and focused not only on the home inspection, but providing helpful insight for home OWNERSHIP. As a first time home buyer this was an incredibly educational and valuable experience.
Robert took time to explain every detail of the house and showed us how we need to care for it moving forward. He was thorough and provided a detailed inspection report in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend his services.
It was a pleasure to meet you and work with you on my condo. I am happy to write a very positive testimonial. Not having much experience on my own with home inspections, I especially appreciate how incredibly patient, thorough and informative you were in educating me on all aspects of the inspection, purchase concerns and, the specific maintenance guidelines. Karen told me that you are the best in Charlottesville, and she was correct! Lastly, I appreciate you offering to be of assistance to me if I have further questions after taking ownership.
Thorough and thoughtful with no pretense or drama. I cannot recommend you more highly.
I have probably had experience with a dozen home inspectors over the years and none have been as comprehensive and thorough as Robert. An exceptional job with clear and concise recommendations and concerns. Highly recommend his services.
Very thorough and easy to work with. Exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him to anyone.
Robert is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He is very helpful and answers any and all questions thoroughly. We were very pleased with how detailed Robert’s written report was and appreciated the way he organized everything in the report. It was very user friendly and easy to follow. We would definitely recommend Robert to our friends or family!
Robert, we are grateful for your knowledge, and the delivery of that knowledge in an engaging, informative and friendly way. We value what we’ve learned and see it as a tool and not just a grade, so thanks!
Thorough and friendly, great combo. I appreciated all of the insight into items that were both necessary and suggested as repairs. I honestly don’t have any constructive feedback right now, it’s good to know that I have respected professionals such as yourself and Karen Ball working around me, makes the process of purchasing a home much better.
You rock Robert. Your covering letter was so reassuring as it is disheartening to read a list of negatives. Your report shed light on so many things I was far too excited to notice and really focused my attention. Of course the reason we hired you was to have an expert opinion and I don’t see how we could have done better. We have the necessary leverage to get certain things done now before we close thanks to your report, and awareness going forward. Thank you so much. I won’t hesitate to reccommend you.
As first time home buyers, we found Robert to be extremely honest and diligent with a terrific eye for detail. He was willing to explain and walk through each problem found in the home and helped suggest options to remedy. He is certainly the buyer’s advocate.
Robert was extremely professional and meticulous in his inspection. The exhaustive report reflects his attention to detail and care taken in evaluating my condo for purchase. HIGHLY recommended!
During his meticulous and thorough inspection, Robert left no stone unturned. I am extremely pleased with the full assessment that we received and I feel much more prepared for the future with his report in my hands. Thanks, Robert!
Robert was extremely organized, efficient and professional. His expertise was greatly appreciated and I would recommend him without hesitation.
I’m extremely satisfied with my home inspection. I’ve shown the report to several friends and family, all of whom told me that it was one of the most informative inspection documents they had seen. Besides delivering a very thorough and easy-to-read report, Robert has also been friendly, forthcoming and professional before, during and after the inspection. His candor regarding the home’s deficiencies (and strengths) made me very comfortable with the direction that my purchase process has taken. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the area.
Very complete and informative report I only wish I could have been there in person to benefit from your expertise and professionalism.
Robert was great! He explains everything and asks if you have questions every step of the way.
Excellent inspector. I was not able to attend but the report was made it feel like I was. Detailed pictures and video of any issues or concerns was brilliant.
We have had a number of buyers inspections performed. Robert gave us the most thorough and informative one we have ever received.
We can’t thank you enough for your very thorough inspection. Because we could not be there for the actual inspection day, we really appreciate your coming back and going over the house with us. Your report and your thoughts on various parts of the house will be very helpful in not only moving forward with the sale, but knowing things we may need to keep an eye on in the future. We can’t thank you enough for your professionalism!
We are so very pleased with all the information you provided. The attention to detail, the pictures, and the bits of information make us feel like we know the house inside and out and can make well-informed decisions about it. Thank you Very Much!
Robert was extremely thorough and did a great job of explaining possible issues/concerns and areas for energy savings (both during the inspection and in his report). I would highly recommend him.
Working with Robert was a pleasure. He communicated quickly via e-mail to set up the inspection. He arrived on time. He was extremely thorough in his inspection. He talked me through what he was seeing. He produced his report within 24 hours, complete with video and photos. He answered my follow up questions. Couldn’t be more satisfied. Well worth the cost.
Great job! Only confusion was the date of the inspection. Maybe do call a ahead the day prior to avoid this.
Robert was extremely thorough in his inspection and was helpful in answering all the questions I had. I would use him again and recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection.
Very thorough inspection, and was willing to explain the process and issues as they came up and their importance. Very happy with the results, the report, and the immediate turn around provided. Also provided substantial green/environmental improvements to make a home more efficient.
An incredibly professional and thorough inspection! Robert clearly knows his way around a 100-year-old house and exactly where to look for structural problems, safety issues and areas of concern. I feel so much more confident in making this purchase because Robert took the time to walk through the house with me, giving me his unbiased impressions, and confirming in this case that the house is basically solid, with a few issues to address to keep it that way. Highly recommended.
I am thoroughly impressed and satisfied with your level of detail and commitment to inspection quality. You brought to my attention all the issues and concerns in my new home. I now have a clear understanding on improvements and safety issues that can be remedied. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, patient, detail-oriented, pernickety (in the good way!)–the best I could have asked for as a first-time home buyer. Grateful for his help throughout the process.
I appreciated Robert’s taking the time during the inspection to point things out to me. His report was comprehensive and I am sure I will refer to it many times over the coming months.
Robert was extremely thorough, informative, and helpful. We highly regard his work!
Thanks for an excellent inspection. In addition to giving us extremely valuable information about the current condition of the home we’re buying, you’ve given us a road map to all the repairs needed and areas that require vigilance going forward. We especially appreciate your availability for post-inspection questions.
Robert, we feel like your inspection was very thorough, and certainly brought out concerns we weren’t aware of. In fact, as a result of the attention you brought to the roof, siding, and crawl space, we arranged estimates for work on those areas. After receiving estimates on the roof and crawl space, even before getting a siding repair estimate, we decided to terminate the contract. The dollar amount had already surpassed what we were willing to spend in addition to planned interior updates. During the inspection for the crawl space work, the technician pointed out that the placement of the air handler for the heat pump in the crawl space meant the air being pulled into the house brings with it , whatever is “growing” in the crawl space. Not having owned a home with a heat pump previously or understanding the handler is located in the crawl space, we didn’t realize this until we got that estimate. That would have been good info in the report. Thanks for a great job!
Fantastic analysis and incredibly thorough! Would refer him to anyone buying a house or who wants a well-organized and detailed inspection for their home.
Thank you for the thorough and detailed home inspection. I especially appreciated your emphasis on all parts of the home being installed and functioning per manufacturer’s specifications. It seems that for you, there is no “good enough” or “that should work.” Something is either exactly correct or it isn’t – a great trait for a home inspector.
Appreciate the report and will use it going forward.
Robert’s knowledge and thoroughness are exceptional. Our realtor says he is the best in the Charlottesville area and we see why.
Robert was very thorough and very informative. I know I will reference his report as long as I’m living in this house.
Never met anyone more professional and thorough than Mr. Foster. I feel that even though we had confidence in our builder, the fact that they knew Robert would be doing his inspection, encouraged them to be on top of their game. Worth every penny of extra expense, don’t build a house without him.
Robert was very knowledgeable and discussed issues as we walked through the house. The report was also very helpful.
Hi Robert, I thought you were very thorough (though obviously I have no point of comparison) but mostly I appreciated that communicated with us in a way that conveyed the information without being condescending or too technical for us to understand. We really enjoyed working with you and would recommend you to anyone looking for a home inspector.
Really appreciate the attention to detail and the followup contact, as well as making recommendations that the sellers generally agreed were important to fix. Will happily recommend!
Very thorough and helpful. Explained items that, although were not immediate concerns, could be issues and how to remedy. Would most definitely recommend.
I’ve only been a party to a handful of home inspections, but Robert is, by far, the most thorough inspector I’ve seen. And his report was clear and easy to understand. I also highly recommend attending the inspection in person. Robert seems to take pride and joy in educating home owners about good home maintenance.
Your inspection was meticulous and presented in a friendly, accessible, and highly knowledgeable manner. We learned so much. In discussing the house, we showed your report to several family members including one contractor, all of them remarked on the thoroughness and insight of your inspection. Thank you for your help and sharing your knowledge with us!
I so appreciated Robert’s easy manner and willingness to educate me about the home while conducting his inspection.
Robert’s thoroughness was top notch. He was very professional to work with and taught us so much along the way about the process.
Robert was a pleasure to work with. He encouraged me to ask lots of questions so that I was comfortable with the results of the inspection. Robert was extremely thorough during the inspection. He found numerous issues and he took the time to educate me about items that were minor and which ones were more significant. Robert came highly recommended by my realtor, and after working with Robert, i have the same high opinion of Robert and would gladly recommend him to my friends.
Robert performed an excellent inspection – it was extremely thorough and provided us with clear information that was easy to understand in layman terms. Robert offered follow up and clarifications and excellent service. I would absolutely recommend Robert to anyone!
Robert you are by far the best inspector I have ever met and I have met a lot as I sold real-estate in Florida. You were VERY clear in your report and very willing to give 110% on paper and in person. Thank you for working with us. I will absolutely tell anyone looking for an inspector about you.
Robert’s work is meticulous and his documentation is of the highest order. During my home inspection Robert was able to answer all of my questions. This assured me that all critical issues were being properly observed and documented. Robert’s work is exceptional in every regard and I would highly recommend him for any home inspection project. In addition to his professionalism, he happens to be a very cordial (‘nice guy’) person and one that exudes unmistakable integrity.
Robert, we thought your inspection was thorough and insightful. Having some background in home construction (my dad was a building contractor), I saw several of the items you pointed out. The major items you highlighted were right on! There is just a bit of work to do but but the best part is the positives far outweigh the cautions! Thank you for a great job.
We were so happy to have Robert as our inspector. We felt that he was extremely thorough, and he took the time to carefully explain to us everything that he found. His report is also very easy to read and review. For first-time home buyers like us, we were thankful to have such a conscientious inspector like Robert.
Robert is thorough and detail-oriented. He does a great job of inspecting a house and explaining the deficiencies in layman’s terms. I learned a great deal about our new home by joining Robert during our inspection.
I was very impressed with your knowledge and professionalism! I feel absolutely confident in my purchase with you having done the inspection. Thank you so very much!
He was very thorough and answered all of our questions along the way. I feel extremely comfortable in recommending his services to anyone.
Robert was very professional and he combed the house for defects. He found a slew of minor defects along with a major defect concerning a safety issue. Thank you Robert for a job well done.
We were very fortunate to have chosen Robert to perform our home inspection. He performed an extremely thorough inspection of our home. His professionalism and knowledge put our minds at ease, and Robert’s detailed report which was readily available in 24 hours was beyond what we expected. Not only would we choose Trebor Home Inspections again, we will happily refer him to anyone who we know could use his services.
It is refreshing to find someone who does what they say they will, when they say they will, who is friendly, knowledgeable, and sticks to the quoted price for the service. Thank you for being honest and informative.
Very committed to finding any faults or defects that the home may have. Robert is very personable and approachable with questions or concerns. I highly recommend Robert to perform home inspections.
Robert Foster was awesome. Although I consider myself very experienced purchasing, selling, and maintaining homes, Robert’s extremely detailed home inspection at my future Earlysville, VA home found substantive issues that I would have never found that must be corrected regardless of whether the Seller or Buyer pays for the Repairs. Moreover, I will be moving into this house from out-of-state and Robert was so patient with my long phone calls and never ending Questions. Robert’s report was so professionally done, well organized, and documented with color photos such that even a novice homeowner would understand the issues.
Thank you for being so detailed. The pictures were very helpful.
We were very impressed with the amount of detailed information we received from Robert. His extensive knowledge of the whole house made us very comfortable with the accuracy of his findings. He is a pleasant and well-mannered person. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspection.
Thanks again Robert for all your detailed information and especially the online photos of the problems with our home purchase. Thanks also for your help and input after the fact. We greatly appreciate your professionalism, courtesy and quick turn around of the inspection report.
Thanks for taking such care on our inspection + preparing such a clear and easy to read report!
Robert was incredibly thorough and a wealth of knowledge. We learned so much about the home and have every confidence in his report.
Although we didn’t meet face to face your report was thorough and complete. It is the most in depth and direct home inspection I have ever received. Our daughter and her husband were totally complimentary.
In all the years I’ve been in real estate and all the home inspections that I’ve gone through, never have I come across such an incredibly honest, knowledgeable and experienced professional inspector. You make the right call outs and can certainly identify important issues. This is a bonus for the home buyer and also a benefit for anyone wanting to sell their home. I have yet to find another inspector as good as you. Sknaht, Trebor.
Thorough, thoughtful, and well informed home inspection. Robert’s understanding of construction and material condition allowed him to not only look at the home, but to assess the condition and make recommendations. We are very happy and will use him again any time we need a home inspector.
I cannot imagine a more thorough inspection than the one I had with Mr. Foster. He spent hours in the process, looking at every detail, investigating every space, employing every method to make sure we understood the condition of the house. He did this all while explaining what he was looking for and the significance of each finding to me and patiently answering my questions along the way. I came away with a good understanding of the house – from the HVAC system to the grading of the yard â?? and the piece of mind that comes from really knowing what you are getting into. And it was fun! Also, the business (contract, billing etc) end of the process was very easy, professional and thorough as well. As homeowners, we will use our incredibly detailed inspection report as a prioritized checklist of projects that need our attention â?? its usefulness will extend years beyond its role in the real estate negotiation. Mr. Foster is in a class by himself and has my most enthusiastic recommendation.
Thanks! You are exactly the kind of critical advisor one wants when considering the purchase of a building.
I have only great things to say about Robert’s job knowledge, communication, honesty, attention to detail and demeanor. He is, without question, one of a kind.
Mr Foster was quick to make you feel comfortable and at ease to ask questions while maintaining a friendly and professional manner. His thoroughness and attention to detail. I found the report itself to be detail oriented. The only thing I would change would be to insert a reference page/ summery page to highlight the deficiencies found.
You were very patient with us as first time home buyers. Explaining the severity and implications of each issue as well as giving a recommendation on fixing each one. I felt that you were very thorough and answered all of our questions honestly.
It is my first time to buy an old house. Both my wife and I think we are so lucky to find Robert as our inspector. The inspection lasted about 3 hours and Robert checked almost everything of the house. He also answered me a lot of questions. He sent me the report on the same day. The report is very detailed and clear. My wife and I are very satisfied with the service.
Although I didn’t attend the home inspection, the report suggested an extremely thorough approach which helped assure me that I was taking delivery of a new home with all punch-list items appropriately identified. Also, Robert was responsive by e-mail to my questions beforehand.
Excellent inspection with the most thorough walk thru and written report I have ever received. While all the deficiencies were highlighted by Robert and discussed with me, the helpful hints he provided proved just as valuable. He is a wealth of knowledge for anyone, whether a first time homebuyer or a seasoned veteran of home purchases.
Robert was incredibly thorough. He didn’t miss a thing in our inspection.
Robert is thorough and knowledgeable. He takes the time to answer all questions thoughtfully without inflating issues unnecessarily. I appreciate his professionalism.
Robert has incredible attention to detail and really took the time to completely assess the home, both for current and potential future concerns. He was incredibly knowledgable and timely in his extremely detailed report. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone needing a home inspection.
Robert was fast and thorough. He took a lot of pictures of problem areas and published them in his PDF report so we’d have an easy, all-in-one document reminding us of the things that will need to be addressed once we move in. His color-coding system made it easy to quickly understand which were the areas of major, minor, and no concern. Thanks for making our first inspection experience a great one, Robert!
Great report and really nice to have things pointed out that are not problems today, but if ignored could become big issues down the road. I will absolutely recommend his services to anyone that I come across that needs them in the future. Thank you very much for your help.
Thank you very much for the excellent home inspection. It was exactly what I was expecting, based on you sample inspection report posted on your website. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is considering a home inspection. I really appreciated the insight and comments you provide during the inspection. The only suggestion I would make is maybe a summary page on your inspection report. A++ Home Inspector! Once again, Thank you!
The inspection was very detailed with pictures and important details to support the need for repairs to be fixed. It’s always important to have a return of the investment for paying for this type of inspection. I would say this was worth the cost by having the sellers of the home correct the concerns prior closing.
Robert is very prompt,knowledgeable, professional and responsive. I appreciated the explanations that he shared with us; the detail of his report, and especially the drawings/explanations of the correct way to remedy the deficiencies that he found. I highly recommend Robert to anyone needing construction information about their existing or future home.
Very knowledgeable and courteous. Very thorough inspection, and Robert was accommodating to our schedule. We really appreciate his work!
Robert was extremely informative not only with recognizing issues but explaining the difficultly level it would be to repair/replace. Following him around vastly increased my knowledge of the home I was buying. Robert was extremely thorough and I would recommend him to anyone looking to do a home inspection.
They say buying home is the biggest purchase decision most of us will make in our lifetimes. Robert Foster will inspect your home with a thoroughness that will leave no doubt you are making the right decision.
Hi Robert, Thank you for working with us again. We really appreciate the time you take in giving us a thorough inspection. We also learn so much from you in the process. We’re glad you were recommended to us and would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for an inspection.
Thank you for squeezing this in yesterday. You rock! As always.
Robert is the inspector I recommend for my buyers, no matter if they are first-timer buyers or veteran buyers. His approach is thorough and careful, using tools and techniques that go beyond the basics, yet he keep discoveries in perspective given the dynamic nature of climate, homes, age and condition. His disposition is friendly and informative–a great balance in what for many buyers is a very stressful time!
Professional, thorough and fair inspections done carefully and with a humility rare in inspectors and architects.
Keep up the good work and really appreciate your willingness to answer the questions at any point in future. The report is very detail oriented with pictures and explanations.
Robert was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He took the time to explain all of the issues he found to us and his report was detailed and easy to understand. Overall we are very satisfied.
Thank you for such a thorough inspection! The information you shared was vital to final negotiations on this home. Thanks to your expertise, I was able to walk away from what could have been, not only a hazardous home, but a costly one. Thank you so much. Your help and advice was invaluable. See you on the next one!
very thorough and professional-would highly recommend Robert to anyone for his service!
Robert was on time and extremely professional. We would use him again!
We are very impressed with the extremely thorough and thoughtful home inspection we received from Robert. The report was very detailed and gave my husband and me something tangible to look at when it came time to make decision on what we felt were needed repairs. As we move forward with the purchase of our next home, this report also detailed things we should be aware of for potential early breakdown in the future. Thank you for your dedication!
Bob is very professional and helpful. He did an excellent job, which helped us a lot in the negotiation with the seller. The house inspected was pretty old so I emailed him a lot with millions of questions after the inspection and he replied promptly. Highly recommend him.
Robert gives the most thorough inspection I have ever ordered on a house. He provides an extremely detailed report with photographs. An example of a sample report is on his website and the actual report exceeded my expectations. Further he gave very useful suggestions for the corrections of trouble areas and general home maintenance. An inspection with Robert is more than just insurance against bad value, it is a valuable information about your new home.
Mr. Foster did a fantastic job with our potential home inspection. Mr. Foster went above and beyond in provide outstanding advice and insight. I would recommend Mr. Foster to anyone in the future and plan on using him again.
I was very pleased with Robert’s professionalism, personality, and quality or work completed. My husband and I were very pleased with how detailed and precise our inspection report was as well as the follow up and continued contact available should problems arise in the home in the future.
Thank you for the outstanding inspection that you performed at my residence. The report you provided was very detailed and through and was easy to follow.
Robert, There is no doubt you do your job very well. I dont think anyone couldve done it any better. Thank you!
Thorough inspection and helpful explanations of all issues. Would highly recommend him.
Very thorough and great explanations provided for any findings. Thanks Robert.
Robert, thank you for an excellent home inspection! Not only did you provide a detailed report complete with pictures and video of the areas needing attention, you answered every question we had regarding home construction and repairs. We were very satisfied with your work and have already recommended you to other real estate agents and potential home buyers.
Robert was incredibly thorough in his inspection. He took the time to talk through everything with us and answer any questions we had. We are now buying the house with confidence and a much greater understanding of the building. A very big thank you!
Robert, thanks for the extremely thorough inspection and report about the property. I also appreciate your availability and willingness to patiently answer all of my questions. I will be happy to recommend your services.
We wanted to let you know the good news that we settled on pricing and terms based off your report. We can’t thank you enough for your thoroughness! We learned SO much about the house during the inspection, and your final report addressed everything we needed to know to move forward & then some. Mike and I plan to stay in touch and put your extensive knowledge to further use! 🙂 THANK YOU AGAIN!
Robert- Thank you for your kindness, professional way, and utmost throughness of your inspection report. This report will certainly help my parents as they prepare to put their home on the market.
Wow…welcome to Charlottesville. It’s a pleasure to see the bar raised!
Thank you so much! The report is so detailed and informative. I’d gladly recommend you to anyone needing an inspection and if I need another, I’ll be giving you a call.
Thank you, Robert, for your assistance and detailed report. I really appreciate the time you took to go through your findings with me, and your willingness to answer all the questions I had concerning the fine deails of the house’s construction.

Beverly Hills, Calif. -- In an effort to provide audiences with greater access to news-video resources, Cable News Network will launch a subscription broadband-video service that will offer multiple live news streams and archived video programming.
In addition, the network will launch in August a weekday show that will provide viewers with a unique view of the day's news and events.
CNN's new “Pipeline” broadband product will offer a fully operational interactive page that will feature four continuously live CNN video feeds, each of which will showcase content from current news the network is following, according to CNN News Group president Jim Walton, who spoke at Turner Broadcasting System Inc.’s Television Critics Association Tour presentation here Sunday.
"The Atlanta editors will determine what we feel are the four most significant streams at any given time," Walton said. "The viewer can cut between them to go searching for whichever live one you want."
CNN has yet to price the monthly subscription service, which will also offer access to hundreds of archived stories and video. The service will compliment the network's free-video-on-demand service launched last month.
In a television variation of Pipeline, CNN Aug. 8 will bow The Situation Room, a weekday show that will present the news through various reporting techniques.
Modeled after the White House situation room, the Wolf Blitzer-led show -- which will air from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. -- will combine traditional reporting methods with the newest innovative online resources such as blogs, Web sites and podcasts, network executives said.
“The Situation Room is an expression of CNN's massive newsgathering capabilities put over the television platform," CNN/US president Jon Klein said. "Pipeline is an expression of what CNN does in the form of newsgathering and an expression that's placed on a different platform."
In other Turner news, Turner Network Television announced that it has renewed its hit original scripted series, The Closer, for a second season. The June 13 premiere of the series, starring Kyra Sedgwick, garnered a 5.9 rating, the highest series-premiere rating in cable history.
The network also announced that it will bow in 2006 Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King, a limited series based on the fright master's book of short stories.

The $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles is set to start phasing out for the Model S, Model X, and Model 3 after Dec. 31, according to the company’s website. The Palo Alto, California-based carmaker is the first to trigger the reduced incentive in the U.S.
While tax credits have helped boost electric vehicle demand in the U.S., they remain only 1.1 percent of the market. The federal government support was designed to decline once manufacturers reach higher production levels and reduce their costs. Two quarters after a company reaches 200,000 sales in the U.S., the incentive is cut in half to $3,750. Two quarters later, the credit amount is reduced by half again, and it’s eliminated half a year later.
A Tesla spokesman confirmed that the company delivered its 200,000th vehicle in the U.S. this month, so the full $7,500 tax credit will remain in place until Dec. 31. After that, the incentive starts ratcheting down and will be eliminated at the end of 2019, assuming there’s no change to the program.
Tesla increased second-quarter deliveries to Canada and had a significant number of vehicles in transit at the end of June, which may have reflected an effort to delay reaching the 200,000 level to “game the tax credit,” Loup Ventures analyst Gene Munster speculated on July 2.
Musk denied slowing U.S. deliveries, saying he wasn’t tracking the number, only pushing to increase production.
The Model S sedan and Model X sport utility vehicle can each cost more than $100,000. The Model 3, billed as a more affordable car with a starting price of $35,000, is currently delivered only in more expensive versions. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said June 5 that the lower-priced version will probably start being sold around the end of this year.

We spend tons of money on food and we even overspend money too. Too much! To save money on grocery shopping many save thousands of dollars by doing something you might not even know.
Keep reading because it's going to get better!
We all know about extreme couponing. We all know about cash rebate apps. But what about crazy ways to save money grocery shopping?
What many people won’t tell you is that there are ways to save money that you may not have thought of. Best of all, you don’t have to clip coupons if you don’t want to or don’t have time to. Let’s look at some crazy ways to save money grocery shopping.
It is a simple way you can start doing each week you go shopping and will save you money!
Think about it this way, many people succeed in their goals because they do things differently than what others expect. The same can be said about the way you grocery shop!
Think outside of the box and stop following the grocery shopping expectation and wasting your hard earned money. So, what are these crazy ways to save money grocery shopping you should start doing today?
Liquidators are companies that purchase good and products from closing companies with the intent to resell.
Liquidators, sometimes known as grocery outlets, are an amazing place to save money grocery shopping. Many people think that these stores are only filled with dented cans and expired food.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. While many foods are close to expiring (and some are expired), you can find many great foods that are still in date. There are even foods that have excellent dates that companies have stopped selling or the packaging has changed on. If there are one of these stores in your area, visit it. You’ll be surprised at what you find.
Grocery outlets and other liquidators are one of the best places to grocery shop on a budget!
Many benefits of shopping at grocery outlets or liquidator stores and one of my favorites are buying organic products and diapers! Some companies have email and they offer weekly sales on their product which will save you even more.
If you are worried about their return policy, know that these companies do offer a return product. They are not in the business of selling you junk, and they want to make sure you are a happy returning customer.
Throughout many grocery stores, you’ll find many extreme markdowns. Stores will mark down meat, produce, and bakery items that are close to the date. These are still great items.
You can freeze the meat for later use or use that day. The same goes for the produce and baked goods. Don’t be afraid of these items if you know you’re going to use them immediately or freeze them for later. Find out when your store puts these items out and what day they mark down meat.
This is my favorite tip because not many people know about this and it also reduces food waste! About 20% of food waste is due to expiration dates.
Expiration dates only started being added to food in the 1970s. Expiration dates on milk were added in the 1930s. Think about that for a moment.
What did people do before then?
Also, what’s the deal with expiration and sell by/use by and even best by dates? It’s all very confusing.
So what is “Sell By” date?
Sell By date is to show when the manufacturer should stop selling this product and for the companies to ensure they are selling the best quality food.
What is “Best by” or “Best if used by” or “Use by”?
These terms show the estimated date when the food will no longer be at its freshness or highest quality but doesn't guarantee that it will go bad. You will not get sick after eating the food after this date you just might notice a difference in quality.
Obviously, you want to pay attention to expiration dates when it comes to things that could make you very sick, such as milk, eggs, and meat. When it comes to things like cereal, canned vegetables, etc., you will see dates that can be ignored.
These are dates that promise the freshness and quality of the food. The food may lose some of its nutritional value if it goes by that date but it’s still perfectly safe to eat.
To get more information about food safety and storage advice, use the FoodKeeper app or visit the FoodKeeper site.
Last, but not least, grocery stores aren’t the only place to get food. A great example is the Dollar Tree. Many people think that the Dollar Tree only has poor quality food.
The Dollar Tree often gets in shipments of name brand foods. At the time of this article, the company has recently carried General Mills cereals, Pop Tarts, Keebler products, and even Cool Whip. The dates are also good on these products.
Many people may find these tips crazy, but they can save you so much money. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box to feed your family. From experience, I will tell you that it gets easier to shop and you will see your saving grow.
Your turn: You learned four tips to save money on grocery shopping that the majority of people don't practice, we want to know what are your thoughts? Share them with us!

A century from Scott Galloway helped Harpenden Cricket Club to a vital victory – and ended Radlett’s long unbeaten streak in the process.
Galloway eventually finished on 110 not out as Harpenden posted an impressive 296-5 from their 60 overs.
And with the bowlers also producing some fine deliveries, the visitors to Cobden Hill dismissed their hosts for 194, gaining a 102-run victory.
It was Radlett’s first defeat in 20 games, their last loss coming against North Mymms over 12 months ago.
The top-of-the-table clash didn’t alter the relevent positions of the two sides, with Radlett remaining on top ahead of second-placed Harps.
But the gap has now been narrowed to 35 points and Harpenden will head into the remainder of the season full of confidence.
Galloway’s knock came at almost a run a ball, and saw him hit 14 fours and two sixes.
And with James Latham, who ended eight short of his own century, he helped put on 200 for the fifth wicket.
The partnership was pretty timely as the pair came together with Harpenden at 70-4.
Matt Creese had done the early damage, taking the important wicket of Ben Frazer along the way, and both he and Maaz Sheth finished with two wickets apiece.
The Radlett reply got off to an awful start, captain Kabir Toor departed for a duck with Radlett only on three.
Only Tom Jenkins in the top half of the order looked to be in any sort of form and his innings helped arrest a slow start which had seen Radlett on 46-4 at one stage.
His departure, caught by Jake Pankhurst off the bowling of Harry Josephs for 51, left them on 124-7 and seemingly on the verge of a first defeat since last season.
And despite a brave display from the tail-enders, that was confirmed after 57 overs when Ben Lederman was last man out.
Frazer picked up 4-60 from 20 overs with Bradley Finch’s 3-40 off 17 equally impressive.
Harpenden will look to continue their fine form, which has seen them remain undefeated since an opening day defeat to Totteridge Millhillians, when they host bottom side Sawbridgeworth on Saturday.
Radlett travel to fourth-place Welwyn Garden City.

She soon realised that her debut book was not as great as she thought and she believes she has devoted large parts of her life to trying to write books that prove she is better than the reputation of her first book would suggest – books that prove she can be a real author. To say she has succeeded would be an understatement. Hartnett is one of the authors currently charting a new course for young adult fiction in terms of both form and content, while constantly pushing the boundaries of her own authorship. No two works are alike. Themes and motifs recur in her writing, but each work has a different focus.
The Ghost’s Child (2007) differs from most of Sonya Hartnett’s other books for young adults in that it is not nearly as dark. It involves grief and pain, but ultimately the story resolves itself into a life-affirming reconciliation.
The book might be said to create a genre all of its own. It can be described as a poetic saga with touches of everything from concrete realism to dream-like sequences that spill over into pure fantasy, with the main character talking to fish and to the west wind.
The novel opens with the lead character, a 75 year-old woman, receiving an unexpected visit from a mysterious boy. He gets her to talk about her life – particularly the dramatic love story in her youth that became a defining moment for her. It left deep scars, but as she now looks back, she can see that her life has still been rich and meaningful, with experiences of both loss and joy.
By choosing to depict the experiences of youth as seen through the eyes of an old person, Sonya Hartnett opens the way for a type of wisdom that is unusual in young adult fiction.
In what time is the story set?
How do you interpret the description of the remote island and the idea of eternal peace?
What do you think the book says about how you should live your life?
Beauty is an important subject in the book. What conclusions can we draw from what is said?
The presentation of Sonya Hartnett talks about how important animals and the natural world are to her. What do you think their roles are in the book?
What picture does she paint of the upper classes?
The book’s central theme is love. It is approached from many different angles, for example through the depiction of Maddy and Feather’s relationship, through her relations with other people, and through various statements and questions about how love works. What do you think the book says about love?
Maddy and Feather love each other, but their life together becomes a prison. Does the book say anything more generally about why certain people are drawn to each other – and why it can sometimes be hard for them to live together?

A wide variety of fruits and vegetables at the La Boqueria.
A cuisine (/kwɪˈziːn/ kwi-ZEEN; from French [kɥizin], in turn from Latin coquere "to cook") is a style of cooking characterized by distinctive ingredients, techniques and dishes, and usually associated with a specific culture or geographic region. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade. Religious food laws, such as Hindu, Islamic and Jewish dietary laws, can also exercise a strong influence on cuisine. Regional food preparation traditions, customs and ingredients often combine to create dishes unique to a particular region.
Some of the elements that have an influence on a region's cuisine include the area's climate, which in large measure determines the native foods that are available, the economic conditions, which affect trade and can affect food distribution, imports and exports, and religiousness or sumptuary laws, under which certain foods and food preparations are required or proscribed.
Cuisine dates back to the Antiquity. Rome was known for its cuisine, wealthy families would dine in the Triclinium on a variety of dishes, their diet consisted of eggs, cheese, bread, meat and honey.
Cuisines evolve continually, and new cuisines are created by innovation and cultural interaction. One recent example is fusion cuisine, which combines elements of various culinary traditions while not being categorized per any one cuisine style, and generally refers to the innovations in many contemporary restaurant cuisines since the 1970s. Nouvelle cuisine (New cuisine) is an approach to cooking and food presentation in French cuisine that was popularized in the 1960s by the food critics Henri Gault, who invented the phrase, and his colleagues André Gayot and Christian Millau in a new restaurant guide, the Gault-Millau, or Le Nouveau Guide.
Regional cuisines may vary based upon food availability and trade, cooking traditions and practices, and cultural differences. For example, in Central and South America, corn (maize), both fresh and dried, is a staple food. In northern Europe, wheat, rye, and fats of animal origin predominate, while in southern Europe olive oil is ubiquitous and rice is more prevalent. In Italy the cuisine of the north, featuring butter and rice, stands in contrast to that of the south, with its wheat pasta and olive oil. China likewise can be divided into rice regions and noodle & bread regions. Throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean there is a common thread marking the use of lamb, olive oil, lemons, peppers, and rice. The vegetarianism practiced in much of India has made pulses (crops harvested solely for the dry seed) such as chickpeas and lentils as significant as wheat or rice. From India to Indonesia the use of spices is characteristic; coconuts and seafood are used throughout the region both as foodstuffs and as seasonings.
Asian cuisines are many and varied. Ingredients common to many cultures in the east and Southeast regions of the continent include rice, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, chilies, dried onions, soy, and tofu. Stir frying, steaming, and deep frying are common cooking methods. While rice is common to most Asian cuisines, different varieties are popular in the various regions; Basmati rice is popular in the subcontinent, Jasmine is often found across the southeast, while long-grain rice is popular in China and short-grain in Japan and Korea. Curry is also a common dish found in southern and eastern Asia, however they are not as popular in western asian cuisines. Those curry dishes with origins in India and other South Asian countries usually have a yogurt base while Southeastern and Eastern curries generally use coconut milk as their foundation.
Oceanian cuisines include Australian cuisine, New Zealand cuisine, Tasmanian cuisine, and the cuisines from many other islands or island groups throughout Oceania.
The cuisines of the Americas are found across North and South America are based on the cuisines of the countries from which the immigrant peoples came, primarily Europe. However, the traditional European cuisine has been adapted by the addition of many local ingredients, and many techniques have been added to the tradition as well. In the case of Latin American cuisines, many pre-Columbian ingredients and techniques are still used. The regional cuisines are Canadian cuisine, American cuisine, Mexican cuisine, Central American cuisine, South American cuisine, and Caribbean cuisine.

Reflexology for restoration and maintenance of balance within the body, this is the standard phrase reflexology therapists are guided to use when advertising this remarkable therapy.
As a therapist I’ve had the opportunity to introduce clients to reflexology for the very first time.
‘I’d don’t understand how a treatment to the feet can cause me to feel as if I had a deep all over body massage!‘ one recent client exclaimed at the end of her first ever reflexology treatment.
She had come for treatment as she had heard about the growing reputation of reflexology in fertility optimisation. Busy, demanding lifestyles can upset the balance for our hormonal system and while there is a dedication to research within the world of reflexology, clients tend to make their choices based on what they’ve heard from friends and family who have tried the therapy for themselves.
On the subject of fertility, the wonderful news of a pregnant client is such a thrill when it is announced. The relaxation that reflexology has the ability to induce is certainly powerful. Through working the reflex points on the feet (areas corresponding to the systems and organs of the body), tension can be released, even tension we are not aware of, the circulation of blood and lymph improves the nourishment of body tissues and the elimination of toxins, creating optimum conditions for our body and mind to function more smoothly.
Sometimes clients turn to reflexology when medicine has not been able to shed light upon the reason or cure for their ailment. So was the case of a gentleman who had a urinary problem causing him many trips to the bathroom, particularly during the night which caused further problems due to lack of sleep. He had been for scans and there was no diagnosis as to the cause of the problem.
He came for a total of 6 reflexology treatments, four weekly treatments and two fortnightly treatments. He noticed improvements after the first treatment and more rapid improvements after each subsequent treatment. He was pro-active in his healing as he pledged to drink less fluids in the evening, reduce daily caffeine drinks, take more regular exercise, doing some foot exercise with a tennis ball in order to loosen a very stiff ankle and foot. He was a new man within weeks, full of the joys of life and giving me added heath tips and philosophical advice. I was thrilled for his self-healing results through reflexology.
Another client sought reflexology as she had been experiencing very low energy and had stopped her regular jogging routine. When I examined her feet I noticed very large hard lumps on both feet above the heel at the inner and outer sides of the sole (plantar surface). They had been there for years she told me and her doctor had concluded that they were not life threatening. They may not have been relevant to her complaint but I recorded them on my foot charts noting the size of each and carried on with weekly treatments.
She had a very responsible fast paced job and reflexology was her way to completely zone out. She found the treatment highly meditative. Soon she regained her energy and motivation to resume jogging on a daily basis. Every week I checked the lumpy parts of her feet. I was noticing a reduction in their size. After ten weekly treatments two of the lumps were no longer visible and two were considerably reduced in size.
The response to reflexology treatment is individual. Each of us is unique and we deserve to be treated accordingly. As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping to the best of my knowledge and ability through the working of reflexes on hands or feet. Helping a client to relax from the very start of treatment and providing encouragement to take an active part in their own self-healing is are essential in my role as therapist. Creating a sense of being cared for can be the most important element of the treatment particularly if a person’s has been dealing with more traumatic issues such as loss or perhaps dealing with cancer.
If you have not yet discovered reflexology I invite you to give a try and visit my website for further details.

If I buy HD controller PCI for my computer, will I get 2/4 additional Drive controllers (including the motherboard controllers)? Or will I have to choose whether to use, either, the motherboard controllers or the PCI Controller. This is of course UDMA/ATA not SCSI, I know I can put additional SCSI\'s IN.
Whatabout a RAID controller card. I\'ld like to use my existing computer as a central server for the next two computers I plan to buy, and I\'ld like to keep the Hard Drives on that system and network them to the Giga computer and the Audio/sequencer computer.
The onboard controllers are going to be using IRQs 14-15. If you have two other IRQs available for the 2 additional new controllers, they can be the tertiary and quarternary ports. But your new controller will have to be one that doesn\'t mind \"playing second fiddle\". You might find it easier doing what you desire with SCSI, since its controller will only need one IRQ for all the drives on the SCSI chain.
by \"secondary fiddle\" do you mean they\'ll have slower response, or am I missing it completely.
Would it be better to switch off onboard controllers and jsut use the cards. The reason I ask is that I\'ld really like to build a RAID setup for better speeds. I\'d like to use one server setup for GIGS on what may end up being a multiple gigastudio setup in the future.
An extra IDE card will typically add 2 ports - however my experience is that (at least some) cards introduce an additional 25 - 30 ms latency which is bad news for giga.
I don\'t know about the raid - as far as i recall from an earlier discussion, it is doubtfull if this will improve performance; it may even reduce it because of the redudancy.

Jared Goff just put on a quarterback clinic against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football. He is just the fifth player in NFL history to throw for 450 yards, five touchdowns and zero interceptions! ESPN being ESPN narrowed that down to Goff being the only player in NFL history to do so on 3 days rest.
The Baltimore Ravens travel to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers on Sunday Night Football. That means no Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, James Conner, Alex Collins, Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Michael Crabtree or John Brown in the Week 4 main slate player pool.
On Monday Night Football, the Denver Broncos host the Kansas City Chiefs. No Patrick Mahomes this week on the main slate either.
On top of all those players not being available, the Carolina Panthers and Washington Redskins are on bye weeks.
It’s safe to assume DFS players will be all over the Atlanta Falcons (Matt Ryan/Julio Jones/Calvin Ridley) / Cincinnati Bengals (Andy Dalton/A.J. Green/Tyler Boyd) matchup. The over/under of this game is 55 points.
Another popular play will be the New Orleans Saints (Drew Brees/Alvin Kamara/Michael Thomas) at New York Giants (Eli Manning/Saquon Barkley/Odell Beckham Jr./Sterling Shepard) matchup. That game has an over/under of 50.5 points.
Let’s take a look at some other team stacks that can help you take down a GPP in Week 4!
The Chargers host the Niners, who will be without QB Jimmy Garoppolo. C.J. Beathard will be under center for San Francisco. Start the Chargers DST!
Los Angeles is without Joey Bosa and has had a tough start to the season, facing Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff already. You might get LAC at low ownership as their season numbers aren’t great, but this is a great matchup for them.
Austin Ekeler is averaging just about 35% of the team’s snaps and rips of a big play each week, leading to 98 yards from scrimmage per game!
If Keenan Allen’s knee injury limits him on Sunday, Mike Williams could have a huge day.
The over/under is 46.5 points in this one but the Chargers are 10.5 point favorites, with an implied point total of 28.5.
There are plenty of reasons to NOT do this, but it’s Aaron Rodgers and you might be able to get him with low ownership this week.
Sure, the Bills defense just dominated the Minnesota Vikings offense but good luck repeating that.
In the first two weeks, Buffalo allowed an average of 246 passing yards, on 24 completions and three touchdowns to Joe Flacco and Philip Rivers. Even Kirk Cousins completed 40 of his 55 pass attempts for 296 yards in last weeks upset.
Assuming the Packers jump out to a lead, Williams/Jones could add to the six touchdowns (two receiving) the Bills have allowed to opposing RBs. Jones saw 25% of the team’s snaps in his return to the club last week. With Ty Montgomery also in the backfield, Green Bay’s backfield is going to be tough to predict moving forward.
Green Bay is 9.5 point favorites, with an implied point total of 27.25.
Four quarters of Baker Mayfield, against this Oakland Raiders defense, on 10 days rest – sign me up!
His ability to stay poised in the pocket and anticipate his throws instantly makes all of his receivers more valuable.
Antonio Callaway has proven to be able to get behind defenders and could burn the Raiders once or twice on Sunday. He only caught four passes for 20 yards against the Jets but was 4th in the NFL in Week 3 air yards.
As Ryan Noonan points out in his Week 4 Totals post for TheQuantEdge.com, the Raiders allow opponents to score on 45% of their possessions! You will need an account to read the article so if you are a new member use the promo code SIXPACK.
The Browns only have a 21 implied point total, but I’ll take the over here. Cleveland is 3 point road underdogs as they look to win two games in a row.

When starting a business in George School PA, serving as the administrator or executor of an estate, creator of a Trust or operating a Non Profit Organization obtaining a Tax ID (EIN) is a key responsibility.
