I was going to buy a home a few years back, and I had a friend come over to do the inspection.

He crawled, climbed, and wedging himself into every part of that small house. When he was finished he refused to accept my check, as it only took him a half an hour. I told him that I was paying for a half an hour plus 20 years of experience inspecting houses. If I were to try to do it on my own it would involve extensive reading and learning before I learned how to do it right, and chances are it would not have been done correctly.
I was working out a client the other day, and I was explaining to her what we were doing and why we were doing it that certain way. She told me that she totally trusted me and that she could not figure it out on her own. Sure she could. It would take time and lot of reading
