Talked to a fire inspector yesterday and he said something that stuck with me
He was checking a house I'd just swept in Boulder and asked if I'd looked at the outside of the flue. I said I always do a visual from the roof... but he pointed to a hairline crack in the clay liner near the base, from the ground. He said, 'That's a draft killer and a spark path... you can't always see the big problems from the top down.' It made me rethink my whole start-to-finish check. How many of you guys make a full walk-around a standard part of your job?

How often do you miss the small stuff from up high?

Honestly it took me a while to get used to the view from my new place. You start to notice different things, like patterns of light or how the whole neighborhood looks when it rains. It's less about missing the small stuff and more about seeing a bigger picture. What kind of small things do you find yourself looking for?
