Introducing the Structure Talk podcast

Structure Talk Podcast

It’s official, we’re doing a home inspection podcast. Structure Talk is a podcast about houses, home maintenance, homeownership, buying and selling houses, and of course, home inspections. This podcast is hosted by me, Tessa Murry, and Bill Oelrich.

For our pilot episode, the focus is home inspection Easter eggs. These are hidden defects with houses that take some extra knowledge or investigation to find, and it’s stuff that could be easily missed. Tessa starts out telling the story of a major issue with a lead water line coming into a house. Tessa talks about being looked at suspiciously, being both a young inspector and a female. I can relate to this because I also started out very young. People used to ask me when my dad would be showing up to the inspection! Bill also asks me about the funniest thing I’ve ever found, and then I discuss a major air quality problem found at a new-construction home.

For the record, what I found was a trailer used to support an addition at a home in Hopkins:
