True," every Fraser I talk to, the first question I always ask is, "What's using a clipboard?" My name is Greg Melis, and I started phrasing back in 2000-2001. So, it's been 15 years now.

I start at one corner of the house and then work my way around the house through the interior, all the while entering the information into Total. I also do the upstairs, and then finish off with taking pictures.

Most properties take me about five minutes, as I have the type of information pre-filled. I just need to take it for a written sketch and put it back in. I would say this process probably saves me anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours...
