On the down side, it means I can spot sheetrock trouble, plumbing disaster waiting to unleash, baaaaad carpentry, and other stuff very easily, even when I'm not supposed to (like at a reception at a very, very high-end custom built house. Observing that the contractor had bollixed the cathedral ceiling by using nails that were already pulling loose did not win me points, since the homeowner happened to be walking past behind me and overheard what I thought was a private comment to a friend.)
