NACHI

hello all,

I recently acquired a fluke ti55ft from a relative that passed away. I have everything that came packed in the original heavy duty pelican case besides the charger (couldn't find it). the camera has been tested (via ac adapter that was included) and was recently calibrated, I believe (based on a receipt inside the box). I can get pics of anything, including serial numbers and model numbers. I'd be happy to answer any other questions, as well. considering the date of purchase in conjunction to when my relative passed away, I can tell you the camera was not used very much, at all.

This is the underside of a valley in a concrete roof of a house in Mexico. I'm used to seeing the bottom of a valley resting on an exterior wall. This home was about 30 years old and there was no sign of cracking any where in the ceiling, so I see it as a cantilever and am not calling it a problem.
Feel free to comment.

I went from an Astro van to a Chevy HHR. I had to make a few modifications to get the ladder in but it is working out great. I cut my fuel bill in half.

We had a 5kw system installed and have found it doing a less than good job. Installing company not returning calls. Would like to have a "professional" inspect and comment. We are willing to pay for the service.
We are located in Pasco County Florida

Had this stop yesterday. The guy bought this Audi R8 from Robert Downey Jr.
Said it was used in the movie Ironman. I sat in it, wanted to just drive off :)
Way cool.....

I'm getting pretty tired of OAHI publicizing that their designation is the "only designation recognized by the Ontario government". This is a slap in the face of all who inspect in Ontario and never felt like paying out the @ss for the meaningless title of Registered Home Inspector (RHI) from a bankrupt association with barely a footprint in the Ontario inspection industry in terms of membership. Its basically a nice way of saying-"you dont pay us, so you're a fraud. Buyer beware he isn't a Registered Home Inspector!" Yes, the government recognized the title for their members. Yippy. It should not be touting itself as the governing body of all of us. Or the only one that matters or is "legit" in the industry. This week alone I had to explain to 3 potential clients what InterNACHI is and what OAHI isn't. If I haven't been booking 2 a day for the last 3 weeks I'd be infuriated. But wasting time to explain this to the public is trying my patience. I have no issue educating anyone who has a question about this industry. Ever. But, this whole "RHI is the only real deal" thing needs to be squashed.

Nick, you conquered ASHI now PLEASE help out your over 650 Ontario NACHI Home Inspectors. Those in the biz know what InterNACHI represents. But maybe it's time the public knew too!

Thanks

I am considering working with kydex to make some custom tool holders MT-6, Ruler, Sharpie, moisture meter, temp gun etc...

I am looking for anyone who works with it as a hobby or a second job for advice or used tools.

Let me know if you are involved with making things out of kydex or similar products.

I think it may be an interesting and fun and useful hobby to get involved with and l am looking for some used tools. Presses, eyelet setters band saws, band sanders. Kydex Or similar material that you do not intend on using. I'll try anything just to learn if the price is right or "FREE" :) If you give me the stuff I'll give it my best shot to try to make whatever you want. I just want to learn.

I know next to nothing about it but think it would be fun. I purchased Mike S.'s kitchen Kydex so I have a little knowledge and am looking to get started.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice,
Mke

Happy Birthday! Many more to come!

Reading a book on evernote it states that Non profit organizations (I assume its members) can get the subscription at a 50% savings. Can you look into this for us?

I think it is the same for Microsoft products...

Might be worth looking into...thanks...If I had the authority I would have looked into it for you...

Thanks for your consideration

Found this on an exterior wall in a bedroom.It was on a USDA financed job. I mentioned it could be painted over mold.This caused a huge fuss! The realtor and the seller both said that it was dirt in the paint. Opinions? The realtor also suggested that I was looking at nail pops! Thanks in advance!Attachment 65215

Are you all familiar with water testing as seen here?

Can you provide some pointers from an inspectors perspective. Your opinions are very valuable to us.

Thanks,

Howdy, Members --

We'd like your comments and suggestions on this new VCOE, so please weigh in on this thread.
