I'm sure Nick will be posting this soon...

Congratulations to member Billy Boerner for making our one millionth message board post.

I'll list the prizes you've won next.

I am considering doing this as a once a month hobby. I have a authentich Winchester hammer action pump shotgun that I think qualifies and a couple of Ruger black powder 44's but no lever-action in pistol caliber. Looking for advice or just someone to chat with about the hobby.

It looks like a fun way to spend one Saturday a month in the morning.

I would be the youngest one in the group also from what I saw last Saturday :D

A little corny but I bet I would not be thinking about my problems while playing cowboy

Last week I was entering an attic area and a contractor inquired about my face mask and filters. He was wondering why I was not wearing eye protection when going into the attic area. I explained that I have always worn a mask to filter out organics etc. and have never had a problem. He went on to tell me about a co-worker of his that lost an eye because he refused to wear eye protection when re-mediating for mold.

None of us would be in business if we lost our vision.

After that inspection I ordered one of these.

I am not sure how long this product has been marketed by PRO-LAB but I found it at Home Depot for $13.98 cdn. "Do it yourself test kit for Mold" They indicate if you want an air quality test then you have to buy two kits because you have to put one outside as a control to compare indoor to outdoor air quality (Hmm I thought I wanted two samples taken outside). No mention of snow or temperature concern. You receive a petri dish, a Q tip and a small bottle of solution to pour on the petri dish. It's so simple a monkey could do it. You simply let the solution harden, which shouldn't be to tough for the control sample because it was 15 degrees below Celsius last night. The one you use in the building after it hardens sits on top of a supply duct for 10 minutes, then you put the lid on and let it incubate for 48 hours. They go on to say that if you see different mold on an indoor sample that you don't see outside send it to the lab with $30 and they will let you know what you have. I have to wonder how IAC2 would feel about this products effectiveness and value.

If I advertise that I repair cars... in fact call myself Joe's Excellent Auto Repairs, and sell services... but then put in my literature that Joe's Excellent Auto Repairs is not an auto repair company...

What would this mean to you?

I know double taps are incorrect, but is there another way to install these surge protectors . Are there lugs that can be installed on the main breaker to accept this? Any help would be appreaciated

Good Day all. My name is Sam Kingery. I have been a member of InterNACHI since Jan. I started as a student and am taking many of the online classes to better prepare myself to become a HI. My plan is to "open the doors" in May.

A little about myself. I am 40, married with a 13 year old son. I have been a business owner since 2001. First with a business partner, then a few years ago we split the company and went our separate ways. Have been a sole proprietor since then. HI will be the first company I have started from scratch. Am nervous and excited all at the same time.

I am sure I will be asking lots of questions. I could get into alot more about myself, but this isn't a dating site. Just thought I would do a little introduction.

Thanks,

Snell Island home inspection...In St. Petersburg...

Anyone have a recommendation

Thanx in advance

Tom

So I have: taken a slew of Nachi courses, purchased domain name, searching for e&o insurance, Finishing my LLC, practiced on a few homes and have been playing with HIP program.
I am anxious to get inspecting, but would feel better if I tagged along with an experienced inspector. I want every one of my inspections to be worth the price.
How did you all handle your first inspection?
Did you worry about shortchanging your first client?
Anybody dare take a newbie on an inspection in the Denver metro area?
If you are busy, I may be able to accelerate your inspections and help you make more money!
Don't worry about me becoming your competition; I think the non-Nachi members might have to worry though...

Eric Richards from Green Valley Inspections drove to Chandler Arizona to help me with a commercial building inspection today.

Eric inspects commercial buildings in Riverside California and all surrounding cities.





Thanks for the help Eric...!
