  1. It seems to me that we often just respond to these issues, and the level of our response, as well as our ethical stances, defines us. The only way we can weed out the real issues from the hyped issues is to have more experts teaching us, such as Joe Lsteburek, and by being vigilant in service to our customers.
  2. Here in NY we have a law that weakly addresses the issue, we are hoping that the new consumer advisory board will be strong enough to do something, but based on the state test, we are not too hopeful, the test resembles an infamous online test we are familiar with.
  3. I've used the matrix software from ITA FOR 12 YEARS AND BUILT 2 SUCCESSFUL oops businesses with it, the new software addresses the space shortcomings, and seems to be the next generation of whats available, check it out, inspectnow seems to answer all my concerns,
  4. Steve, I had no idea of the level of talent contained in your little round body, can ya write one about mouthy realtors?
  5. I'd always explain that a permanently installed electrical fixture, requires a permanently installed power suppy, but as to making a big deal about it, you played it right if you didn't get the buyer too excited about it.
  6. I grew up in an old miners shack built over a closed gold mine in Jacksonville California, in the gold rush area of the 49er highway, glad it held.....
  7. Painting the ceiling would be akin to taking aspirin for a brain tumor.
  8. Looks like Mr Cramer nailed it, likely condensation and a lack of cleanliness.
  9. when ya see the sloppy way these things are installed, and then we see really random numbers in radon, it just goes to show ya, houses can really suck!!
  10. I would not have done it either, I believe some code (sic) states that clearances must be maintained in front of these areas, and that is good enough for me, like when the workbench is built in front, or the fence, or whatever, I have no problem with other people moving things, me... I'm paid to inspect.
  11. If you look under the hood of these vehicles, you will see a big open pan with a submerged strainer, Just open the bag, dump em in and the trip across town will produce a brand new batch of golden curly fries, suckafish!!
  12. My suggestion is if you do it, charge for the convenience, I got up to $11,000.00 in accounts recievable one time in Ca. and when I saw that, I decided to start charging, and had an extra form, along with the contract, for the client to sign discussing if the deals fails to complete, payment is due within 10 days. I'm glad it is not the way of doing business here in NY, so I don't do it anymore.
  13. I have had a little giant ladder for every inspection I've ever done since 1995, the only thing I added was the newer telescoping ladder for multiple roofs, I have had a bunch of different ones prior to home inspection, but I will not be caught dead without one now.
  14. Dave, this is a material we don't see on the west coast, so it's good to browse things like this, it just adds to the list of whadya know? in my already cluttered brain,
