Nice call, Randy. [:-thumbu] Ditto ... Also ... Eric ... you are inspecting in Florida, licensed in Florida and I'm pretty sure that Florida has a "Florida SOP". That is the SOP you should first/foremost be following and focusing on.

Just add him to the flock of "drive bys" ...

I have my website/phone set up for similar, but I'm "old-fashioned" and don't have an i-phone or droid or such. I reply to such online requests with a quick phone call (at an appropriate time during the inspection) and go from there. I'm not into web surfing and all such things while I'm inspecting. Prefer to do that in the comfort of my office. Stick to basics ... "repeating" ... stick to basics. Then, as you get well-grounded (no electrical pun intended) add items that you thoroughly research that will work well for you and add value to you, your inspections and for your clients. Again ... "stick to basics".

Makes me wonder - just how low a temperature can the sensor in your truck give? Marc I don't want to find out! OTOH-It's a dry cold! It is still DAMN COLD !!! I was raised on a farm in NE Montana near the Canadian border ... COLD !!! I'm keeping myself South of the Mason-Dixon Line. []

Robert, Thanks for your service to our freedom. I salute you for your dedication and sacrifice on our behalf. Some good input here at TIJ from some great folks who want nothing but the best. Godspeed.

Jimmy, So sorry to hear of y'all's loss. Our condolences to you and your family. My wife and I have y'all in our prayers.

Absolutely amazing for Mike O .... he has become the high-tech inspector of the quarter it seems. New Computer New Digital Camera - W90 About to have a new IR Wow !!!

Phillip, That sucks. I have an '06 TrailBlazer and love it. Unfortunately they don't make 'em anymore.

Remember our friend Donald Lawson with the "walking stickman" avitar? He sold his website and extremely high WWW ranking and moved back home to Oklahoma. I used to chat with him now and then, but have not heard from him in a spell.

TM - -.- ..- -.. --- ... K U D O s I can easily echo Ebry's observation ... as can my wife. [^]

Good point....a name....hmmmmm.... JD -- Consider: "Blinky"

As Terry noted ... he is likely doing some consulting due to some moisture intrusion or settlement issue with the Great Wall or some pagoda or other. Cary ... maybe he used the phone booth below when replying to your text ??? Click to Enlarge 26.64 KB Could have problems anywhere along here ... it seems.

Be aware that there are "system limitations" with Spokeo when it comes to removing your data. I had 4 entries and could only remove one of them. When I tried to removed the others their systems "red-type' warned me that the number of privacy requests was exceeded per e-mail address. Now I don't know how many I'm allowed "per e-mail", but I DID remove one, then tried for two then I was blocked. Their FAQ indicates that I may be OK by tomorrow to remove another one ... or maybe two. Information was interesting on all 4 entries. None of them were "real right". My Spring, TX address was linked to NYC. Yes, at one time in my past, I did live in NYC (Upper West Side near the Dakota), but my Spring, TX address does not exist in NYC. I was also living with my parents at most of the locations ... even though they passed on ... many, many years ago. Heck ... I'm over 60!!! It is all very interesting how our data points are "just out there" and it gets mined in so many different ways. BTW - Scott P ... that is a "cute" outfit. Nice to see it again from Mike O.

P. Nathan Thornberry - Why doesn't the "about" link work at your website? What is your company's DNA? Who is the parent and baseline support? I see you have HI association logos that would indicate you are 'affiliated' with such. How deep does that association go with each of those organizations? In particular Nachi?

It is likely that Dominic Maricic will check in before long and give you some very good and direct information about your request.

So many times we see such things and experience such rebuffs from the "authorities" at various groups (AHJ, Gas Company, Electric Company, etc.) and it boils down (no pun intended) to a proper understanding and/or clarification/education.

and .... Likely "Made in China or Mexico" .... That could be crass of me saying that as the OEM product may be made offshore as well.

And we are darn good at it!!! [^]

And don't hold your breath. One thing FOR SURE ... is that you will end up on a list at the broker's office for them to call you once every month or two reminding you that it is your time to bring the coffee/donut/fruit/snack plate to their next meeting. Took me a long time to get "off" the list of one local broker. The young lady at the front desk 'gate-keeper' slot did her job to call me monthly and remind me it was "my turn" to bring the food. I had never been to the broker's office. Found out one of the agents working out of this office had put my biz cards in their bucket. I had met the agent during an inspection and traded cards.

You got my attention ... but in Texas TAR = Texas Association of Realtors. TAR has the political clout in this state pretty much across all spectrums up to and including the Texas State Legislature and Government. Actually ... it could be the same thing

Robert, Texas has some rules/guidelines to a certain degree. Check the state's website for information and/or get with a pool professional who does it for a living and knows all the guidelines. There are quite a number of them. I stopped doing them several years ago and engage a pool professional who knows far more about them than I do or want to assume the liability for.
