I was at COSTCO the other day and they had the LITTLE GIANT for $169.00. Paid over $300 for mine 10 years ago. Chuck

Was the above just for an example, or did you find this? I have found many web samples similsr to the example above. Many sample reports are from 1-6 years old. Kinda funny!! I have found at least 6 sites that have the same sample report from North Carolina. Many inspectors who use a well know inspection system use that systems sample report on their web page. Chuck

Just a reminder to all. As things change we must make sure we change along with them. To start things off right for new year I highly suggest that each and every one of use take a look at our web sites, reports and reporting styles. Make sure what is stated in our web sites are not contradicted in our reports and vice-versa. Most important make sure whatever SOP's you are using that your report meets those SOP's at each and every inspection!! It is amazing how many inspector web sites post sample reports that come no where close to meeting their chosen/given SOP's. If you post samples, post a real report with no names not a five year old report from North Carolina (when you live and inspect in Oregon) from a software manufacturer. Happy Holidays and prosperous 2010!! Chuck

A lot of good suggestions are coming in. First and foremost make sure your report meets any required Standards of Practice. If it does not meet them then no matter how good anyone thinks it is you are not doing your job. Chuck

Another thing. It is a MS Word based document. Not everyone has MS Word, so for emailing purposes that might pose a problem. Also if one does have MS Word they can ALTER the received document. Highly suggest a good PDF converter before emailing. Chuck

-How can the AC be servicable if it was not operated? -Looks like TPR valve is leaking not the water heater. -Heater vent appears from picture to be B vent. Insulation is fire resistant. If single wall vent, it is wrong as single wall is not rated to pass through walls and not good in uncondition air spaces. - Fails to meets SOP no mention of smoke detectors Just a few Chuck
