Jim Morrison Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 I saw this on another site and thought I'd alert the Californicating Brethren what they're in for: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/artic ... E_ID=36619 Moral for the rest of us: Read it and thank Providence that you live where you do. Jim
kurt Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 I know a couple individuals that get approx. 3 times more for a Feng Shui consultation than what I get for a home inspection. I suppose it's fair; I'm talking about reality, & "they" are talking about something else. Reality is boring, & who wants to pay a lot for boring?
chrisprickett Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 I know it's not PC, but I'd really like to smack those people[:-dev3]
Terence McCann Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Sounds like a great marketing opportunity. I however, live in oHIo, we're concerned about cow tipping and the negative effect on barn siding. Nah, it's not that bad, ok, sometimes it is.
Jim Morrison Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Posted January 30, 2004 Douglas, I've only done a couple of home inspections alongside Feng Shui inspectors, and in both instances those folks received 10 times the attention and three times my fee. But as near as I can tell, that's the beauty of the Feng Shui system. Plus, you don't need E&O. Just keep a couple extra swords and mirrors in the trunk of your vehicle and you can easily divert any bad energy you missed the first time around. Not to totally discredit their art, because I'm convinced there's a lot to it, but suffice to say I've never laid eyes on a professional Feng Shui consultant outside the People's Republic of Cambridge, MA. I'm All Fenged Up, Jim Does anyone know if the latest Professional Equipment catalog sells crystal evaluators?
denable Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 This is going to beat the heck out of those mold seminars. I can see the ad now: "Home inspectors be prepared for the future. Feng Shui training seminars are coming to your area. Municipalities will soon adopt new stricter codes based on feng shui. Triple your income, stop doing boring and dirty home inspections for peanuts. Earn real money and respect. If you want to stay on your Realtor's preferred inspector list, be sure you obtained your certificate in feng shui."

Scottpat Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 So I see from all of the above post that we need a Feng Shui session at InspectionWorld 2005! OK, all we need now is to figure out is the direction of the convention center in Austin and if everyone needs to sit on the floor.
Paul MacLean Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 The convention center faces south. My body won't let me sit on the floor.[:-grumpy]
Scottpat Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Paul, IW 2005 is not being held at the Austin convention center, but at a new hotels convention center. This hotel is near the airport, I think it is a Hilton or Hyatt. Last I heard the hotel was in the last phase of completion and we will be the third or fourth conference to use it.
Richard Moore Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 I think this whole Feng Shui thing is a great idea. Of course that may be due to the fact that I'm currently wearing a pyramid hat, an ionized bracelet, have magnetic patches all over my body and am fondling a magic crystal.

Konrad Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 I don't care if this is PC or not: Here in the Heartland, we don't put up with none of that krap. [:-irked] Take yer crystals, incense, and bad karma, and go back to kalifornia, before we send you out to detassle a field of corn, so you know what REAL work is, for a change... [:-grumpy]

Then it is probably at the new Hilton which is still downtown near the convention center. The largest hotel in Austin with 800 guest rooms, it's supposed to be really something. It just opened and I haven't seen it yet. It should really be a great place to visit and it is still within a few blocks of 6th street and lots of downtown attractions. Y'all come[:-jump2][:-party][:-propeller][:-sing]
