Download Attachment: alumwire.pdf 409.59 KB What are your opinions on this one? Do you have any others to suggest? That's an excellent article but it's slightly out of date. For one thing, Douglas doesn't work for ITA anymore. More important, since that article was written, Alumiconn connectors have come on the scene. http://www.kinginnovation.com/press-alumiconn.html They're really *the* answer to aluminum wiring problems. We need to get Douglas to update his article. - Jim Katen, Oregon
Neal Lewis Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 John, my opinion is that the article has a lot of great information- for a home inspector. I think the average house buyer would give up reading after a half page. I would limit the article to one or two paragraphs for an inspection report. I don't have a suggestion for a different article.
John Dirks Jr Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 Come to think of it, I am looking for the kind of info intended for clients. Just a general explanation of the issues and stuff. I'm also a big fan of the one page PDF's. I'll keep looking. Maybe someone will have some other suggestions.
Tom Raymond Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 John, How often do your clients ask for that kind of stuff? I can't imagine dumping more info on mine, I try pretty hard to keep my narrative under 20 pages so that my report actually gets read. Tom

It's just to have it on hand in case I want to provide it. You have a point on keeping the report size to a minumum. That way the important stuff will stand out.
