It'll be billed as a protective membrane.....

FLIR One is 80x60. Pro is 160x120. 4X increase. There was a firmware bug that made it tell fibs about the remaining battery life. Firmware update became available on 10/10 according to FLIR. (I don't have one..... Just did some reading on Amazon.)

I know. I know. Resurrecting an old thread, but.... Has anyone's opinion changed on this? Have detectors become more applicable to the job? I'm looking at a couple, but not completely sold on them. Problem being... my nose doesn't pick up on odors well.

Is there a ballot initiative in Texas? It'd be nice if you could "lobby" the voters directly and bypass the powers that be.

Objective. <====<<< becomes a noun at some point.....

I ran into an agent that pretty much said that I would work for her. Had to smile and say that the client pays, and pays for a product of a certain quality and accuracy. The look I got back wasn't pretty.

Your Manual of Style... how's that coming along?

I read, recently, that OREP also has group medical plans. 11 from Kaiser.... Do any of you use OREP for this purpose? How do you go about personal medical coverage?

"we'll get to that later, Marge...." But hey, did it test out okay???

Saw one of these in downtown Seattle, in a Big-5 conversion. The assembled monstrosity was supported by large concrete pillars, block wall and posts. The buildings walls were brick. The conversion was within the basement and three stories above. As you go up a level, the supports become fewer. Very strange.

My wife and I had a lot of good laughs on this one. Sure would be a ballsy undertaking to crawl under that thing. Don't do it on a windy day....

Yup. Nothing less than P-100. Love the pink....

Three of those windows look like the sashes were actually cut to account for the angles. Amazing. Foundation is going to roll out from under it at some point.

11" inches? That a helluva fit. I've not gone through an entrance that tight, but I've slithered under water pipes that brushed my chest rather snugly. I think you get points for that one. Did you drag much with you into that space?

Haha! I made use of this operating method at a restaurant recently. My wife and I have issues with some of the bright, low-hanging lighting we find locally. In this case, I used a napkin.

Nice little home for critters..... soft bedding and all

We pulled the brick facade off our place while doing termite damage removal. Had to get into the wall below the level of the bricks, which came to just under the window. When we finally got enough courses removed, we discovered that the jutting out room was a cantilever arrangement. At least the original installation hid the fact.

"Functioning as ANYthing (intended, designed, advertised)" is nothing more than just "functioning". I suppose a furnace could be installed improperly, yet still warm the building without CO sharing airspace with the residents. It's "functioning", doing its bit as a furnace, but that can have little or nothing to do with a proper installation. I'm new to this, but that strikes me as a BS phrase designed to make someone sound high brow. And, apparently, in some places it is functioned and intended..

A resurrected thread, so I'll bite. I use HostGator for a few sites and rarely have issues. I think in the last 5 or 6 years, I've been down twice? BlowDaddy has been the bane of some of my friends for years. They move along when their limits are reached.

I'm guessing the steam /water mass serves as a heat repository. Slows cooling in the room when it cycles off. Iron body helps with that. The add says the coil is good for 15-20 years. If it was stored empty, maybe the thing survived? But geeez, $57 in 1948.... If the radiator didn't whistle, the buyer sure did seeing the price.

Sure enough, junk will be shoved in there and the run will be forgotten. Over time, it'll look like a mouse chewed on it.

Those were some eye-opening posts. Thank you. Down here in California, the "system", in general, has been tuned to favor money interests for a long time. It's quite the surprise when something common sense comes from Sacramento. For guys like me, getting into the business has plenty of hurdles. One of them is the bad light powered up by HIs, experienced or otherwise, that just don't care to learn, stay current, or do good work. One jerk can ruin the good efforts of many responsible people. I don't know how it will turnout. My take on it is that this will be in the works for a couple years, maybe longer. Nothing will happen in this session. Gov Brown has his insane agenda that occupies his time and that of his whips. As for HIs and associations banding together? I'm too new to even begin to imagine how the industry thinks about these things. But that recounting of the WA effort was a good read. I lived there for most of 2016 and the early part of 2017. One more thing to love about the state. I miss it.

Just a quick update. Passed PHII's basic course, and I'm off to the advanced. It's not required by CREIA, but I want it. The basic course had some very rough areas in it, and some quiz question answers differed from the lesson material. But hey, I'm through it. I'm joining CREIA in a couple weeks, and got started on the business formation side of things. A note on CREIA. Recently, an $800 inspection in Livermore resulted in some nasty business and, as a result, the "state" is looking at regulating the industry. I called CREIA to see if they would have a hand in guiding the process and the rep said yes. It looks like joining up with them will be a plus when it comes time to for California HIs to present themselves as legitimate. All other aspect of their businesses being on the up and up, aligning with this association seems to be a good idea.

That is one heck of a good way to look at it. I hope I find an inspector with your philosophy when it comes time for my ride along.

Hi guys, I'll be opening in a couple months, and I'm getting my E&O and liability sorted out. The above listed companies do pretty much the same? Do any stand apart from the rest?
