I may be naive, but I believe that licensing has GOT to be better than what's going on in the industry right now. To that end, I would happily submit (OK...more like 'willingly' submit) to no 'grandfathering'. I've got all the stats that would allow me to be grandfathered (years, # of inspections, training, MRC's, etc) and I'll be honest when I say that it would irritate me to have to go through the process. BUT... If the alternative is all the other 'bucketheads' would also be grandfathered, then I'm willing to take a dose of medicine so that 'they' have to take it too. We've all seen both the newbie inspector and the long-time inspector that doesn't do a professional inspection while they are cranking out 3-5 'inspections' per day. Their 'stats' might look good on paper but its a house of cards. If the penalty for forcing these bucketheads to get training, education and pass a realistic test of their skills (and ethics?), then I will gladly agree to do the same.
