First let me say thank you to Inspectors Journal for this great forum which I have just discovered. I really look forward to learning more about this industry as I am considering becoming a home inspector in the future. Speaking of infra-red (see earlier topic) I think I know the company that Aaron mentioned, Homesafe Inspection. My brothers may buy a Homesafe franchise in Houston, I saw the company's demo here myself last month, and was really psyched about it. There are two franchises in Okla. already and my brothers met with them....they are brothers too! They said it has been successful for them and got them write ups in their newspapers. Homesafe has infra-red photos on their web site, www.homesafeinspection.com/sights.php. But not being a home inspector myself, just an interested bystander, I don't know much about the technical side of it. Just my two cents worth. I do think it's exciting.
