Have worked in the software industry for 30 years and am plain tired of sitting all day long. I am in Texas and have found a training facility that will help with getting the required by TX laws, which BTW I agree with. Don't know if anyone knows the company but it's called AHIT. They seems like a decent place and they are close to me in the Dallas area. If you do know anything good/bad I would appreciate it before I spend quite a bit of money on the training. For the past year or more I have been reading every Home Inspection type book I can find, and there are quite of few of them. I am not a total idiot with handyman type stuff and have been maintaining my home for the past 20 years. I am interested in this type of work as it's outside and as I would be my own company not having a 'boss' is appealing. I have also saved enough case to last a couple of years without working, no help to the economy! Also any recommendations of software to use as there is again a ton of that stuff out there. Is there a favorite within the industry, one that many guys in here use? Thanks and hopefully this posting is not too generic for the group. I spent hours reading various posts today and found them enlightning to say the least! Thanks! Jim
