inspector57 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Interesting. Might I suggest when using and auto focus camera to back up and use the zoom for close ups. Most cameras have a 1.5 to 3' limit to their focus in the auto setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantJones Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Well it would be tough after that to say "signs of damage, likely due to wood-destroying insects. See a licensed exterminator..." What did you do for the clients? Tell them were termites, or just show them the video and let them decide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbinspect Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 What's particularly fun, if you have a few moments, is breaking a tube and watching the workers show up and rebuild the tube. Yeah, I don't get out much.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't get out much.... Here's one from two weeks ago. The elapsed time is serveral hours, probably because we have union termites here.

If we inspectors had a union, there would be 1 inspection per day with (2) 15 minute breaks and a lunch. That's when the profession 'matures' of course...
