Anyone else planning to attend the event? I've had the same thought bouncing around in my head. I meant to make it a couple years back and had to skip it. You may see me there for the same reason. Look for the guy hobbling in on a cobalt blue snowboard and a metal-flake silver helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintergreen, which is pretty nice, but can get quite busy on weekends is a mere ninety minutes away. The ultimate in our area is Snowshoe, which is truly an amazing snow magnet with 57 slopes. Last season they got about fourteen feet of natural snow and had an amazing extended season. It's well situated to minimize icy conditions and had it's share of powder this past season. The down-side, it's a BRUTAL four hour drive, half of which is endless mountain switchbacks that can put a tired snowboarder to sleep on the way home. It's a rough drive.

Jim Morrison Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I'm not going, but Bill Kibbel's lectures should not be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I'm not going, but Bill Kibbel's lectures should not be missed. Jim's just sayin' that because of the skirt and heels I wore to his chapter's seminar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Actually, I said that in spite of your too short skirt and obviously mismatched bag & shoes. But seriously, Bill's presentation is not only very informative, but a real treat if you like old houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgbinspect Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Dear Tri-ASHI In light of rumors of Mr. Kibbels's alleged poor judgment in fashion, I must respectfully decline your invitation to attend your seminar, unless you can convince him to make exception - a ball room gown, perhaps, with elegant costume jewelry would be so much more in keeping with a presentation on historic homes. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this ever so appropriate small detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Any web site with info on it? If Bill is speaking it would be worth the trip. Perhaps we can meet up here Mike??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspectorjoe Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Any web site with info on it? If Bill is speaking it would be worth the trip. Perhaps we can meet up here Mike??? I couldn't find much on the net. Just this: Tri-State Seminar Maybe Bill can post something with more info. I did get an email containing the details. I forwarded it to you. I think I'm going to go. For me, it's less than 60 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Identifying Any web site with info on it? If Bill is speaking it would be worth the trip. Perhaps we can meet up here Mike???Identifying I couldn't find much on the net. Just this: Tri-State Seminar Maybe Bill can post something with more info. There's just a little more info here: http://tristateashi.org/seminar.php It looks like they're just starting to put the page together. Here's an excerpt of what I gave them to submit for state CEU credits: INSPECTING OLD BUILDINGS Masonry Materials and properties - Brick, Stone, Terra cotta, Cast stone, Mortar Identifying above ground masonry problems and failures Identifying below ground (foundation) problems and failures Chimneys Wood Framing Types & their materials and properties Timber framing, Balloon Framing, Plank framing Roof structures, Porches, Floor structures, Walls & ceilings, Headers, Stairs Identifying wood damage -Rot, Insect, Alterations, Fire Electrical Old materials and methods, Retrofit issues Heating -Retrofit & installation errors, Venting issues Plumbing -Old materials and methods, Retrofit errors If I have time, I will include some information about old building health & safety issues. This year, my presentations are more focused on things in old buildings that are commonly ignored or missed by contractors and inspectors, that can lead to big issues for their clients.

John Dirks Jr Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I love old houses. When I get in one, I have this urge to pull up a rickity chair, gaze out the window and become engulfed in thought.

mgbinspect Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'm planning to be there. It's three days before my 58th birthday - present to myself. And, Bill has reluctantly agreed to the formal gown. [^] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgbinspect Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well, it's official. I'm booked for the Tri-State ASHI Fall Seminar. Just thought I should give folks ample time to cancel. [:-sonar] Honestly, it would be great to meet TIJ folks there, but it isn't why I'm going. And, I already have an overage of continuing education units, so that isn't why I'm going either. I see Bill Kibbel as probably one of the most knowledgeable guys on historic homes on the planet, because it's his passion. That's why I'm going. And, since I've been meaning to take in one of his presentations for several years and just keep missing him, I'm looking forward to finally getting it done. [:-hspin] INPUT! INPUT!

Google Earth says 128 miles and 2hrs 23mins door to door. No biggie because I like driving. The morning trip will be nicer with the sun up and things to see along the way. I'm looking forward to the seminar and meeting people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't want to - just a matter of economics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
