hausdok Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Vancouver, B.C. - According to a March 27th CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) newscast, a report by the B.C. government's Homeowner Protection Office says consumers are being left unprotected when they hire a home inspector. This, despite the fact that the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (CAHPI) has been lobbying that same government hard for years to regulate the profession.

hausdok Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Has anyone looked at or listened to any of the news clips that I've linked to the two posts above yet? If not, you really should. There's some very interesting dialog there. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgbinspect Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I tried a different post that was supposed to play a videa and it didn't work either. I thought maybe it was my laptop and didn't think anymore about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce55 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Thanks Mike. I have seen the same links on another canadian chat line and couldn't get in to them there either.As a OAHI member and one who is following the national certification initiative I would be very interested in hearing the clip.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Chew Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 You need to use Real Player to play those audio and video files (.ram file extension). You can get it here for free: http://www.real.com/ A suggestion: pay close attention during the install process, so it doesn't install a lot of junk you don't want, or change all your media file associations to Real player. I set it to only play the Real file extensions, while keeping my Windows Media Player and Jukebox settings the way they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n/a30 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I totally agree with the newcast's call for higher standards on inspectors. The same thing can be said of much the US market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
