randynavarro Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 John, I see you have a link to Consumer Reports magazine on your website. On your site you state that "Consumer Reports recommends NACHI Inspectors". I checked the link and the small blurb printed in Consumer Reports and it has a link to NACHI. I don't think this is a recommendation. Isn't this a bit mis-leading to the consumer? ****Portions of this post contained inappropriate content and were deleted by the moderator**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip #29 in Consumer Report's new guide recommends hiring a NACHI inspector exclusively and to find one at nachi.org You will have to talk to Consumer Report if you have an issue with their publication and their choice to print a recommendation for NACHI home inspectors. **** Portions of this post contained inappropriate content and were deleted by the moderator**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Alrighty then. Getting back to the idea of what would make this a more credible profession. This probably will offend a few folks and if it does I'm sorry. There are physical requirements to be a State Trooper. The folks that do the hiring know for sure that if the troopers aren't fit and fast, they'll likely get their ass kicked. Here's my suggestion for home inspectors. If you can't climb off the top of your ladder through a 14x18 inch attic scuttle, I can't see how you can do your job well. Question #37 on the ultimate home inspector test should be a directive: go squeeze through that hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozofprev Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 That's funny and true. It's also a great segue out of the muck - hope it works. BTW, perhaps question #37 on the MASTER inspector test would require you to place your hands on the sides of the opening, press and lift your body up into the attic so you don't have to do it all from the ladder.

One does tend to wonder @ the physical capability of most folks doing the job. When you go to the conference(s), lottsa folks look like they could pop a vein simply getting out of the car. I'm going to pray for all of us to be saved. When I get the receipt from God that it's been taken care of, I'll get back to all y'all......

Les Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 It is Friday afternoon and it seems we made it on this thread for a few days and then POW! someone seems to think they must defend Nick. I don't recall anyone really picking on him, just one of the "faithful" defending him. I know Nick, great guy. Not a home inspector. To stay on topic; how many NACHI members were present at ASTM meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Fabry Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 One thing I could never understand is when moderators delete posts for homonym attacks. It seems perfectly allowable to engage in verbal banter using homonyms as clever weapons. But nooo, in the past I've seen things edited or deleted for homonym attacks and also for the attackers failing to use correct homonym logic. Words that are particularly egregious include : Bank and bank. There, their and they're and so forth and so fourth. Other words that cause homonym attacks are butt and but. So don't be a horse's butt and engage in homonym attacks. What's that?...Huh? ...ad hominem? Oh Then never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that you do not know the full content. Your policy of deleting personal emails is understood and accepted by me. Thanks. I was responding to the previous posters comments about my religion and I will know from this time forward to not respond to those kinds of post in the future. I realize now that you would have deleted his comments to begin with and I had no need to respond. Thanks again. I have had Scott follow me around other forums and he has had his post deleted in time past for this same kind of thing. So I am not suprised.

Not everything printed on paper has a duplicate posted on the internet. To imply that it was never published, when you can see a picture of the finished product is really grasping for straws. Mr Gromicko seems to provoke unfounded speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
