Fellow Home Inspector

[John A. Umpleby, CMI]

Ran into a home inspector this week and got chatting with him he was a rhi and a national certification member here in canada, he claims he knows everything there is to know about home inspecting....I used to drive a big truck in the forces and we used to say when you brag that you know everything about driving the truck its time to hang up your keys before ya kill someone..Wonder if it should apply in this case?

[Vince Santos]

You mean you can know all there is to know??
I guess continuing education is worthless.

[Scott Gilligan, CMI]

He may claim to know everything there is to know...but can he remember it all at once?

Was he a young man? I knew everything, too, when I was in my twenties. I couldn't understand why no one called me to ask me stuff...I had all the answers.

Looks like things haven't changed much in 40 years.

Reminds me of the saying - A legend in his own mind!

[John A. Umpleby, CMI]

Ha, Ha, Ha. He was about 55-59 years old quite the talker knew everything about everything had a story for just about all that he said. God love him.

ohh funny and way to true.

[Jae Williams]

I'm 70-something and I don't know everything.

There are just two more things to go, and then I'll know everything.

[Greg Keene]

I am with you Jae - I do have all the answers - but sometimes they don't ask the questions that match my answers - What can you do!

Hey John! That guy, did he talk a lot about Sarnia ?
