Thanks James. I work for AmeriSpec here the Toronto area. I don’t know any details and haven’t heard anything on this side of the line, but I’ll see what I can dig up.

See these books all the time in the box stores.

:)Wow, thanks James.

That’s going to cost someone some heavy money. Like the guy that wrote it I guess.

Jim,

You and I have had our differences. This is clear and evident on this board.

But, I gotta give kudos where they are, very well, deserved. You seem to be a MONSTER (in a good way) for surfing the web and finding really great info.

I (for now ) bow at the feet of a MASTER inspector.

Thanks, guy. Good find!

Publishing ID and dates match up on our books, so looks like this is across Canada too.

Here is a book which has stood the test of time and deserves to be in every home inspectors library.

Audel Practical Electricity, All New 5th Edition

Great books Joe.

I had my first set of Five back in 1967, wish I could find them.
