George:
If you don't have a copy of Inspect and Protect, send me your address and I'll send you one free, for being the nicest response to the poll. It will please or depress you, but either way it's free.
Cheers.

Gerry:
You're a twit, of course, but when you talk I and others who wish to learn listen.

Everyone else, thanks for sharing.

Kinda funny that I helped change a few things in this book, but NO recognition.....Remember Nick, Russell, and ??? Tom I think. If you think about it we were at the ITA convention and I noticed some deficencies about the Swimming Pool section and the Fireplace section that should be updated, this is when the book was still in its pre-production stage.

I swear I have no recollection of this, which doesn't mean it didn't happen. I did make some changes to the pool page before the first printing (probably thanks to you) I'm most appreciate of positive criticism, and always acknowledge it. Please call me. I'm doing an inspection in the morning but will be home after 1pm. (81 363-0176. Thanks. The 3rd edition has not yet gone to print, and i'd be delighted to acknowldege your contribution.
PS. The area code is: eight-one-eight.

Paul, you are absolutely correct. I recall being pressed to "get it done" while we were there (which did eat into the 'personal" time we like to enjoy at such events) . . .

I fervently believe in acknowleding those who aided in the production of the manual. I called Paul, but couldn't reach him. I have just finished talking with Russell, and we exchanged information about which we were both unaware. Now the truth is known, we are both satified, and Russell will recieve the public acknowledgement he would have recieved were I aware of his contribution.
Like Mark Twain, I can lie but I won't. Thanks, Russell, and look for my public thank-you in the next edition.
PS. I spelled out the area code because my computer automatically inserts a a smiley face.

Keith, I appreciate your quick response, and I can easily understand the resultant confusion!
Best of furtune in the 3rd Edition, and in all endeavours . . .

I have been including them in a binder. People love them. Very good addition to my business. Keep the holes.
Thanks
