Need some input...

If they include EIFS certification that would not be to bad.

Thank you for doing that.

environmental liability does not interest me in the slightest(with the exception of radon). If I by chance miss something structural or mechanical, I can fix it myself. If I dont find mold behind sheetrock and someone gets sick, I am bankrupt. The only people that should be inspecting for mold and other environmental conditions are 4 year degree industrial hygeneists IMO.

Thanks from me too David. Don't know you personally, but proud of you all the same.

[dlawrence]

First and formost thank you for your support of the troops. It is because of you and this country that we proudly continue to do our job the best we can.

Next, Thanks for the responses. I am think about this decision from other angles that I didn't see before such as liability issues. It is always nice to get a new prospective on things. Your inputs are appreciated.

I will let you know more as I receive it.

Again, Thank you

Dave

As a fellow military member I am in the same boat for retirement. Good luck out there and keep your head down. It looks like I will be going at the end of November for tour #3.

My prayers are with you and your family. In my type of work i.e. the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, we keep our head on a swivel. Thank you for your thoughts and you keep your head down. Sound like you will be going to a place a bit more dangerous than I am.

Are you reserve or active?

I have never heard of the group that is sending you info. I would suggest looking into Enviromrntal Solutions Association (ESA). They are teamed with NACHI and Pro-Lab. Training is cheaper and it is in conjunction with NACHI.

I took the allergen course recently and it was very good. It is my understanding that ESA will be doing all of the training that Pro-Lab was doing before (somebody let me know if I'm wrong here as I heard it through the grapevine).

I got a call from ESA about a year ago. They talked me into getting a DVD course for mold certification. They told me I would save thousands in lab fees, materials and insurance. After not hearing from them for over a week, I e mailed them back and cancelled. Weeks later I got the course in the mail. I returned it to them and asked for a refund. They told me they would not be able to extend a refund to me. I had to call several times and get a supervisor and give them a copy of the e mail I sent cancelling the order before it was even shipped. They eventually refunded my money, but gave me nothing but grief.

I got a call from them as well. When I did a Google Search on Rich Finigan that ESP advertises as the #1 home inspector in the country, I got this link to a previous thread on this forum.
