Commercial inspections on NACHI.TV

[Kenton H. Shepard, CMI]

I assume there'll be CD's of the episodes for sale.
I'd like to suggest the William Tell Overture as the theme song. It's time to give that tune new meaning.

"Bank job in the city, Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me.

Sitting till the sun goes down,
in dreams the world keep going round and round."

J. Lynne/ELO 1974

My submission for the opening credits theme.

"The facility, due to open in 2006..." OK - there's still 27 days left.....

[Nick Gromicko]

Been open for months. Been filming for weeks.

Filming? The post indicated that this is an on-site, hands-on center offering commercial classes. Guess the purpose/intent has totally changed?

The purpose of the facility is to provide real hands-on training to inspectors who wish to learn how to perform complete and accurate inspections and cost estimating on commercial buildings such as multi-story office buildings, restaurants, warehouses, strip malls, condominiums, apartments and even skyscrapers.

The new facility will provide commercial inspection training for free to all NACHI members. NACHI members can express an interest in registering for the opening classes by emailing Nick with their mailing address and requesting more information about this new commercial inspection center.

Count me in for the free classes. I'd like more info please.

[jmichalski]

I think there might be substantial interest in a hands-on, free class in commercial inspections.

Oh most definitely! I'll be there with bells on.

Correct. I simply can't move a commercial building around the world so as to train all our members as easily as I can produce a series of training shows on NACHI.TV and email them all the link. Each show in the series will have a link to a message board thread so that the instructor can answer live questions.

With NACHI.TV I can reach more members, train more members, let them watch it over and over, let them watch it when they want, let them watch it from wherever they want, let them ask questions, let them hear the answers to fellow student's questions, and do it all for free to NACHI members.

Beats the big city block sized creeper idea, no?

I think it's an incredible benefit. It's going to help insure that NACHI members don't remain stagnant, but rather are always growing and becoming better trained and the best educated in the world.

People can make fun of how inspectors come into this org all they want, but if they would look deeper they would see that the organization isn't just sitting and taking their money. It's a starting point for a lifetime career if the inspector will just avail themselves of every opportunity.

Sounds ok by me Nick, but if it has been filming for months, why did Gerry start this thread asking if he should do a commercial inspection series for NACHI tv?

[jmichalski]

Also, Gerry's proposed series sounds like a very basic course. I had hopes that the hands-on, live thing would be much more in-depth. What level of information is contained in teh series currently being filmed?

[Nick Gromicko]

Because Gerry only announced his desire to do it last week. I'd much rather have Gerry's footage.

Just gauging opinion here, Nick and I have been discussing me doing a small series of shows for NACHI tv covering commercial inspections, maybe 4, 1/2 hours shows covering the various aspects and the differences between residential and commercial.

Yeah or Nay?

Regards

Gerry

Very good idea! Go for it.

When is Gerry doing the T.V. commercials?
