So far, so good...

And I'm DEFINATELY in agreement with you, and I've found the NACHI message board of immense value.
Thank you for all you do Dale,

Ahh..Steve..that would be a GOOD idea to belong to a networking group, I wish there were 30+ hours in a day...!!!

But maybe I should make the time since I have heard nothing but positive feedback regarding belonging to such groups, I have been asked in the past but never had the time to go to a meeting, probably would be a big plus if I did.

Thanks Steve..!!

While I don't have any plumbing contractors either, my clients often find just as much help by me advising them to beware of certain ones I know are "less than upstanding".

If I can help them stay away from a bad experience, they often feel that is just as much help or better.

By the way Dale,

Thanks for leading in the right direction.
I remember the good old days as well.

Dale,
I am slowly building a list (since I've only lived here for < 2 years). I do a lot of draw inspections and deal with builders all the time it seems. I've gotten to the point that I personally know several of them and have picked their brains for subs. But even still, they have troubles finding the "golden" sub that actually does what they need to do, and on time for a fair price.

One of my current draws is a remodel in the historic part of Atlanta, it's just 2 brothers that strictly deal with historic remodels. I realized that these 2 guys deal with their subs much more closely than a builder does. So I'm slowly building the relationship with them.

I'd like to be able to get at the point of having a "sub" team that I can call especially for commerical inspections, as you do. I'm slowly getting there.

The link above takes you to the article on the last home they did. Watch the videos and read the story, it's pretty interesting. These guys have also done some shows for HGTV. Pretty good guys! It's amazing they don't do any advertising or marketing, it's all referral and they have one helper that works with them.

If so, and they are good....thank you!!

Could have been these guys Dale. As you reminded me this afternoon how OLD I am , it is hard to remember.

Had them repipe the PB main in pex, they were good and quick.

2000 sq/ft house here in the phoenix about $3000.00 or so, one to three days should be about right.

Thanks man...I will also have a friend of mine call them who had two quotes to install a pressure reducing valve, one quote for $789.00 and the other for $1000.00...what's does a PRV cost these days, 75 bucks?, and an hour to install outside by the main shutoff valve next to the garage (in the shade)--- .....unreal, I think we are in the wrong business----

What are you trying to do, mess up a good thing?
Great comments at the start of this thread Dale. Totally agree, also in a licensed state, the only reason I joined Nachi was to learn from shared experience and expertise of others.

This tip is just for Dale, you can use a car/truck floor mat for a ladder pad.

Not if the piece of JUNK is in two pieces---!!!!

My attorney has the ladder now........I will not be needing any floor mats
or ladder pads for that particular brand of ladder anytime in the near future---
