Re: INACHI Technical Library
Not sure I ever had looked... til now.
BTW, anyone who is a newer inspector (or older for that matter). I thought Rex Cauldwell's book was good. Still have it somewhere (nearly 10 years I think). Covers a lot of good points.

Re: INACHI Technical Library
Yes Nick,
that is why I include it in mine. I still have to add a couple hundred of them. I have them filed in the Divisions of the AIA. 1-16 Just don't have enough time to do it.
