I will be there, Orange shirt and all.

Having seen Nick, in action, many times, I can highly recommend this seminar.

Slow times for all, but this is the cure.

Hope this helps;

Make him go last.

I should mention for the uninitiated, this is in no way a knock on Will. In Chicago, the last presenter has a special privilege.

In these times, I have made very good business with inspections other than the usual, pre-purchase inspections:

Thermal Imaging can lead to inspections for:
  • Energy Audits
  • Water Intrusion (very lucrative, given all the glaciers that have been building up on the local roofs)
  • Condo Association transition, water intrusion and insulation inspections.
  • Given the new "green" and energy codes, in our area, and the lack of coordination with the people who write and enforce the local building codes, there is a real bug market for GCs and contractors who do not have a clue about what this all means to their pocketbook and future work.
  • Finding finished basement leaks (dove tailing into mold and IAQ inspections).
  • GC and contractor inspections wor problems. Did one today, where the builder was concerned because the buyer (big, custom house) was going nuts over one cold room, "leaky windows" and falling wallpaper in the master bedroom. Inspected. the only real problems were:
    • The 'cold room" was a result of a) HVAC air flow 1/2 of the rest of the house in this room. Just balance the system. GC has the HVAC sub do this. No cost to GC.
    • The "cold room" had a masonry fireplace with an exterior air intake (out the back). The owner removed the sealed glass front to this fireplace and had cold air infiltration.
    • The owner has been running the humidifiers at 55%, while the outside temps were in the low double and single digits. OF COURSE they will get condensation on the walls and windows. Can I get a "DUH"?
  • And many more.
Want a Power Point? How much time to I have? 2 hours, 3?
