ASHI's President doesn't get it. Mandating education does not equate to higher fees.

I know exactly how to triple CMI's fees and double everyone else's in 2007. And no, I'm not going to whine about ASHI's candidate diploma mill, 101 home inspection schools and patty-cake licensing being the problems we have to solve. My multi-fold solution will work despite those problems. Start a new thread if you want. Or maybe lets hold a meeting in FL (the center of gravity for most of this thinking) and let's just get 'er done.

I want to be the poster boy for tripled CMI fees.

Ahhh Roy.. The answer to your ? is quite simple.
ASHIs BB is mostly dediciated to HIs expanding their HI knowelge. If you are looking for a little preview prior to spending you $s to learn from the best, A perfect example is what goes on at Inspectorsjournal.com, or inspectionnews.com


NACHIs BB is just another form of the National Inquirer. I read both, believe one, to keep well informed on all sides, if you notice when I post for the most time it's usually about the time the wife turns the TV to general hospital.

Oh yea there are a few times a few eye brows get raised on the ASHI BB and a topic will get a little exciting/ lean to the NI side, usually it starts with a honest concern about the deteriation of our profession and a ASHI- NACHI member will get a few excited by claiming [ to no success ]ole NIcky is doing something good for our profession then all heck breaks loose for a couple days

I gotta admit one of my must read daily posts on the NACHI BB is keeping up with whats happening north of the boarder and what the dang non NACHI heathen inspectors there are up to.

Hey Roy.. I forgot to mention... I notice that you claim NACHI is here to help all inspectors.. How about giving me a green box, as latety a few of your members don't agree with that and they gave me red boxes.. putting me back in the balck with ole bushy.

(" ASHIs BB is mostly dediciated to HIs expanding their HI knowelge ")
OH! I get it you mean censorship ,Yes ASHI NORTH does the same thing,
I think tht's a poor way to treat the membership.

This is a strange thing you say about (" north of the boarder and what
the non NACHI heathen inspectors there are up to ") They happen to be the Northern Branch of ASHI .
I find it sort of ironic that you would talk about your Northern relatives that way.
I find it sort of silly you come here to get your jollies when you know you can not put on your ashi BB the things you put here.
I guess you like being able to come to NACHI so you can have your fix.
Some people its Booze, others it drugs, and for Dan it is come to NACHI and say silly things .
Gee It hurts me to you say Heathen Inspectors .
I know a large % of these Inspectors in OAHI/CAHPI and they are good Inspectors and most do great inspections.

Gee I guess it's that old story ,
you reap what you sew . Be the way you are an reap what you deserve

Maybe I misread all the bashing.. I just assumed from what I read daily all non nachi members are out to destroy all nachi members,, this assuring that non nachi members surely not go to nachi heaven with nick and his followers.

I guess this is just another one of get a little information and think you know it all, Not the best way to go through life .
This is not the way I see it ,the Non NACHI Home Inspectors are no different in Canada then they are in the USA .
Many great Home Inspectors and some not quite up to par yet.
I do not think that
(" all non nachi members are out to destroy all nachi members ") ,
This is just another of your silly ideas .
Do you lose much sleep with dreaming up you silly thoughts .

Could that be thought of as bashing as well.....in a cloak and dagger type of way.

I will put my electrical education classe and knowledge up against anything ASHI has to offer...and I know from what ASHI people have told me at my seminars. And I am very sure the same goes for Gerry's and William's and all the other guys on here that do education classes.......

I actually am offended by that statement........YOU have obvioulsy NO idea what goes into bringing educational classes to members outside of the instructors local area....How about the time away from family, the risk of travel, the economic loss that could come from being away from the office.....now....not withstanding the other areas of this board....are you saying the part of the NACHI boards devoted to answering questions is not offering top quality answers and support.......shame on you...thats simply not correct.

You can take your argument to NICK and NACHI......but I be damned if you are going to trash the educational value guys like myself offer and the time we put into this.......from what I hear you are an intelligent fellow.....lets not BLOW it now by bashing people TRYING to do good things simply because you have a bug up your butt about NICK........

While you have a right to an opinion.....so do we and I had a CHOICE where I lay my flag and NACHI was it........and I dont regret it at all.....NICK has always done what he says he is going to do when it comes to me....and I am not alone.......

So...please if you wish to direct your grief with NICK...so be it...but get your facts straight on the educational part...I know.......I have BEEN their !

What a poor way to go through life get a small sample and become an expert . You just said you assumed and this shows how you seem to get much of your information . Incidentally assumed comes from the word assume . to brake this down just a little more .
Assume makes an ***** u an me
I would say Dan why not just try for a while to look at things just a little different and you might see just how Happy and intelligent we NACHI members are .
Some of us have seen the ASHI side and now see how great NACHI is.
Try it you might like it . Come on in The waters fine.

In my opinion yes ASHI is an association rich in membership benefits but unfortunately their BB isn't one of them. NACHI has (and as long as we have Chris Morrell as our Webmaster) the best board yesterday, today & tomorrow.

NACHI is so far advanced that anyone who wanted to compete would need to shell out millions to equal the technology we have here and by then we will have advanced again.

Everyday my hat goes off to Chris and what he has accomplished here, I am sure all associations are envious of our technological ability, there is no denying that this is where NACHI reigns supreme.
