Default I'm typing this from Orlando Home Inspector licensing meeting.

About 200 in attendance.

We took a poll at the meeting by raising hands. Nearly every attendee (about 185 members) with exception of a few inspectors is a member of InterNACHI!

Wow! Great InterNACHI turn out!

I count about 75 members wearing InterNACHI T-shirts.

Another GC just testified that InterNACHI's online education is better than any classroom course they've taken.

Nick remember: If you are an inspector now you should be an inspector tomorrow. Grandfather in period. Come July 10, 2010 we shall continue the business.

And another GC testifying similarly. It's become the "InterNACHI has the best education" event.

An inspector correctly arguing that the state should not adopt a set SOP.

Department explaining that if they adopt an SOP it will not favor ASHI or InterNACHI particularly.

Former ASHI President Mark Cramer testified that InterNACHI's online education should be accepted toward the 120 hour requirement.

I hate it when I'm forced to agree with an ASHI Pres.

Mark also eloquently and correctly argued that General Contractors should be viewed as a distinct profession from home inspectors.

He asked a great question "If GCs get to be grandfathered as HIs, do HIs get to be grandfathered as GCs?"

Despite "Number of inspections" and "Number of years in business" NOT appearing at all in the law, speakers are still asking how they prove they've been in business for 3 years. Aaaagh!

Contractors in FL for most licenses have to prove three or fours years employment in the field prior to getting a license.
