Hey Guys,
I am thinking of doing a book titled : "The GURU Guide to passing the ICC Electrical Exam " I dont need comments on the title...lol.......just if you think a book giving you everything you need to pass this exam would be helpful and something needed. Many inspectors are adding certifications to their resume' so what do you think. I already know MUNI's want it but figured I would see what my NACHI brothers and sisters have to say. Paul W.

There is so much on line education I have never viewed that I must must admit getting around to book buying a exam passing guide ,is low priority to myself at this point.

Do not get me wrong as I am sure the market is there as long as there are guys taking exams. I was only giving personal need as you requested. How many or what percentage of HI"s need it I have no idea. One thing I know ,is that you are very good at simplification of complex electrical issues . Personally I feel that if the market is there you will do fine based on my experience with you on this forum. |

Thanks Robert....I do welcome the opinions and yours is VERY valued. I am kinda just allowing the ones ( you all ) that I value the most to give me feedback on if this type of book would be needed. I did read one out their and it was not very well done which is what gave me the idea.

Hi, Paul, and I think you might be on to something and as usual it is and will be helpful to some.
I think it might serve Members that were electricians before becoming Home Inspectors. I was just a dumb Carpenter so I need something for Dumbies. ha. ha. I have found this link that was most useful for electrical handicapp like myself. It states the Code section, but also Narrates what it is about, and that is the part I like to add on a report and the code section would only be back-up since we are not Code Enforcers. So something like that would be more useful in inspecting a regular house on the electrical part of it. Maybe you have something similar all ready. http://www2.ci.plymouth.mn.us/pls/co...INSPECTION.PDF As usual, thank you for all you do.

Go for it Paul!
I'd be interested in buying your book. As much as I pester you on some of the installations I see all the time, your vast source of knowledge would help with the many of the answers I search for. Be it in book form or other , having a helpful guide is having more "ammo" for my own knowledge. I will most likely encounter another challenge to my "observations" by some grumpy "contractor". |

I love the idea of a new book Paul, were you thinking of it being a murder mystery or a biography?
Just kidding Mate BTW, when are we starting the signing tour to promote our last literary masterpiece?
