Robert OConnor Eagle Engineering & Inspections User: roconnor NACHI Member: Yes Location: East Northport, NY Posts: 1936 Right now online education is the priority, but I would like to develop a Technical Links and Research section as a long range plan. Organized by major topic/system, and then possibly sub-systems. Then if someone has a question they can research that topic with the technical links ... or it could be linked to answer a question on the BB. Just an idea ... and could members please post any good technical links related to this first "beta" links listing by posting it here (and I will keep updating the topic for additional good links) ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ STRUCTURE General HI Books & Manuals The Complete Book of Home Inspection, by Norman Becker (general) ...

Go to your member log in page (http://www.nachi.org/login.htm ... or just click the "Members-Only Log In" icon on the top right of the page), log in, and then click on "Technical Library and Links" with the following icon.
