There is still a little time to get registered. Also note location change on the web site.

Just got done printing out multiple PDF files for use in the course.

I have also added content dealing with new home construction of Post and Beam (being built in Chicago, fer’ gosh sakes!) and a special treat from fellow NACHI member, Steve, in Washington, who has graciously agreed to share his photos.

NACHI helping NACHI. What a concept. :mrgreen:

Cool! :cool:

I’m also looking for people to weigh in on this subject in the members only section: http://www.nachi.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12312

Room for a few more participants before we pull the plug on registrations!
