| Inspection Education & Training This is a general forum for inspectors to discuss their educational experience, and to ask questions of InterNACHI's Education Committee. This forum is dedicated to the memory of InterNACHI member and educator Gerry Beaumont. Gerry was an avid proponent of education for inspectors and will be sorely missed. |

Hi Roy,
I am sure that it would be better to purchase the book if you want a hard copy. I do own a copy of the book and have found it to be very useful. I just happened to be searching for information on a roof problem and ran across the link to the book. Greg Bell Titusville, Fl 02111507 Serving Central Florida

I have this book in my reference library as well. It's a decent book for the money IMO.

I also have this exact book in my library. Found it on Amazon (used but new condition) for $4.95 plus cheap shipping. Good reference book.

One of if not the first commercially available books I bought. Mine is second edition (1993) and has a different cover but it was and still is a pretty good book for someone just starting in the business especially for the money. Basically, anything you can find that helps even a little is beneficial.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill |

I got the same book on Amazon about 2 months ago new for $6.00 or $8.00 dollars plus a very small shipping fee. Added it to my reference material. IMO it is pretty detailed book.

If it is anything like the books from Audell's that I had in the late 60's, it is all worth it. ha. ha.

http://books.google.com/books?id=oej...HCKFZI#PPP1,M1[/quote Nice post Greg, but who is that book for? I have at least 12 books about HI, but they are trivial at best. There is only one way to learn, and thats from folks like you and the rest of the top notch folks on this board. Keep on keepin on.. |

I have the book and think its okay. It has helped me a couple of times. Oddly enough I sometimes find myself referring to the The Complete Guides to home wiring, plumbing, etc. by Black & Decker. It is more for the simple stuff that does not come to mind at the time great photos as well. I don't recommend them for complicated matters however. Actually I get most my questions answered right here on the board......What a great reference this board is!!!!! Anyone ever thought of going through each section of this board and writing a HI Question & Answer Book? I will take a hard copy when made available. There may have been one maybe called The Home Inspector Bible at one time but I am sure it could not compare to the Q&A from this board.
Randy Also have Code Check Complete handy and many more! |
