Yes sir!

And, Thank you sir!

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Cool graphics Nick, thanks.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Just a note for those that take this course;

The printed Certificate indicates Credit Hours : 4

When entered in the CE Log Credit Hours shown as 3

So if it happens to others we will need to look into it I guess.

[Nick Gromicko]

I lowered the CE credits from 4 to 3 after seeing how long it was taking inspectors to complete. I'll get cert updated on Monday

[Marcel R. Cyr]

I thought it was generous for the time it took me.

[Mario A. Kyriacou, CHI]

In the support posts Graphics area.. footings.... I think there is a mistake in the text.
See the graphic that references disturbed soil and the footing. Something to the effect of footings are allowed on disturbed soil?? Shouldn't it state "undisturbed" soil..

[Nick Gromicko]

No, it says that the footing in the graphic may not be on undisturbed soil (no way to tell).

I could change it to "The footing in the graphic might not be on undisturbed soil" if that would make it clearer.

Pat,

I stumbled on that also. If I recall, it continues on to state that it is unlikely to find undisturbed soil close to the home foundation. Still, could be confusing to someone not knowledgeable about this.

[Patrick Bolliger]

So in other words: The footing maybe ON disturbed soil..

Clear as mud...Disturbed or other wise

[Nick Gromicko]

Confusion comes from "may be" meaning "might be" being confused with "permitted."

Changing "may be" on undisturbed soil to "might be" on undisturbed soil removes this confusion I believe.

Thanks.
