Default Wanna be a HI...am I nuts?

I submitted by application for membership in NACHI tonight. I have been reading posts on this board for several months now and although I had initially planned on doing this part time initially, things changed when I learned that the company for which I have worked for 24 years announced they were shutting down our plant. My last day is tomorrow, but thankfully I will have a large severance to help out for next 6 months.

I have taken all the state required courses, and test (National Home Inspector Examination), WDI course and tests at Purdue Univ.
Just waiting for my Licenses. Going to Radalink class in June.

I know it won't be easy, but am confident that we will make this thing work with all of the support that is out there....just wanted to thank you all for the knowledge that is generously post on this board.

I will post back in a few months with update.

Thanks - Don Taylor

And for those of you who might be offended by the "pants down" remark,
I was referring to skinny dipping in the river on a hot summer day

What were you thinking?
