There you go you proved my point. One of the letters you are missing is a U.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Dear fellow NACHI members,

Since taking control of user account "gilstrachan" in hope of reducing the verbal diarrhea of Raymond and Roy, I have been hoping that this lunacy would be reduced. That sadly has not been the case.

Mysteryman has come up with a way for you express your opinion and participate.

Non-members cannot post polls but ALL can vote on others reputation so here is the plan.

Option 1-
If you think Raymond and Roy should continue as they have been vote gilstrachan's reputation DOWN and Raymond and Roy's UP

Option 2-
If you think Raymond and Roy should shut-up and get a life
vote gilstrachan's reputation UP and Raymond and Roy's DOWN

Let's see what the membership of NACHI really thinks of these two boys antics.

Go to the yellow star at the top of the post to give reputation points.

Speak up NACHI. This is your BB too.

Methinks someone needs to get a life!

Hey Ray... I thought mold wasn't a problem in Canada?

Not good, but think how bad it would have been if it was a NACHI inspector ! The fun they would have had with NACHI's joke of a "online certification test", can you imagine !

I find it hard to believe Nick, that you are defending your requirements compared to those of CAHPI and BCIPI. Yes, both have bad inspectors - but in this case, who the hell pays a home inspector $350.00 for an engineering report? Give me a break, anyone heard of "Visual Inspection", I can get a roofing report, structural report, HVAC report, etc etc., but it going to cost my client alot more then the $400.00 they are paying me.

The public needs to be educated on what a Home Inspection is and it's limits.

This is a slap in the face to all home inspectors, regardless of their affiliation.

Good points Jason Home inspections should or is it shold be $700.00 plus.
The only reason I charge less is because of the overnight whiz kids.
The real crook here is the realtor who recommended his kick back buddy.
If CAPHI is serious about protecting the public interest, they would ban inspectors from taking realtor referrals. Nick So should NACHI.

[Nick Gromicko]

NACHI already does prohibit it. See: http://www.nachi.org/code_of_ethics.htm

Are you accussing CAPHI of permitting it?

[Rob A. Parker]

Nick kick backs are and will continue to happen there are several inspectors in my area I hear give kick backs and nothing is done. The agents love them.

Here, here!

OAHI and CAHPI actively cultivate the Realtors as does Nachi. Seems you can't have one without the other.

Don't get me wrong I like realtors, but like home inspectors they have their share of bad apples.

Don't blame the realtors blame your associations for taking the path of least resistance.

A couple of business names noted on the inspection report in the report piece seems to add some other implications of association. So does a little more digging into the topic. Perhaps all is not what some claim it to be.

I think it would behoove Mr. Buck (defendant in above case) to relocate his liability clause on the second page to page one of his contract, and that limit of liability clause should be in the first paragraph or first sentence on page one of his contract.

My learned opinion.

Well. well. It appears that the our Wisconsin resident NACHI hater (and WAHI board member) who recently cited BCIPI as an organization with an excellent peer review program, (and distributed the link to that smear piece on NACHI to make his point) will have to eat crow.

The rubbing it in has already begun.
