Good one Nick, thanks for the show. We got to let the fire out in the igloo this week and hung up the mukluks. Now it's 2 months of bad snowmobiling.

Yeah Nick I am not afraid to admit your TV episodes are a good thing. Heck even I watch them! Hows that for an endorsement?

Now now, be nice... ... Over the years, I've found that Ray will give respect and compliments where they are due. He does not pay lip service, which I think is great cuz you always know where you stand.

Ray......brace yourself. The above compliment to you was given by me, a member of the dreaded ESOP.

Thanks Ray! It truly means a lot to me. Many don't realize what goes into a 10 minute instructional show like this. Mike had to fly out from NY, we had to go on location at 2 different homes, we used 3 cameras (our first 3 camera show), editing, hosting (note how clear it is and no buffering or downloading), etc. Anyway, thank you.

And here are some interesting stats about NACHI.TV:

Average editing time: 2.1 hours of editing per minute of show (for instance, we shot the chimney show on Friday and Valerie didn't finish the editing until Wednesday afternoon).

Average server power: About 60 times that of YouTube.com for the same length show... the price we pay for clear broadcast with no buffering.

Amount of tape used: With 3 cameras, bloopers, and multiple takes, we shoot about 20 times as much footage as ends up in a show. On average we shoot about 3 hours of footage to create a 10 minute show.

Average total production cost: $540 per minute. So a 10 minute show costs us about $5,400 to produce on average.

Very Professional ........
It is a shame that this message board does not reflect the professionalism that NACHI TV does.

Franks quotable quote of the day!

.... and like you know anything about professionalism given your desire to write in the manner you do. When you were a policeman did you abuse your position of trust then?

I agree Brian and that was not said in any ill will towards Ray , I hope he understands that and I believe he can see the humour in it. After all we all must enjoy one another around here don't we.

[Raymond E. Wand]

Actually Brian summed me up pretty well. I don't pay lip service and I will tell it like it is. I truly appreciate the summation! Really!

nachi tv Super Fantastic Idea, well done

[dcook1]

One of the important things to remember in Canada, is you should be WETT certified to inspect a fireplace or solid fuel burning appliance.
Most insurance companies demand a WETT inspection now.

[Nick Gromicko]

And if you are W.E.T.T. certified in Canada, make sure you add it to www.nachi.org/ancillary.htm so that you show up in www.InspectorLocator.com and other places InterNACHI controls.

I be the same Ray. As Joe F said in another thread, I am an independant thinker.
