Default How about some honest answers...

HI folks, I'm very new to the inspection industry and have been sitting on the fence watching NACHI and CAHPI for the past 6 months or so. I have seen both associations members "beat up" on each other online and still have not made a sound decision for myself. So, today I said screw it all, I'm gonna ask these guys some questions. Some of them may seem stupid, but they are important to me.

1. Why join NACHI instead of CAHPI? (Not looking for a damn essay, just a simple sentence or two.)

2. I am in Atlantic Canada, what does NACHI do for its members here?

3. Does NACHI actually provide free items such as signs, keychains, etc. to hand out to potential clients?

Thats all for now guys, I'm sure I'll get some responses.

Care to elaborate on that one? How do you know this?

And no, I am not Wand.

Is it just me, or is this thread the same guy having a conversation with both halves of his personality?

Oh boy. You do have a point there. If I had some sort of mental disorder I might think I'm someone much more sinister. In the end, I'm still just Marc, sitting here noticing stuff. People are funny sometimes. Even full grown men.

Beats me. If you asked me, I'd say he lives in some other part of your head, but I'm not a doctor. Many of you Canadian guys are goofy. Everything I know about Canada I learned by reading this Canadian forum area here and from watching The Red Green Show.

Marc,

It's not only you!
Raymond Wand has issues, big issues. He needs to check himself into the nearest mental institution.

I don't have any solid information, so instead I choose to toy with unstable people. Hours of fun and good family entertainment.

Tell me about your childhood...

From what I have heard he does a pretty good imitation of George Michael, the only difference is he uses parking lots!

Gee, I'm sure glad you brought that new information up, since I haven't heard that since the last time you said it. Maybe that was yesterday, and the day before, and the day before.

As a non-Canadian, and a generalized noticer-of-stuff, why not start your own dog and pony show? I would have to think that if you could somehow channel the effort you put into thinking up a couple new user names every weekend and posting non-stop, you could probably set up something pretty nice of your own.

What medications are you currently taking...
