Question for membership?

[Brian K. Smith]

Do the 1000 inspections have to be all home inspections? Or can we apply other real estate inspections towards the 1000?

[Nick Gromicko]

What kind of real estate inspections? Single system inspections?

as of today I have 7,963 roof inspections completed in the last 9 years.

110 home inpections last year

around 50 home inspections in 2002-03

also about 200 home inspections for farmers ins. in 2002-2004

How many educational hours?

[Stephen W. Stanczyk]

Personal opinion. The roof inspections don't count. The insurance inspections don't count. They are too limited in scope and a "Master Inspector" needs more all around inspections than the specific roof or "lite version" insurance inspection.

The educational credits help but it would be a sham certification if it was based strictly on CEU's and/or roof inspections.

I was just asking....not like I am applyng today on this...last I checked you dont make the rules...Nick and his staff do....

That's why my first two words were "personal opinion". Don't get your panties in a bunch. A Certified Master Inspector designation should not be degraded by allowing hundreds of single system inspections or draw inspections to count towards what should be a difficult designation to obtain. You would never see anyone get a Certified Master Electrician designation by simply installing outside yard lighting.

I've done over 2000 draw inspections. Can I be a CMI too?? Pretty please.

I agree. Allowing limited inspections to count takes credability away from this designation.
