Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Thanks Joe, I run a nonprofit corporation that this year, 2007, will start offering its services to the general public, prior year we only offered our services to other charities. Information like this will be hopefully helpful in our journey to educate home owners about preventing accidents and fires.

FYI: The ‘world’ seems happy to hear about the work we intend on doing, but only one organization has been very generous to our charity, and that’s NACHI. Add in all the help everyone provides here/forum, and you can understand why I only recommend NACHI home inspectors to my anyone who asks.

Thx,

tom
