Welcome to another round of Questions of The Week !
Questions of the week:
Introduction and requirements:
A member of the Award Committee will post a question, at a random day/time.
A competing member may make one post per question thread to answer the question and the member’s winning entry must have all parts of the question answered completely in that one post. Editing your one answer post allowed will result in disqualification.
Winnings will be limited to no more than 6 times in a given year, the objective is to allow as many Members a chance to win as possible.
Any disregard to the above and divulging the correct answers will forfeit the weekly winnings.
So please refrain from participating if you have already won in the maximum for the Year.
First correct answer (as judged by the Awards Committee or Poster of the Question) wins.
The lucky winner will get a case of “Now that you’ve had a Home Inspection Books” shipped to them at their address on file. Make sure your Address on File with Inachi is correct.

I really didn’t think it would take long given the statistics.
Monday, January 22, 2018: 120 inspectors joined InterNACHI.
Tuesday, January 23, 2018: 232 inspectors joined InterNACHI.
Wednesday, January 24, 2018: 188 inspectors joined InterNACHI.
Thursday, January 25, 2018: 138 inspectors joined InterNACHI.
Friday, January 26, 2018: 119 inspectors joined InterNACHI.
697 inspectors joined InterNACHI in just the past 5 days.
That’s some BIG numbers there.
Now if we can just figure out how to get more (how about tons!) participation in this education section. For instance last week there were 223 views and 14 posts. Three members posted answers.
Got any ideas for the committee?
