Thanks Ray 🎉🙌🏾

Feel like I discovered GOLD!!!

For what is offered as a member I really wished I'd joined 10 years ago---I'd be certified in at least 10 areas by now. No time like the present. Thank you.

What brand of thermal camera was used?

I've been thinking about the code deflection limits.. its interesting to note that they only spec an worst-case L/360 for the entire span, not caring where the worst-case deflection occurs, or even what the worst-case slope or rate-of-change-of-slope (which is proportional to the moment on the beam at that location).. Why is it interesting? because you could theoretically reach failure of a beam if you heavily loaded one end of the beam without the worst-case L/360 deflection limit being reached - albeit, this would be very unusual, and typically you would far exceed the deflection limit before failure.

When my Hikmicro Pocket 2 arrived I took it to a neighbor's house and put on a demonstration on everything from his electrical panel, plumbing, and such, to his wife cooking dinner. Quite often I was answering questions...with your very words here 👍👍Thank you. This tool will be awesome to have around, both for business and for fun.

I am a electrical contractor and my level 1 certification has expired. What is the best way to get my certification back instated? At the time i was planning on doing commercial electrical inspections but got to busy do installs. i have the flir E95 which i think is good.

Great teaching! Thank you all for this video. It’s a nice summary with good knowledge, tips, and explanations. Wish you had left in the information about the air filter, would have liked to know what he had to say about it. Thanks for the video!

BS

I've never been so Bored in My 64 years of LIFe.... My God find some interesting house to inspect... Love the DJI mic no attempt to hide mics. TY fir making me feel better about the next video that I watch. U moved the bar... my Wife just got home

It was a great day! Thanks for everything! Looking forward to the next one!

After watching probably hundreds of water heater videos I am surprised how few installs and replacements are using dielectric unions. In California we can use flexible hoses to the tank and strap to the wall due to earthquakes.

According to TN code you also have to complete 250 inspections and at least two years of training under a licensed inspector. Good luck with that! Renewal is 20 hours of CT

Jumper cables… Lemme guess, Florida.

I understand Ben' viewpoint on this. However, I have reservations, which I can best express by using my own situation as an example: -I run a profitable inspection business in Jackson Hole and the surrounding Wyoming/Idaho region. -My business comes primarily from real estate agents and brokers with whom I have long term personal relationships. That network expands, mainly to other realtors, by word of mouth. -The inspections are mostly high end residential, luxury, and ranch properties, with a wide variety of systems and building types. -Personally, I came to home inspections from a background of building, including residential and commercial. Log, frame, steel framing, R-Panel, modular, etc. I could train people to this standard. I would have to make certain that they could perform at the required level to maintain my reputation. And, to make the added management costs worthwhile, I'd have to have several inspectors. Here's my problem: At that point, there is absolutely nothing stopping the employees I've trained from going into business for themselves, and competing with me.

First thing ya do is ban Republicans and Democrats from doing anything. Repubs and dems are domestic terrorists. You earn less and less every year because of BOTH

These videos ease my mind

This is why we don’t need immigrants building all our stuff they work fast but no good

So informative! Question, is it correct to identify the water heated shut off valve as the main shut off valve to the house in an inspection? The water heater valve as i understand, will only turn off hot water exiting the water heater.

If there are no cuts on the roof valley , no additional inspection is necessary for me

Done everything on the list. Still struggling to get business... Any advice on what else I can do?

Angi’s List wants a cut. A rather large cut.

they call it a bib cause a faucet refers to something that has a sink or a catch basin like a tub

Hi. Ben. It's Minseok. This lecture was also good for me starting an inspector in Korea. I'm always working on my learning posture. See you again at the Florida Convention. Thanks.

You might wanna stand on the other side of that storm collar so your shadow isn't covering it.

It would help a lot if your camera operator shot everything you talk about.

How were there 0 "material" defects? According to InterNACHI's definition of a material defect, any defect that, if unaddressed, could cause harm or cost $ should be a material defect, correct? How are most of these issues not considered a material defect? Cracked roof tiles could lead to serious water damage if left unaddressed. Is a recalled Zinsco panel not a safety concern?

I'm a bit surprised, at 57:20 Ben misses that this furnace doesn't have a sediment trap on the gas line.

I love watching these, as I am officially starting out in the field. Great way to get an idea on how to approach things. All of the videos are a great help! Thank you InterNACHI!

incredible demonstration thank you gentleman!

Attic looks very clean

Very informative

How fast can I get the certificate?

I just attended the InterNACHI conference in Raleigh NC and learned about this. I'm in the process of selecting a pre-designed profile for my website. The one question I have at the moment is, can the color schemes on the templates be changed? Not the layout, or the pages, but the colors.

No bonding between the water heater piping?

Entropy is not actually chaos its equalization

This video is one of the best for efficiency. Thank you

Are these NACHI certifications recognized by the GA Authorities? Or do you provide access to a GA website for final certification?

Teardown.

This is helpful. My website only gets a few views / clicks a day and most of the search terms that lead people to my site relates to a blog post about roofs, not home inspections. Need to improve it.

Amazing information. Thank you Phil

This is a good webinar!

💯% Ben!

Ya but how much is the membership?? 🤔

15 minutes to peek at the attic and another 15 for the kitchen. Yep, that's a trash job.

Thanks for the video moving to Idaho soon and looking to get into home inspection.. very helpful video

Wow this was so good. I have been watching a lot of these videos, not to be a home inspector, but instead to inspect homes that I intend to fix and flips. Trying to limit my bad buys. Thank you for this. So in-depth.

Worry about retaining the realtor above anything else. There is a very decent chance you’re never going to see that client again. So you’re just sitting around and you’ve got random past clients just calling you and you’re stopping in an inspection to talk to them? That’s not very realistic

This was awesome! Thank you!
