ohio home inspectors: New home - 07/19/08 04:21 PM
This is just one of many things that I found in a new home. Not that price matters but this is in a home over $500,000.00 in a nice area near Powell Ohio.
This vents into the kitchen soffit. This is not something that the building department would have … (2 comments)

ohio home inspectors: Knob and Tube - 07/31/07 04:12 PM
Bob Elliott's post on Balloon Framing got me to thinking that if some people do not know of balloon framing they may not know of knob and tube wiring.
Knob and tube is safe if still intact. http://www.oldhouseweb.com/stories/Detailed/14214.shtml

ohio home inspectors: Electrical SAFETY! - 04/03/07 05:44 PM
How many of you employ the requirements of CFR 29 1910? This is an OSHA requirement.
The reason I ask this is: How many of you allow your clients to be in close proximity to the electrical panel when you remove the cover?
The NEC® defines a qualified person has "one familiar with … (18 comments)

ohio home inspectors: Free Home Inspections - 03/24/07 05:17 PM
I am giving free home inspections away for a price.
Sounds like some of the scams that want to give you $15,000,000.00.
I thought it was time to lighten up for a minute.
I give no discounts, or freebies, for my work.
Having me is a discount in and of itself.
I know that sounds arogant but … (0 comments)

This is NOT legal advice.

ohio home inspectors: Just curious? - 03/23/07 04:28 PM
I am wondering how people in different areas of the country (that have no licensing of home inspectors) address, and/or feel about, the fact that they (some home inspectors) claim to be certified?
Do you have a problem with the fact that the public assumes that a 'certification' must be given by your state?

This is for Ohio only!

ohio home inspectors: Home Inspector Org.'s - 03/19/07 05:54 PM
We all know that there are only two Home Inspection organizations that have ANY credibility.
The rest are, in my opinion, just revenue generating 'clubs'.
As Realtors do you not want the best inspectors representing your clients?
Stand up and demand a countrywide standard for home inspections.
The ASTM is working on a standard … (1 comments)

ohio home inspectors: NACHI - 03/01/07 04:06 PM
Here is a quote that NACHI members use:
"Be sure to choose a NACHI home inspector. Anyone else is just looking around!"
I guess that a state certified inspector is 'just looking around'.
That is exactly what a NACHI member is doing if they are inspecting your new home in Ohio.
Ask the NACHI member … (2 comments)
