Some one is asking me to do an inspection before they put the house on the market.
How should I treat that?
Why is it needed?

Gerry Beaumont Award
To all NACHI members:
Early this year the inspection industry and fellow InterNACHI members received sad news of the sudden and unexpected passing of our good friend and educator Gerry Beaumont. Gerrys passing undoubtedly has left a hole in the inspection community which will not soon be filled. While our daily lives and busy schedules will go on, the loss of our friend and mentor will forever remain a void.
Gerry had a passion for education. He taught inspectors across the globe, both experienced and inexperienced the value of continued education regarding the inspection industry. His courses, questions of the day, and helpful insights were found invaluable by many. Through Gerrys dedication and passion for education, many inspectors effectively raised their skill and knowledge levels, and truly became better inspectors.
The InterNACHI Awards Committee members were commissioned with a task as a request to rename the InterNACHI Member of the Year award to honor Gerrys memory and legacy. While this task outwardly appeared to be an easy decision and process, we quickly realized it would not be so. We wanted this award to truly reflect Gerrys passion and legacy as a pillar to the continued education of inspectors everywhere, regardless of status. As a result and after many careful discussions with members of the Awards committee and invited guests who were considered close personal friends of Gerry, the committee took a different approach to create an entirely new award.
We would like to formally announce the release of the Gerry Beaumont Educational Achievement Award. This award is designed to acknowledge those inspectors among our InterNACHI membership who have taken the initiative and excelled by bettering themselves and their business through significant continued education.
The criteria for this award are as follows:
Article 1 Introduction
The Gerry Beaumont Educational Achievement Award program was created to publicly recognize InterNACHI member for superior continued educational performance during the calendar year.
Article 2 Description of the Program
The Recipient exemplifies the Continued Educational Efforts by establishing and accomplishing at least 50 hours of approved CEU's in a calendar year.
The InterNACHI Awards Committee is the final authority of issuance of this award.
Article 3 Eligibility
All members of the InterNACHI Association are eligible.
Article 4 Submission Guidelines
Candidates are self-nominated by properly filling out the INACHI CEU Log Online.
As can be seen, the criteria are simple and achievable by all InterNACHI members. We, the Awards Committee members, again feel this award best portrays Gerrys passion and dedication to InterNACHI members through encouraging and promoting dedication to education Gerrys ultimate commitment to his fellow members.
Having personally experienced several of Gerrys courses both on-line and in person, I have been truly privileged to have known him and gained knowledge from someone I considered to be a true master inspector, and a friend. It would be an honor and accomplishment to receive an award such as this bearing Gerrys name.
We hope all members of InterNACHI will join together in honoring Gerry Beaumont by striving to achieve this award.

Main Panel Jumper
I'm taking the required 25 Standards Every Inspector Should Know course. In it, it states that bonding bushings and jumpers are required for metal conduit entering the main panel through concentric or eccentric knockouts. Unfortunately, I'm pretty weak in electricity and I don't completely understand that statement. Anyone want to clarify?
Unusual Shingle Pattern
Has anyone seen this type of shingle installation with exposed black area? It does appear that the shingles are not properly overlayed.

Bad weave in shingles?
How poor of an installation is this valley weave? Could this be a future cause of trouble where water could seep under the weave? The yellow arrow shows the direction of the slope of the roof where the water has the potential of having a stronger flow/runoff. The red line identifies the actual valley of the roof and you can see where the cut ends. The shingles at the bottom are staying with the roof plane that is a slightly lesser pitch.

For those who care about Wind Mits.
Rule 69O-170.0155 is opened back up to further revisions due to legislation recently signed into law by the Governor. A rule workshop has been scheduled for September 22, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. to update Form OIR-B1-1802 to reflect statutory changes and other issues related to the form. Our Management and Legal team is currently reviewing the legislative changes that are in order as well as areas of the form that need clarification or correction, including the signature page to include home inspectors as licensed under Florida Statute 468.8314. We are in contact with other regulatory agencies and all aspects of the industry regarding suggested changes and we are seeking clarification for technical issues such as this. We will continue to provide updates on our website as well as our Interested Parties List in regards to upcoming workshops, hearings, etc.that will address the revisions.

E and O questions
My $2300 E & O renewal is coming up, how many of you guys carry this and how much is your deductable? Mine is $5000 which I 've been told is high, I'm thinkning of not renewing. I've always looked at this insurance like it gave my company credablity but now we have the license. My attorney told me it would be very difficult for me to get sued when the agreement has been signed by the clients. I value everyone's opinion in this forum and would appreciate any advice you may have.
