Hey guys,

I'm looking at a house in Philly that would need to have some rotting joists in the basement crawlspace repaired/replaced. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good carpenter to call?

Thanks!

I have insider information that in fact, Nathan Thornberry tore the tag off the mattress within his house. I paid off his house keeper and she has confirmed and has photos of NO tag on the mattress. I am consulting with other on this board on how to proceed. I have notified the FBI, CIA and the local authorities. Turning him into the INACHI ethics board as well.

Let see him squirm his way out of this one!

Good thing I am here to protect the inspectors of this organization. But this is just my opinion, and it cannot be held against me. Please consult with you local mattress manufacture and the local authorities, local building code officials and of the you state attorneys.

I have a call into the Florida Attorney General and she said that is was highly illegal and should never ever be done. I forget her name, and the phone number, I thing she said it was Mary...Yea Mary...

I will hold the rest of my conversation with Mary very very close and when the Seal team six swoops in, then we all know....

Stay tuned, I also think he even ripped on off a pillow but my private investigator still has no definitive proof....YET!

1958 Full brick split level, remolded in 2009. Pattern seen in one bedroom East side, nail pattern seen on painted wall. Top of wall where caulking is cracked shows dark areas. I’m thinking air movement at top but not sure why you can see the drywall nails through painted walls. Any Ideas?

Cracks to both Slab and Wall at one cornor of the house. The widest crack is about 1/4 inch. The crack to wall is not wide but very long.

Hi there, I am new to interNachi and have been comparing the standards of practice with other organizations in Canada, namely, Cahpi and Cannachi. Is there any particular reason why walkways, patios, and driveways are not mentioned in the Standards of Practice?

I am located in Newfoundland so not subject to licensing or any particular standards that I am aware of. I began my training in BC, and all of the recognized associations require inspection of driveways, walkways and patios.

I think it is reasonable of my clients to expect comment on any defects in driveways and walkways that present a hazard.

Any thoughts?

Please advise if there are any other significant differences with comparable organizations in Canada.

I am starting to post a series of fault-diagnosis photos on the OntarioACHI message board.

These are aimed at the newer Inspectors in Ontario and will have a period for answers, which I will not comment on, with a follow-up post sometime later with more clues to the original problem and the resolution I took.

The first one is here

He is a CMI now!!!\\:D/
