I am asked occasionally if a home will pass a FHA or VA inspection. I let me client know that I don't inspect for the mortgage companies and don't know all the items they are looking for.

I have heard a few requirements, but have nothing to back it up. Does anyone have a list they can share.

It would be a money saver for my clients if I could point out items that would most likely be red flags to the FHA or VA before they invested more money in a FHA/VA appraisal/inspection.

Hello I'm Stelvio Calafiore. I'm an italian engeneer, i'm interesting in buying an infra red camera, nevertheless I am not quite sure which one to buy, this my first one and I am going to use it for the control and maitaince of photovoltaic system (2 MW on the ground), electrical boards and buildings and I do not know which one to get.
The Flir T440B price is 10,450 Euros, and the Testosterone 885-2 V-set 9,000 Euros, both with tele 45 included, testo with super resolution and module wifi included, flir with software flir tools+ and calibration lent included.
So I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages between the both of them, I mean I know the technical details from them but how much those details can influence my work (0,30 mK testo - 0,45 mK flir, android for flir, the different weight, lens protection for testo, 3,5" flir vs 4,3" testo, recognize code qr for The Testo.)
If some one of you used or bought one of them can you tell me your expirenses. Thank you very much indeed!

Left the windows down on my truck during a heavy rain last night...

Opened my computer at my inspection this morning and cracked the screen...



I'm just wondering, what's next? :shock:

Good read/link for your records: http://www.structuretech1.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/DeckLokTestData.pdf

Just out of curiosity, and I'd like to know where the rates are after licensing, what would you charge for a 1983, split level with 2 furnaces, attached garage. 1750 sq/ft. I charge as a minimum $495.00. Where are the rest of the Alberta home inspectors at? Now let's not turn this into the typical Nachi...My dick is Bigger than yours match...I'd like to hear some serious numbers to compare and to possibly up the rate for us.

So, every body knows double taps are incorrect, so why is this 2013 home equipped with this type of breaker? Is it a new breaker that allows 2 wires to be connected to one breaker.? I know the reason behind double tap being incorrect, so being that this breaker separates each wire, makes it ok......what do you guys think?

Hello Folks. I have been out of the inspection business for years and as I was moving the other day I discovered, deep in storage, my Thomas model107CAB18 pump that I had purchased when I was doing inspections and planning on doing mold testing. I never got into that niche and this pump was never used. Includes the pump, tubing and a Dwyer VFB-67 flow meter. $275.00 will get you all including shipping. Please e-mail me for pics and further info. carminefuoco@yahoo.com
