Been trying to pull HG up for past hour ...... Nothing.

Anybody else having problem??

In our recent legislation, I listened to the meeting via tapes and the electrical contractors do not want us to open panels.

I wonder what they would say after seeing this....

Apparently they think you need an electrical contractors license to determine if this is faulty or not.

After we climb some good nose bleed type roofs.

Lets make a deal you teach me how to inspect from the ground so when I am 90 years old I can still inspect and I will teach you how to climb one before your 90th birthday:p:D

I can't remember how close a service switch needs to be. I have 2 outside compressors that are wired from an exterior panel with breakers, but the panel is 12-15 feet away and around a bush. Should there be a service switch located within 6 feet of the compressors? Thx for the help. I searched and could not find a distance.

Hi All,
We are very busy and are in need of an Illinois licensed home inspector. If you know of anyone who is interested, please forward our information to them. Contact: Info@whitegloveinspections.com

Hi everyone,

I'm an aspiring inspector (passed the school exam but haven't yet taken the State) and I'm looking to join inspectors out on the field as part of my learning process (Chicago area). I'd gladly lend a hand on site.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me if Inspection21 school is a reputable school? My first choice was NIBI because it was recommended by a few different individuals, however, its location isn't convenient. Thank You.

Hey everyone,

We're in the process of redesigning NACHI.ORG, and we wanted to let y'all take a look at the most recent beta version.

The new site matches the existing site for the most part, but features a bunch of minor tweaks that will make the site easier to use and more pleasant to read. The redesign is the first step in a few site upgrades with have lined up.

Take a look, and let us know if you run into any issues:
