2 inch thick on floor and 3 inch thick on the walls and sill-plates with sprayed polyurethane is the way to go NO POLY
I do not like home owners asking building information on the message board.
It is for inspection dialog, not building dialog.
Now if an inspector was to inspect your home Mr.X
We might have a common interest.
JMO.
This forum is for asking questions, not degrading people for asking them.
Not degrading any one Linas.
Home inspection web sites deserve home inspection questions and answers.
Just my opinion.
http://www.chba.ca/
For Americans. http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/topics/home_improvements
There is good old Bobby V. web site. http://www.bobvila.com/
I am not condoning his questions or your replies Linas.
I applaud your helping the man.
Time and place for everything in my opinion. That’s all.
12 posts on a board shows me he is struggling to follow instructions.
Wrong application method from a InterNACHI member can make the site look bad.
Again my opinion only.
What was I thinking? Stupid me. We shouldn’t let non-members post questions in the non-member forum. I guess AskNACHI.org Forum is a stupid idea. We’ll have to ask Nick to get rid of it. You just send people with questions to Bob Villa for answers.
every one should keep a positive attitude when posting
interNACHI members should’nt argue or dispute each other
negative comment should’nt be post
One of the rare times I agree with Linas.
Someone save this thread for historical purposes.
You guys that want to chastise a person for asking a question are off your rocker and should do all of us a favor by leaving the area.
Very unprofessional,non-caring,shows lack of knowledge for both yourselves and puts this forum in a bad light.
I am apologetic to the original poster for these goofs.
Please anyone with actual intelligence help out here and ignore the peanut gallery.
Bob we are home inspectors. Not builders.
Help anyone yes. I agree.
Help them find there way to an informer that is associated with the information they need.
Lets go one more step in reverse for a moment.
New members eyes are clear eyes RIGHT?
Guy Bosse makes a statement that should be heard load and clear by every INACHI member.
So I also agree to a POINT with Linas.
As for his attitude.
Never walking down that road of malcontent and NEGATIVITY ever again " if I can help it."
You signed your SOP now live by the words.
This is a moderated forum. Members who post here are a.) representing InterNACHI and therefore posts that b.) misrepresent the organization, that are technically incorrect, that are c.) particularly off topic, or that are particularly off topic.
Please use minimal formatting in your posts. Your posts on this forum are being converted to HTML on another web site. Our system handles this pretty well, but don’t make its job harder than it already is.
Please avoid using quotes. See #2
a.) Posts that misrepresent InterNACHI.
We are not builders.
b.) misrepresent the organization.
Again we are not builders.
c.) particularly off topic.
I see no inspection questions being asked.
Bring them to a informer that helps them.
Would expect nothing less of you Linas than comments like ESOP breakers…
Linas I will hold out an olive branch. My hand is open in a honest juster of friendship.
At times emotions get the better of members including myself.
I will apologize for any actions and words I have said to emotionally upset you.
I can do no more than that.
Those accusations ARE DISHONEST and gain a foothold on negativity. Some may think it is funny but it is childish and demotes the association as a whole.
I can state from the abundance of positive feedback I get when I try to take the high road that most INACHI members are tired of insults, innuendo, and falsely contrived negative accusations being leveled at and by INACHI members.
Character assassinations and mindless lashing out at INACHI members is in direct violation of ones ESOP.
We are to hold are heads high being the largest association in North America.
We have to lead by example.
This a open part of the MB for people to ask Robert
Linas I will ask you for the sake of InterNACHI and HOW THE PUBLIC VIEWS the Home Inspection Industry professionals and the industry itself to pl;ease remove that innuendo from public viewing.
If a individual has problems such as the one you are describing then that individual needs professional help.
By you slanderously accusing the home inspection industry, INACHI members, and anyone for that fact with accusations of " Drug addicted home inspectors post replies here also " infers to the public that " YOU KNOW " such members personally interacted with them and have personal proof.
This is an affront to the industry, the publics preemption of home inspectors in general and on INTERNACHI ITSELF.
I ask you to please remove your post.
This is not a game to the inspection community Linas.
Nor is it a game to the client, home owners or future inspector that wishes to inform themselves on the InterNACHI message board.
You are in contempt and breaking your ESOP, plus dancing close to litigation by any number of individuals whom see this as offensive to the inspection community.
Please be more conscious of your posts please.
Sorry everyone for the long post…
