Your car is faster than mine so I should just walk…gottya.
The steam pipe under the floor and between joists must be my imagination.
I care about nail temps …lol
Yesterday had a no utilities on in the place place and realized thermal imaging does not help much when everything is the same temp.
Today is a cathedral ceiling and will be sure to crank up the heat on entry.
My self experimentation says there should be a greater differential between water and building materials if I crank it up.
No not looking for training yet as it will taint my own findings.Training will come when I start looking for more answers as for me this is the best way to learn.Kinda like jumping in a lake and learning to swim before reading about it .
Never mind
Please believe me when I say that I don’t mean the following in a condescending or disrespectful way but I have to say that this has to be one of the stupidest things you’ve ever said. How can training (meaning learning what to look for, how to look for, how to interpret etc…) by any means taint anybody’s findings? This is not a thermography thing or a thermographer vs non thermographer.
Did you start inspecting houses without any training thinking you don’t want to get proper training because it might taint your findings?
This makes absolutely no sense. Training is even more necessary if you are going to use an inferior gadget so you better understand what you are looking at and more importantly to interpret it.
Got to agree with you there! Of course there are some that take the experience path for training. You know “Hmmm it looks like poo, it smells like poo, it even tastes like poo, therefor it must be poo!”. :shock:
Take your time Bob. We don’t want you to “taint” yourself.
I’ve gone into Fish Thermal Imaging. Oh crap, they are all wet. And they keep dying when I let them dry out. Many unhappy clients. I have named my new pet, Delta T. :roll:
That’s funny stuff right there… sad for the subjects being experimented on.
That’s some funny s hit there Bob.
Are you high or is that your normal thought process?
Upper window never would have found this busted seal visually as it was clear and up high. On closer examination it had silicone around the sash where they added a second pane later to hide it.
Yeah belittling comments from here prove the Flir one is trash and NACHI sells the C2 by the way… Hmmm.
Guys are emailing me because all the king dks here scare them off the forum. Maybe it will turn into the sound of one hand clapping once the superior know it alls start eating each other.
John teaches ir but if I recall has no training so there goes that theory.
Most of my trying in HI is from the Web yet seem to have a good career… Go figure.
It is not rocket science and I see many mad that others can do hi with ir that is cheap.
But the genius beings wish all cameras were over $10,000 like the good ole days.
Bob,
Quit making a fool of yourself.
This is what a window with a failed (busted) seal looks like.
Hey dopey I said the glass was replaced .Pay attention.
Get your mind off Guns and Gays for a minute.
I now return the forum to the elite.I am sure your new buddie Chuck Wagon will be along soon…
OK, your thermal image looks like a normal window.
What do you see in your image to indicate a failed (busted) seal?
Sorry, I can’t get my mind off of guns and you.
Education, smeducation, who needs education! What a joke! :roll: and now he’s teaching email classes!
The other sets were warmer and this set showed as colder leading to discovery.
What matters is I found the issue.
But wait that is impossible and no matter how many times I hit patronizing know it all’s on the head they will refuse the evidence because they were brainwas…taught different.
Nobody dare disagree with the Gods of IR…lol…get a life dudes.
People are emailing me the Flir is helping them find issues and that is enough to make $250 a low cost tool that works.
I bet not 100% of the elite use a sure test and figure a 3 light tester is good enough meaning you guys are missing line drops and not trained in Electric enough so should stop using the 3 light tester as it is cheaper and you have not been trained in its use …ha ha.
I just opened a new website as a Thermal expert using the Flir one by the way …cool eh ?
Next I am starting a new web page with my new Sure test logo where I will explain there are untrained men going around with 3 light testers that are inferior and without proper voltage drop training …so beware.
IR cqmeras are just another tool…not a license to pretend you are better than everyone else .
I thought we got rid of you when you made a fool of yourself with that stupid video idea.
Doesn’t look like this IR thingy is working out too well. Is it?

Linas you afraid to show up and support the local NACHI chapter or you are too wrapped up with ASHI now ?
We need your guidelines to being a Master Inspector.

Good for you Bob. If it fits your business plan and your content with it…by all means go for it.
Is it cheaper to have your Flir 1 sent in for calibration or to just buy a new one?
LOL :lol:
