It occurs to me that if I’m going to visit you fellas I should introduce myself. I’m an ex- and sometimes carpenter (8 years) who sold wholesale electrical supplies for several years. I did appraisal for a year (talk about a crooked business!) before moving into home inspection, way happier with the latter.
I'm a C-2 over at ASHI (easy now...) and I joined the ICC a couple of months ago. I recognize a handful of names here, not many. I'm here to mine those nuggets of information that pass through every day, and to form a first-hand opinion about the NACHI bretheren instead of a second-hand one.
I love HI message boards, the best CE there is in my book. I'm a prolific poster wherever I go, because I believe in participation when learning (and I'm a typical hard-headed HI, full of opinions and...other stuff). To rid myself of my ignorance I must expose it to the light of day. Mostly I'm known for good natured BS, denouncing the unethical, and inspection poetry.
I'll try to behave.

SO, are you still an ASHI candidate, or did you let that go?
I spent most of the summer on "administrative suspension" in protest of Branding, but I'm still in at the moment.
Sound like me, except that I did pay the extra $250.00.
Just not sure I will re-up. I suppose I may let it run out by default, hard to separate after 15 years. Like a relationship turned sour, nothing there any more, but you still hate to let it go.

Brian -
You're in good company. In my local A$HI Chapter we lost the President, Vice President and Treasurer as well as several other 10+ year members to the Tatooing Program (Darn I keep getting that wrong - its Branding).
