I got tied up on a phone call and a couple bugs (the programming kind of bugs). This may go on until the wee hours of the morning before I’m done. I’ll debug…oops… I mean I’ll have Chris debug. Working…

I don't know about the rest of you, but I ain't gonna go in any crawl spaces when eyes are looking back at me!!

Oh, and it's good. It did make me think about what I do. Fortunately, I'm ok. I just can't click a computer mouse, and don't read scentances (sp) very well when my kids are over my shoulder.

Also the following question was misleading to me, although it's probably just me;

The inspector shall inspect all garage doors and garage door openers by operating first by hand and then by the installed automatic door control.

"operating first by hand" to mean the garage door, or the garage door opener/remote? I thought it meant the garage door so I didn't mark it, and was wrong. To check the garage door by hand we would first have to disconnect the opener, right?

Most Inspection I perform, the remote openers are not available for me to test, just the wall mounted switch. If this what it means.

I think I should change "hand" to "remote" for clarity.

Hi all;


kinda wondering if this new check your skills test or (CYST) should be one of the perks of being a member of the greatest Associations around? Anyone out there can already tell us or ask us anything, but a NACHI member will hone there skills with our NACHI inventions to our NACHI Standards and Practices.


James,

If everyone likes it we can make it a membership requirement. I think it most useful to veteran inspectors some of whom may have veered over the years.
