I guess I should have put a number in the poll too, but I didn’t so count carefully. This was a difficut post, so try to limit pictures to just one. The limit of pictures to post this was 25 and I had 27, that is why the two post for the pictures. Best picture for the Catagory. Next Month will be: 1. Foundation-Basement, crawlspaces, defects, IE massive cracks, water intrusion, failure, etc. 3.3 Remember, only one of your best defect picture for the catagory. :)😃 ---

Next month, the names will not be shown, we will just Label it as Pic #1, and soforth. The names can be found in the original thread anyways and will be simplier to issue the Poll. Thanks and vote. 🙂 ---

Thanks Marcel. As you mentioned when you started this contest… a little tweaking would be necessary to smooth out the rough edges. Looks good so far, with only minor adjustments needed. Thanks. ---

> [@rjude](#): > > I thought we had to stay on topic? My personal opinion is… I agree… some of the pic’s belong in the ROOF category, and do not belong in the EXTERIOR category. As a Committee member, my apologies. We knew there would be some mistakes trying to get all the bugs worked out, and we decided to get it going instead of waiting. Hopefully all the issues will be corrected for next month’s contest. Thanks for everyone’s understanding. ---

Well, there might have been a couple of roof pictures that slipped by, but sure looks like 11 like the tree in the overhang. :mrgreen:😉 We need to know why the members won’t vote on this so we can better the program to suit.

Well since I made somewhat of an error in dating the Poll, I will start Nominations for Best Defect Pictures for Feburary since we missed that one. Does’t look like any picture would win over the tree in the roof. So Martin Karl will be considered the winner for March. So please go here; [http://www.nachi.org/forum/f13/nominations-best-defect-pictures-feburary-70106/#post886195](http://www.nachi.org/forum/f13/nominations-best-defect-pictures-feburary-70106/#post886195) And post your Best Defect picture for the catagory. Thanks. ---
