Ray Thoroman of Superior Home Inspections http://www.choosesuperiorinspection.com fell off a 25’ ladder and landed on a metal railing. He cracked 2 vertebrae. He can barely walk. He is 30 years old and won’t be able to inspect for several months. He has a wife and 2 kids.
I’m collecting donations. Please send something (even if it is only $5 or $10) please.
Make checks out to “Ray Thoroman” and send them to:
NACHI

Boulder, CO 80301
I will forward them all to him. Thank you so much.
Nick are you or Deanna or Lisa going to be at the Denver course next weekend? If so I will make a contribution then…easier and faster for me.
Please pass on my families wishes to him for a speedy recovery.
Nick, I’m currently offering NACHI members a huge Website makeover deal and will give anyone who wants it a $10 discount if they commit to send that money to Ray.
Everyone here is so understanding and I really appreciate it as will Ray’s family. I have known Ray since he started in the inspection industry and he has been very diligent at making customers happy, working hard and doing his job as he should. Everyone knows how hard it is to make ends meet, let alone when you have two kids and a wife.
What’s amazing though, he cracked two vertebrae by landing on a guardrail on a front stoop, and did not get parallyzed. Amazing that he’s walking (no steps for now). He recalled hearing crackling noises as did his customer upon impact.
This should serve as a friendly reminder for us all to be sure to use caution when using ladders whether high or low. Even when entering a scuttle hole at an attic, the ladder could flip out from under you even when setup as an “A” frame. Short/long term disability insurance may really be one of the best investments we could make for our own financial security, as something like this would generally be covered.
Wishing Ray a quick and healthy recovery!
To all those injured in our industry, thanks for serving the public. Think about what we really do. We protect and serve the public just as many other public safety employees do. The difference is, we are self employed.

Thank God he isn’t paralyzed. It must not have severed the spinal cord in any way. I’m so happy! I wouldn’t wish the trauma of a spinal cord injury on anyone.
Sorry…it was all so deja vu for a minute there. Didn’t you get all your questions answered about that last year? The Foundation/vs/NACHI members out of the goodness of their hearts?
