Scott, read slower. It says where they came from: [http://www.nachi.org/narratives.htm](http://www.nachi.org/narratives.htm) Steven, this is a larger library (more than 10,000), the largest actually. Right behind this we have specialty libraries for Green Building, Commercial Properties, and Log Homes coming. ---

> [@rstufflebeem](#): > > Nick, > Throw out some samples of the narratives. . . . Is that possible? > Thanks, > Randy I agree. Although the TOC looks impressive, a sample section (small, but complete) posted in MO would go a long way to helping many of us see if it’s something we’d incorporate. Like previewing a chapter of a book . . . ---

I got it in the mail today and checked it out. Its a really nice resource. Very Impressive. I found that there are some narratives in there that say what i have been saying, but with more efficient wording. Its not a bad idea at all to draw from the wisdom of other home inspectors and from direct facts and science. I like it ---

Got mine but have only skimmed a few chapters. Looks good but as with any canned narratives you’ll probably want to make minor edits to fit your style. As an example many of the narratives starts with “The Inspector” recommends… I’ve never referred to myself as “The Inspector” when writing a report. That’s just me though and the edits will be easy. Overall, not bad 🙂 Thanks Nick (and Kenton!) ---

Overall, not bad 🙂 Thanks Nick (and Kenton!) Sounds like a good time to use the find/replace feature in word. Find “The Inspector recommends” , replace “I recommend”. Save you a lot of time over doing it one by one. ---
