This is a thanks to Paul. I attended Paul’s 2005 NEC Code Change Seminar this past Saturday at the Holiday Inn in Roanoke, VA at his invitation.

The course, while squished into 3 hours, had great content, was thorough, and Paul’s presentation of the material was excellent. Easy to see why he’s the “Electrical Guru”

NACHI got a great plug, about its’ members being the absolute best Home Inspectors in the industry. Paul stressed to the Electricians (all there to get their VA mandatory continuing Ed.) to view NACHI Home Inspectors as business assets - not someone to disagree with - “why challenge the guy who’s bringing you business? It just makes you both look bad.”

Without actually knowing I was in attendance, he even plugged my thermographic imaging service to this group.

Thanks Paul, :mrgreen: I already have an electrical inspection booked from that plug.

I just finished InterNACHI’s Advanced Electrical Inspection course, and I would like to thank Paul Abernthy for such an expansive, descriptive video. His process is easily understandable, and along with the learning documents provided, gives an inspector just about everything they need to be a great inspector. Nothing beats real-world experience through, so even after this course, I’ll continue to bring my questions to the forum!

Wow…it is hard to believe its been 20 years ago that I started helping Home Inspectors at NACHI. Was some great times. I am sure most have forgotten who I am but I enjoyed helping you folks.

Just figured I would POP IN and say hello. Those who wonder, our academy is doing well and growing all the time. We created TradeHOG.net our AI Code Engine and thats doing great also.

Well, hope my old friends are doing well, and you new folks are making us old folks proud. I still can’t believe NACHI hasn’t remade the electrical video I did with Ben…that video I look 300 pounds…now im under 200…lololol

Take care everyone.

Good to see you Paul.

Glad you’re staying healthy and hopefully enjoying life.

For those that don’t know Paul, I asked “the Chief Hog” and this was the answer: (You can also check the archives.) :grin:

Time flies when you are having fun is the old expression I believe.

Not me. I remember those good old days.
You have come very far sense then, Paul.

Happy to here your TradeHOG.net is doing well. Keep up the great work.

Keep the weight off, Paul. Less energy consumption and it will keep you grounded. Lol.

Keep well.
