I’m confident Robert can answer all on his own without others looking up dumb stuff on corporate records.

Hi Patrick.
Sorry if you thought you were being atacked.
Not so, I wish you no ill will.
I’m an inspector, I’m paid to “dig”.
You may be licensed & insured, that has nothying to do with the fact the corporation has been dissolved.
If I am incorrect here, please let me know because I will owe you an apology.

That “new” fellow was offering a service on the MB which gave reason to check.
Different scenario, but I do understand your point.
Greg was not offering a service.
Robert - where are you?
Get back to the hot tub Eric. Lol. Glad to see you post. Im on vacation but checking the MB nonetheless.

If house was built in the 70’s there is a very good chance that it is T&G. At which point a shiner really doesn’t matter as it was nailed, most likely with 6d nails, with two nails per board. I would suggest looking through the soffit vents to verify. Usually the spray foam does not go down to the fascia, and you will be able to tell. Even if the homeowner doesn’t let you remove the vent, you can wait until the new owner takes over, and then get the pics. Most of the time you can verify the RTW the same way. I would suggest going as far from the access hatch as possible to check, as that is where you are most likely to get the info you need without everything being covered up!
I’m working on 10 different things at one time, my time is limited over the next 3-4 weeks.
I post on this forum because I love the industry and hate what it’s being reduced to, also I like providing people who are interested with accurate information based off of industry standards and codes. In some cases it’s my opinion based off of my dealings with individuals who are in the know and closely working with state and local governments.
I consider myself to be very fortunate, I have been lucky enough to befriend individuals in the industry who are the best in their field…the world. They have mentored me through the process and taught me the right way to interpret codes and statutes.
The information I provide is free, do with it what you wish. It’s not my job to convince you something is right or wrong. You can lead a camel to water, but you can’t make him drink…
Will do!!
I only posted on this thread because it is one of my pet peeves. Until anyone posts information from an allowable source that contradicts what I posted from the building code, I see no reason to post further. Unless it is another pet peeve or some sort of conversation leading me to some good fishing spots here on the Treasure Coast! 
Enjoy your vacation Bert!! :0 :0
Thanks Eric. We’re trying. Getting lots of snow and high winds here tonight. We’re in Iceland. This was our view last night looking out the window from our restaurant in downtown Reykjavik. This morning it’s off for a swim in the blue lagoon. I’ll tell you how that goes later later. Lol.

How would you know much about what has/does go on around here? You are a non-member with 200+ posts and a HI license in the 3000 range. Although you have some great arguments for some of your positions, you appear to think that only you can have a valid opinion. Some of us will not argue with you because we have been down that road too many times. If you want to help stop being condescending.
And that is my opinion.
It’s an open forum John, if the only opinion (based on fact I might add) that is valid is that of members then don’t accept non-member subscriptions. Who’s decision was that, certainly not mine? Are you saying that because I’m a non-member that I can not defend myself from other “condescending opinions”?
Yep, my license number is in the 3000, that’s a fact. I’m not sure how that represents my experience in both construction and home inspections but ok. As for 200 posts, at what point do I become relevant as I saw no standard or statement listing this when I signed up. My position on why members vehemently refute me or leave the forum was base off of the memebrs who left and the one’s who respond to my posts…I think that’s precedence enough…
I have spoken with a few others on the forum outside of the boards, they know who I am. If your committed to the industry, if you want accurate information from an educated source, if you want to learn more and be a better inspector…I’ll help you in any way possible. Regardless of what is said here!
I do have one question: how is it the membership can have an inspector with a license number in the mid 8,000s and be a CMI when 3000 isn’t acceptable or valid here?
LOL if you were around awhile you would understand…
CMI is marketing only, there are “inspectors” that have it that don’t want to write a report. It appears that nobody confirms the requirements of a CMI and the definition of a “inspection” for the qualifications are a bit fuzzy, does a wind mit count?
Now, I never said that a license number 3000 was not acceptable, just that you have not been around long enough to fully comprehend, everything that goes on around here.
I already said that you have some valid points, but you are not the only one. You seem to think that you are the only one. Your license number of 3000 indicates you have not been licensed as long as some, it also indicates that more than likely you were a contractor that got the idea to become an home inspector as licensing became effective. Hopefully you learned something already.
As far as members not participating or leaving the forum, you again seem to assume that it is about just you. It is not, it is about people acting/participating like you. If you had been around awhile you would know the answer to the question on why you can participate and who decides what around here. Feel free to call me if you feel I can help 321-six2six-8153 and I would be more than happy to discuss with you in detail. I hope that helps
…here is a “home inspection” forum, is it not?
Not exactly. I listed my experience on a previous post going back to 1982, it’s there for all to see including you. What 3000 means to me is that I actually sat for a proctored exam and went for specific schooling on home inspections to get my license, while you were either grandfathered or filed out of default in under who knows what experience without ever having to take a test for or prove your knowledge when it comes to home inspections. One could reasonably argue that I might actually be more educated than you when it comes to home inspections due to schooling and taking a standardized test.
Would I be right?
LOL, sorry if I have not been stalking all of your posts.
FYI,
I was grandfathered, because I did enough inspections before licensing took effect. I actually turned in actual printed reports to get my license. As far as proctored test, I have past the NAHIE test, with “the best score” the testing center had ever seen and “the fastest.” I only took the test to prepare for writing questions for the test. Furthermore, I actually teach home inspector classes.
again, you have an opinion but don’t understand all of the facts.
My offer still stands if you would like to call me.
Robert,
You continue to speak to people here with an obvious air of condescending superiority, you are always assuming facts that haven’t been specified, you speak of your own knowledge and skills and want total strangers to accept it on blind faith, and frankly, you’re just plain rude.
It appears to me that you have a generally low opinion of everyone who belongs to this organization.
Find me at the next FABI conference (we spoke briefly at the last hospitality suite in Daytona Beach Shores) and I’ll explain it to you in person, as sometimes our real intentions are difficult to convey on a BB.
Dom.
Robert, You seem to have very strong opinions. Differences are good and can be constructive but what I think you are missing is a lot of background. You seem unwilling to learn about that to help you form a more educated opinion. Some here have been very involved over the years and sorted through a lot of things. Your picking on John S. only diminishes your opinion. Is John always right? Absolutely not, just ask his wife. But does he have the background well above to support information, absolutely. Sometimes it is good to listen and learn. When you stop doing that you go backwards.
To those that are giving Robert and Bill a hard time, mainly because they are not members, both are fully qualified to comment on virtually any topics on this message board.
They may get hung up on a lot of the wording, and for that matter, so do I, with regards to the topic at hand, and others, but if you were to go by the words printed, codes, Statutes, etc…, they are correct.
We can take Marcs original question and post and use it as an example.
Say the home was built in 1998 in the HVHZ or, in 2004 in the non-HVHZ, which is becoming more common.
Question one on the wind mitigation form asks for year built, and in some instances, permit application date. I have no problem with that.
The question also asks the following:
That is a loaded question, and technically, one that only code officials can answer. As a home inspector, it is out of the scope of my license. I can’t legally certify, verify, or any other term you want to use, that anything meets any code.
Now, going back to the original picture. On the form, for question one, you marked either A or B depending on which scenario you want to choose.
You can’t tell what the roof to wall connection or nailing pattern is, but say the homeowner decides to let another inspector cut into the foam and lo and behold, there are several roof to wall connections that were never installed. Furthermore, it is discovered that the roof deck was nailed with 6D nails.
Remember question one…
Even the most basic definition of “structure” would be the walls, roof framing, roof decking and the foundation. At a maximum definition it would be everything present on the property.
Using the definition found in the code itself: “Structure:That which is built or constructed”.
That leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
I have been saying this for years with regards to the 1802…A) Let me design a working, fillable form. B) Only have items on the form that credit is given for.
Example:
-
Year built, Permit Application Date.
Let your computer system program decide what code it falls under. -
A. All roof coverings have Miami-Dade Product Approval listing current at time of installation OR have a roofing permit application date on or after 3/1/02 OR the roof is original and built in 2004 or later.
B. All roof coverings have a Miami-Dade Product Approval listing current at time of installation OR (for the HVHZ only) a
roofing permit application after 9/1/1994 and before 3/1/2002 OR the roof is original and built in 1997 or later.
It is either one or the other. Who cares what type of roof it is? That part of the question isn’t needed. Also removed “meet FBC”.
3.Method of roof deck attachment:
Plywood/OSB roof sheathing with a minimum thickness of 7/16”inch attached to the roof truss/rafter (spaced a maximum of 24”inches o.c.) by 8d common nails spaced a maximum of 6” inches in the field. -OR- Dimensional lumber/Tongue & Groove decking with a minimum of 2 nails per board (or 1 nail per board if each board is equal to or less than 6 inches in width). -OR Any
system of screws, nails, adhesives, other deck fastening system or truss/rafter spacing that is shown to have an equivalent
or greater resistance than 8d common nails spaced a maximum of 6 inches in the field or has a mean uplift resistance of at least
182 psf. Yes or No.
4.Roof to wall connection Clips, Single Wrap, Double Wrap. If it isn’t one of those, it doesn’t matter. On a properly designed form, these and any other answers would be in a drop down list.
-
Hip roof, yes or no.
-
SWR Either the definition of this needs to be changed on the form or the building code. They need to sync up and until they do, this should be removed from the form.
-
All openings protected, yes or no.
Since the studies show that if one opening fails, take a garage door for example, then the home is more likely to sustain “serious” damage, let’s just make it all or nothing.
There, I have condensed 4 pages of drivel into a half a page of easily obtained and used information.
Along with this, abolish picture requirements. If you doubt what I put on the form, send your guy out there and have him get pictures to disprove what I wrote down.
The current version of the form is poorly written and leaves a lot of areas of exposure for inspectors.
I would disagree with those that say you have to perform this inspection to the “standards of your license”. The form has 7 questions and your job is to get the answers to those questions. It is very simple to do in most cases.
What type of license you have has nothing to do with it.
If we are going to talk about 4-point inspections, although they are “insurance inspections”, they are looking for answers to if things were updated and if there are any, using the Citizens form, deficiencies present.
In order to answer those questions, you would have to perform some sort of an inspection on the four areas in question. Since these items are located in a home, I would have to conclude, that the standards that would apply for these inspections, would have to be the State Standard of Practices.
I would suggest that anyone doing four-point inspections, use the State SoP and also, add that to your forms along with a separate contract/pre-inspection agreement.
Since all of my inspections are one document, which are split up at the office, I only need one agreement.
Now that this is out of the way…
Time for a day of recovery after a fantastic camping weekend!
Thanks Eric, I know Bill, he’s a very competent and capable inspector, and I recently meet Robert.
Clearly Robert is qualified and knows his craft inside and out. But my observations about his presence on this BB here are accurate.
I give Robert a hard time based on his rough inter-personnel skills. He may have technical skills, but he shows utter contempt for alternative interpretations of anything, be it code related or insurance related.
Dom.
