How old am I?

Inter Nachi - Mon, 06/03/2013 - 16:42
Good day America's finest. Is there any chart or page which tells how to date all, or at least the most common of, heating and cooling systems? Or do I have to call manufacturers for anything that doesn't have an obvious date on the tag. I know there are certain systems where one must decipher the date from serial number.
thanks for input

After 7 1/2 years....

Inter Nachi - Mon, 06/03/2013 - 15:13
After 7 1/2 years of doing inspections for GrantWorks and almost 5 years of doing Home Inspections on the weekends I have turned in my two weeks notice. The only inspections I'll be doing now will be for myself!

Nathan Thornberry breaks the law...

Inter Nachi - Sun, 06/02/2013 - 23:56
I have insider information that in fact, Nathan Thornberry tore the tag off the mattress within his house. I paid off his house keeper and she has confirmed and has photos of NO tag on the mattress. I am consulting with other on this board on how to proceed. I have notified the FBI, CIA and the local authorities. Turning him into the INACHI ethics board as well.

Let see him squirm his way out of this one!

Good thing I am here to protect the inspectors of this organization. But this is just my opinion, and it cannot be held against me. Please consult with you local mattress manufacture and the local authorities, local building code officials and of the you state attorneys.

I have a call into the Florida Attorney General and she said that is was highly illegal and should never ever be done. I forget her name, and the phone number, I thing she said it was Mary...Yea Mary...

I will hold the rest of my conversation with Mary very very close and when the Seal team six swoops in, then we all know....

Stay tuned, I also think he even ripped on off a pillow but my private investigator still has no definitive proof....YET!

What causes this pattern on finished wall?

Inter Nachi - Sun, 06/02/2013 - 23:18
1958 Full brick split level, remolded in 2009. Pattern seen in one bedroom East side, nail pattern seen on painted wall. Top of wall where caulking is cracked shows dark areas. I’m thinking air movement at top but not sure why you can see the drywall nails through painted walls. Any Ideas?
