OK, reign it in folks........don't get personal. If you have a comment relevant to the OP, or a comment to a relevant comment, dig in.........in other words, play nice.
Look who's talking about tone.MASSDRIVER said:Nice tone. And defensive to boot.
Conarb has probably built more structures than you have read about in books.

And that is why CA Architects are now required to have continuing education on accessibility for license renewalJPohling said:completing large quantities of non complying structures is not the goal
Brent:MASSDRIVER said:Not against casp, so you know. Anecdotally, I have talked to three inspectors now that are working the course. All are in it for the money, which is ok by me. Get your nut.
None want to use it for their departments but rather as side income or retirement income, or start a full time business.
All have said it is remarkably difficult to pass, and the failure rate is high. I'm glad they have to pay for it out of their own pockets. Citizens should not have to pay for thier personal investments and education.
You can't deny it is a new industry, and will be used for personal gain.

Brought to you by a guy named Dick....Oh the ironyconarb said:county fees were his contribution to affordable housing for the poor and ignorant
Will you please do me a personal solid and read my post again?mark handler said:And the problem of personal gain, is?Most, if not all, got into the construction business, not to shelter the poor, but for personal gain.
That was not the intent of the program.
Yes sir, they did. Hence their vigor for certification. They will be hired by businesses and whatnot to advise them how to avoid getting the pants sued off them. So they have to make a choice; Touch your toes now, or later.conarb said:Brentid any of these *******s tell you how much they are charging businesses for their certifications? This all started with sleaze-ball attorneys exploiting people, now we have other *******s exploiting people. We are losing all the freedoms that Americans have suffered and even died to protect, all through absurd regulation. I budgeted $100,000 for special inspections for a home, the owner came to me one day and asked why we even had to pay for county inspections when there are so many layers of inspection? I told him that county fees were his contribution to affordable housing for the poor and ignorant, that county inspectors didn't even have welding certifications. Over-regulation is going to kill the golden goose that many here are living off as the public becomes aware that it is just another tax redistributing wealth and supporting people who produce nothing in life.
That is kinda funny coming from Brent. What's funnier is you and fatboy policing this thread.jar546 said:Look who's talking about tone.Who give s rats *** how many structures someone built. What difference does that make?
Nothing. I said that.mark handler said:And I did, what is wrong with a certified person using it for personal gain?and if you are okay with it, as you say, why post that statement, if makes it sound like you are negaing the rest of what you are saying.
I don't like peeps bogarting my style.jar546 said:Look who's talking about tone.Who give s rats *** how many structures someone built. What difference does that make?

Sounds like extortion to me.Brent said:Yes sir, they did. Hence their vigor for certification. They will be hired by businesses and whatnot to advise them how to avoid getting the pants sued off them. So they have to make a choice; Touch your toes now, or later.Consultation fees expected in the thousands.
Brent.
Somebody has to do it. The government set this up to be difficult for everyone involved.conarb said:Sounds like extortion to me.
Don't buy the respect and knowledge thing at all.MASSDRIVER said:I don't like peeps bogarting my style.Point 2, respect, and knowledge.
