“Where’s John?” May Update

I was privileged to attend the California Real Estate Inspection Association conference on April 21-24, 2022. Over 150 inspectors made to trip to Sacramento. There was an electric buzz in the air as inspectors gathered for the first in-person event since the Covid shutdowns. Hearing excited voices call out from across the hall with, “good to see you,” reminded me how much I had missed being at conferences in person – it had been a long time!
The educational event started with a day of education tailored to new inspectors and associates to assist with beginning their journey to become professional home inspectors.
Dale Feb educated us on the all-important chimney and fireplace inspection process on Friday. After 4 hours, Dale had only scratched the surface with information about inspecting wood and fuel-burning fireplaces. Friday’s session was rounded out with two more courses: Water Heater Technology and Low Slope Roof Systems.
On Saturday, 20 plus Municipal Inspectors joined the CREIA conference. We listened to Mr. Douglas Hansen speak about the recent and upcoming changes to the California Building codes.
The educational sessions were informative and illuminating, and I always bring back some new ideas at events like these. Better yet, getting to connect with fellow inspectors throughout the conference made for a memorable weekend.
I look forward to seeing all my newfound friends at IW 2023 in Las Vegas!
