Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this rapid and robust read, Home Inspection expert Wally Conway, "The Happy Home Inspector" reveals home inspection secrets to remove the mystery, fear and frustration from the home inspections. He honed his home inspection skills in over 5,000 houses before being discovered by HGTV for "House Detective" and DIY Network on "Finders Fixers." Wally hosts "The Home and Garden Show" broadcast from WOKV in Jacksonville, Florida. Wally's unique blend of experience and the talent to tell the tale make for an enjoyable read. Who is this book for.....and what will you learn? Homebuyers will be able to eliminate surprise and unexpected expenses while feeling true peace of mind with their purchase decision. Home sellers can have their homes sold in less time and for closer to the asking price by inspecting the home at the time of listing. Realtors and real estate agents will learn how to reduce their liability, close more deals, and create an all referral business. Understand the difference and uses of the home inspection, home warranty, survey, and appraisal in reducing buyers risk, seller's liability and Realtors commission. How to prepare for the arrival of the home inspector at your house. What questions should you ask a home inspector before hiring them? What special training or tools should they have in addition to a certification and home inspection license? Is a simple home inspection checklist enough or is a more detailed home inspection report better? Should new homes be inspected, or should you trust that the city building inspector did enough when he said the house met the minimum building code? Do home inspectors inspect for building code violations? What should be done with the list of repairs for the property that the home inspector reports? How much should a home inspection Cost what services should be included beyond a basic home inspection checklist. What tools should you expect a trusted home inspection expert to bring to the property inspection? Can a home inspector do a complete home inspection without using an infrared camera? Could a real estate agent who refers a home inspector who does not use an infrared camera be considered negligent in making the referral? Is there a fundamental difference in how a home inspector should view a home in Jacksonville or St Augustine Florida compared to Denver, Dallas or your town? Is there a home inspection mindset that leads to peace of mind during and after the inspection of the house and property? Who is this book NOT for? This book is NOT a how to DO a home inspection checklist like those from Holmes on Holmes TV star Mike Holmes, but a how to choose a home inspector and how to USE a home inspection guide! It's also NOT a how to repair guide like Bob Vila or the This Old House books. And it is for sure NOT a technical home inspection book like Norman Becker has written for home inspectors. Truth be told, if you've enjoyed the description of" Home Inspection Secrets of A Happy Home Inspector" enough to read the all the way to the bottom of the description, you will enjoy reading the entire book!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the years since this book was first published in 1993 there have very few developments in the technology of magnetic particle inspection apart from improvements in instrumentation which has made the measurement of peak values of time varying currents practicable. The major changes have arisen from health and safety and environmental concerns. These involve chemicals and exposure of personnel to air-borne electromagnetic fields and long wave ultraviolet (UY.A). The changes in the acceptability of certain volatile halogenated hydrocar bons which led to the banning of 1, 1, 1 thichloroethane in 1995 were evident in 1993. The present discussions concerning the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in general was also current and has now reached a stage where the effects of these deliberations will become evident over the next few years. Concerns over the exposure of personnel to airborne electromagnetic fields has been current for some years as has discussions to the effects of long wave ultraviolet (UY.A) on human skin. Recommendations as to maximum permit ted exposures over periods of time to both of these phenomena have been put forward and will doubtless form the basis of future legislation on the matter. A number of new specifications have appeared notably EN (European) and ISO specifications and some of these are still in preparation. Generally their impact will be minimal since these specifications are largely derived from existing documentation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of food inspection relies on an inspector's understanding of the intrinsic hazards associated with individual foods. Whereas spoilage can usually be determined through a simple organoleptic assessment, the judgment of whether a food is fit for human consumption requires an evaluation of health hazards, many of which may not be apparent through physical assessment. Instead the inspector must analyse and integrate scientific and handling information to evaluate the potential health risk. Adulteration of foods is also becoming an increasing problem, and the complexity of the food supply chain requires an understanding of risk points to allow targeted inspection and assessment. Food Safety and Inspection: An Introduction focuses on food categories and describes common hazards associated with each, using published peer-reviewed research to explain and evaluate the health risk. It is a practical textbook designed to support the role of food inspection in a modern food industry. There are seven chapters looking at specific aspects of food safety, including a chapter on fraud and adulteration. This book summarises relevant published research to provide a scientific context for specific food safety issues, and is an essential read for anyone interested in becoming a food inspector.
