Thanks, that does help a lot. Based on how competitive things have become in San Diego, I am thinking that 800 might be about the best I can do. I figure that the inspection and the report generation will take a full day. The referral came specifically because of my rep for being extremely thorough. 

I have been asked to inspect an 8 unit apt. building, 2 beds each, about 7600 ft., no pool. any ideas on how to come up with a competitive price on this?

That was quick, thanks Dom

I do some inspections for some clients that list both the major defects-printed in the summary, but I also create a pick=up or to do list for there handyman, which I use the "Fair" check box for. Is there a way to get HIP to allow me to print a summary of this check box item only? If not, anybody come up with a work around for it?

Thanks David, think I will call him on Monday

Forget the three hole punch guys, just by the paper pre punched at Staples. Dom, it would be nice if the margin could be set in HIP. I currently use a printer work around but it is awkward.

Anybody have any advice, cautions or such on doing sewer line video inspections. Any experience with the equipment and recommendations?

Thanks, Rich

 #1On a outside slope that has concrete stairs going up it, all at grade level, is a handrail required? #2 If each tread is greater then 36", is it considered a landing or a tread.  If it is indeed a landing, can the height of the riser differ, or most they be the same as they are required in stair treads?

Just ordered my 2 go from BJ's also. Thanks for posting the link with the coupon. They haven't confirmed shipping yet, but it looks like the shipping is 10.75 to San Diego. Funny how it takes me forever to make a decision,but once I do inpatients sets in.
