TOPIC: Illustrations

Does anyone have a good source for illustrations? I use them in my reports and have noticed some of you folks do the same. Does anyone have a good source good, simple illustrations???

Thanks, Tim

I have a fairly large library.

Most I paid for.

I have many but there are:

Carson Dunlop, illustrated home (paid for this)
Inachi illustrations (won this)
Code check  (paid for)
I have a few of Mr fix it

I have a lot from fellow members and the internet.


If you have a certain one you would like I could post for you??

Like David, I have researched and purchased numerous illustration guides / CD's / and files.  Check "Craiglook.com"  It is a site that searches and compiles items for sale on ALL Craigslists nationwide.  You would be surprised at how many home inspectors go out of business and sell their stuff on Craigslist. 

What it comes down to it these are tools.  I know it can be expensive to start this business but tools are a personal thing.  As a professional, these tools should be part of your inventory.  There is nothing worse than having to spend time trying to find an illustration in the middle of trying to finish a report.  The list that David put out is a good one. 

Borrowing an illustration for a last minute report can be great, but in the long run, spend the bucks and get a couple sets.

Good luck.

Agreed. I don't mind spending the money if I know what I'm getting. What I don't like is buying something and it's useless. I'm we've all done it.
