TOPIC: Found a "Few Good Links"

Okay, so I found some good links, however they're from the CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation).  As such any American inspectors may want to read the information first to ensure any information conforms to there local and/or state laws. 

Here they are in no specific order:

General Maintenance and Repair:

(This first page is the page where all the links below were generated from.  There are also more link there then I've posted here.  But I felt some weren't of any use for Home Inspection Reports.  But feel free to look around, as some might feel differently then me.)

CMHC has a lot of good articles, both free and for a price.

Yes they do!  I haven't checked out any of there fee paid stuff, but the free stuff seems pretty good.  If you put the link in one of your reports, I believe your clients will find a lots of good info here, and the links all have many illustrations to help you make your point.  Does anyone else have any good links or web pages to check out?
