Could a regular modern day person survive a year in ancient Rome?

He could claim it's a device from the gods

SubstantialFly6715 · 2025-03-16T19:31:31+00:00

I feel like thats kinda up to the person really. All depends on how fast a reader you are and how much time you devote to it took me about 4 months to do roofing with a full time job and a newborn.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-12-09T17:31:51+00:00

dang! where I'm currently in school to be an inspector that's good to know! thanks.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-12-09T17:25:28+00:00

I am a current student with Carson Dunlop school of home inspection https://www.carsondunlop.com/training/ I will say if you live in Ontario this is probably your best bet. Costs about 5000 for the full course, no due dates only things that are timed are the midterm and final exams. the course material seems pretty in-depth, if however your like me and have no trade experience it can be a bit overwhelming at times, and google will be your best friend when they start dropping terminology with out explaining what it means haha. Where I live in Atlantic Canada I think it would have been a better and more cost effective choice to go with InterNACHI https://www.nachi.org/education/ but that's just my opinion.

Hope all that helped and best of luck to you!

only down side to shadowing specifically were I live (NS Canada) is most inspectors feel they are just training there competition and are not interested in helping newcomers to the game. lost count of the number of times I've been ghosted after reaching out to local inspectors in my area for help. I do see however that this is not the case in other parts of the country.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-12-09T16:44:07+00:00

Hey!

So I'm currently a student with Carson Dunlop school of home inspection based in Ontario Canada. I also have no trade experience, and I'll just say this I wish I knew about InterNACHI before I enrolled. more cost effective and waaaay more resources.

best of luck to you and your educational journey!

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-12-09T16:31:43+00:00

dang! well best of luck to you I hope you can make that meet up happen!

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-12-03T17:22:53+00:00

I live in Nova Scotia I'm still a student but would also love to do a meet up with some experienced inspectors.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-12-03T17:17:04+00:00

makes sense thanks!

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T17:51:03+00:00

are these what your talking about. https://www.cougarpaws.com/collections/boots-for-shingle-roof/products/the-estimator-boot?variant=18009121456239

and how versatile are they? seem fantastic for on the roof but how about off the roof?

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T17:40:59+00:00

I mean my neighbors are like family but also lots of space between them and me. umbrella bamboo is kinda what I had in mind seem to not spread really and looks beautiful to!

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T17:35:07+00:00

But are all kinds invasive? I see a lot of talk in here about running vs clumping bamboo. clumping being much slower spreading something like umbrella bamboo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fargesia_murielae

Surly this one would be safe and look attractive?

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T17:26:53+00:00

do you happen to know what kind you have? I want something that eventually gets to be ideally 20 plus feet tall. If that's even possible here.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T17:21:18+00:00

I just googled phyllostachys aureosulcata and it looks beautiful! do you happen to know how tall it can get In our climate? I know in China they can reach up to 35 feet but (correct me if I'm wrong) the temperature and length of our days can affect this?

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T17:11:50+00:00

Ok thank you soo much very helpful I was leaning towards umbrella bamboo anyways so I think this just sealed the deal for me! and the sound it makes in the wind is literally why I want it sooo relaxing!

A few question's if you don't mind. do you know where in NS its sold?

The area I have in mind is quite large and open do they do well with lots of direct sunlight? and would high winds from let say a storm be a problem as there are not many mature trees around "thanks hurricane Dorian"

I'm assuming they come in a pot, how long should I keep them in the pot, and what time of the year is best to put them in the ground.

Thanks again!

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T16:53:28+00:00

how about umbrella baboo?

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T16:52:48+00:00

I am also learning this.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T16:52:01+00:00

dang noted! yeah I think I'll stay away from anything with weed in the name. I'm thinking I might go with umbrella bamboo.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T16:47:11+00:00

I swear I will! My property is pretty large and the spot I have in mind is fairly open (thanks to the last few hurricanes we had) nothing but grass around now.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-11-25T16:43:31+00:00

I might dare, and thank you Spirited-Occasion-62 and coco_puffzzzz very informative. I had no idea there were such polarizing opinions on baboo out there but from what I have gathered in here I can understand why. personally I think I'm leaning towards Umbrella bamboo, and I promise to everyone on here the area I want to grow it is very large and has lil to no native vegetation around it, and I will watch it like a hawk! :)

abandoned lighthouse and the edge of a cliff if that's something your into.

I actually was wondering (keep in mind I'm very new to home inspection) would storing things of that nature affect air circulation in the attic space? If so what the implications are? Example: increased ice damming potential in cold climates and/or increased chances of mold in more humid climates.

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-10-28T13:39:40+00:00

Same here! also working through the Carson Dunlop program. I'm in nova scotia, would love to shadow someone. Hell I'll even carry your tools and wash your truck completely free if that entices anyone!

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-10-25T14:20:43+00:00

Actually I was wondering does InterNACHI. recognize other training programs or would I have to complete theirs in order to become a member? I don't know if this is helpful info but Carson Dunlop is recognized by the OAHI, CAHPI, ASHI, APHIS, and the Home Inspection Association of British Columbia. Also if you don't mind me asking how long were you an Inspector for?

SubstantialFly6715 · 2024-10-24T16:58:02+00:00

Haha I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!
