For those interested, the PA Guild of Professional Chimney Sweeps is sponsoring the CSIA Diagnosis and Documentation seminar on July 30 to August 1, 2007.
As of yesterday, I was the only one signed up for the course, but the CSIA rep stated most folks do not sign up until the last minute. (I guess I should not have been worried about the seminar closing out, but I will be coming from North NJ and have to plan for these educational excursions)
A quick summary from the website, the seminar covers basic chimney construction, history of building codes, changes to the code and codes that impact, words to use and avoid when preparing a report, thermal failures, ceramic theory and how it applies to chimney diagnosis.
Fees: Non-members is $660, NCSG members is $560. Darn cheap for a 3-day seminar, I think.
