Really a great program you have for OUR houses, wish this could happen in our state Capital, also city. This sure help to keep Washington D.C. young.
I once performed OSHA 10-hour construction training for staff at operations center of The Architect of the Capitol. They had all sorts of trades represented at the class, including carpenters, plumbers, electricians, tile workers, and masonry workers. I must admit it was once of the most enjoyable teaching experiences I've ever had.
I appreciate the detailed breakdown of the inspection process. It's impressive how the Capitol Architect's team uses cutting-edge technology for the assessments. I wonder if other historic buildings across the world follow similar inspection protocols.
