Re: Play Fine Homebuilding's Game "The Inspector"

To the writer of the game:

Improved my knowledge, it was fun.
I finally got 4 right
my score=-1080

I know gutters are not period but couldn't find the 5 total.
If you could have it so when we get to some number of points, the answers would reveal themselves and the game is over. At -1050 points would have been right for me.

Re: Play Fine Homebuilding's Game "The Inspector"

To the writer of the game:

Please, Please, Please-

For those of us who want to learn and aren't in the industry, we look at the pictures in the inspector and say, "Hmmm, looks ok to me, I don't know." But we would like to know, if you could post the answer in some way as a teaching tool after the fact, we home-repair-never-taughts could learn.

We want to learn!
Put a link in if you are stumped.

We need clear pictures and arrows and good explanations. We need to why it is done a certain way.

If this was available, I would be clicking on most of your sent e-mails, instead of saying this isn't at my level of understanding.

But we want to learn.
