Re: Independent inspectors 62Feb 13, 2008 11:40 am mattwalker Casa2 Surely Kevin isn't the only building inspector in the universe No but he is the best...IMO I will send him an email tonight and see if there is a good reason for his absense! Perhaps there was a death in the family? An overseas trip?? Who knows. I think casting dispersions without any foundation is unnecessary.... I totally agree Matt.... he is a one man show remember everyone, so he is probably spread very thinly???? Re: Independent inspectors 63Feb 13, 2008 11:48 am Phoenix,
Have you spoken with Kev before? When are you planning to use an independent inspector? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: Independent inspectors 64Feb 13, 2008 11:55 am I have spoken with kevin today using the "batphone" and he has apologised for not having returned calls in last few weeks. He has been exceptionally busy and had a few personal issues to deal with...
VJ, Kevin has promised me he will return / take your call today. To everyone else: To help Kevin out when leaving a message make sure you make reference to the fact that you are a forum member and leave all your details. He has promised to make a concience effort to help forum members out.

It must be something similar to the "Bee antenna phone" thing I saw in the "Bee movie".... Re: Independent inspectors 69Feb 13, 2008 12:09 pm **Phoenix** Kevin will look after you don't stress. He better!! Re: Independent inspectors 70Feb 13, 2008 12:17 pm I've spoken with Kevin!
I realised that Matt doesn't know my real name, so I decided to ring him. I told him that Matt referred me, I am from homeone.. and my name here is VJ, hehe. I will ring him as soon as we receive the invoice for the frame. Thanks Matt! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ As per Wikipedia, the BAT PHONE " is a common business euphemism for a private telephone number that is handled at a higher priority than a public line. The name derives from Commissioner Gordon's secure line to the "Batphone" in the 1960s-era Batman television show. The "bat phone" is the phone that gets answered after hours, or the number that does not make the caller wait on hold or navigate through cumbersome voice menus, or the number that rings straight to high-level management or technicians without having to be escalated from the front lines. Bat phones are common in many industries. The phone numbers are typically given to key customers so that they may reach important individuals in case of emergencies or critical situations. Bat phones can also provide direct access to politicians or notable people." Re: Independent inspectors 72Feb 13, 2008 12:35 pm Oh!
lol I just left a message on his mobile that said: "Hi its Matt. Call me back you b*st*rd!!!" The description is funny though!

Kevin's obviously got a good sense of humour then??? BTW, I've left Kevin a voice mail on his mbl this afternoon. Although we are not desperate to get him just yet, it is more to give him a "head's up" to add us to his list of forum members requiring his expertise in upcoming weeks... Hey Matt, do you getting a spotters fee for hooking us up with Kevin???? Re: Independent inspectors 77Feb 13, 2008 9:18 pm Kev's poor phone must be wearing out at an alarming rate. Re: Independent inspectors 78Feb 13, 2008 10:37 pm Phoenix,
