Steve has excellent reputation - I especially like his company because they use an electronic radon measurement device (chronograph) rather than the two hockey puck sensors. 

I personally cannot say enough about the podcasts.I hope you find this site as excellent as I do!

We are going to watch the video tutorials tomorrow as soon as I get home from work. 

On the upside, they usually post videos of each speaker to Youtube fairly soon after the event.

The class was an excellent way to prepare as it was in person and not online and I had a knowledgeable and charismatic instructor.

I would video tape or photograph the house in case something gets stolen. 

I've spent the past several months getting my basic REI education, devouring dozens of books, reading countless articles (most of BP), and watching hours of videos.  

The videos are very helpful and short for people like me with limited attention spans (!).
