>>>I myself run into more Poor
Quailty Tempered Glass then Fab Deb. but...i can only speak for
myself. -- Craig
Aldrich<<<
Actually, my original message wasn't about
your approach, Craig - it was about the pitfalls of
finding scratches in order to get waivers signed, because the window
cleaners who do that aren't disc ussing fabricating debris with
builders.
I understand it wasn't about my
approach Gary,what i am saying alot more Window Cleaners are getting up
to speed with the fab deb issue and Poor Quality Tempered
Glass.
And i do network with quite a few and
do pass along all i can to help them so...they can educate the
builder.
But since you brought it up - what do you
figure the problem is with "poor quality tempered
glass", if it's not fabricating
debris?
I would
say thats a tuff one but...some tempered glass has POOR surface quality
& possibly it scratches easier due to the fact it was on the roller
side.
Do you have
a "poor quality tempered glass" waiver, too?
No i
dont, i run with 2 seperate waivers,but...im pondering the thought of
maybe re-wording a few paragraphs in order to cover both
spectrums!
>>>...i pitty the poor fool who does that much
damage.... <<<
You
have probably read hundreds of emails on this subject, and attended
seminars. So maybe NOW it
won't happen to you - but it might have happened to you before you were
exposed to all of that education.
And i Thank You, Dan Fields and so many
others for sharing there knowledge with me so im no longer in that
vulnerable position.
If it had
happened to you before you got up to speed, I would have figured you
were trying to do a good job the best way you knew how - the way the
builder wanted you to. The builder didn't warn you that they
installed self-scratching tempered glass - and if you had noticed
scratches while you were working you probably thought they were
already there.
And I wouldn't have thought you were a fool for doing
that.
For the record.. i
wasn't poking fun,its the dollar figure you used 25 Grand is alot of
scratched glass im sure most would realize long before they hit that
"DAMAGE FIGURE" something was wrong! If it meant examining each
pane after cleaning...before moving to the next. Basically i guess
it could fall into the common sense
category.
This is the
"Kicker" for me ...would a builder except paint or plaster even mortar
from the window supplier I THINK
NOT!
So why do some
builders except defective and even ITCHY glass that scratches when
cleaned Because...they didn't know until
NOW!
With a ll due
respect Gary i have gained an immense amount of knowledge from your
site,and others as well!I appreciate all you do for our Industry and
especially with the IWCA & Fab
Deb.
Im doing all i can
to educate other Window Cleaners & Builders and learn myself along
the way..its folks like you & Dan Fields that are leading the
way for the rest of us!
