Excellent videos Mike , but these belong on the premium Side!

I  doubt very highly a 50 point standard is being upheld by anyone here,Ha,Ha,...Chris just happens to be on film is all. I am not an RCIA member,..just a guest,.and I do not even know what the 50 points are,... nor do I care,...but I guarantee ya' I'm probably not even holding up to a small number of them,..and my business is just fine without them.

BINGO JEFF!

I bet if we secretly filmed anyone pushing the ridiculous 50 point standard, you wouldn't find 15 points being followed. { Ridiculous to me }

Of course, if you claim to adhere to this 50 point standard, you should be doing all 50 all the time or don't claim it.

It should have been a 5-10 point standard in the 1st place.

Then maybe there would be 5-10 important things to use as a guideline and we could have remembered half of them?

What do 50 point guys do, carry a notebook with the 50 points listed?

Who could remember all 50 without it written in front of you?

Not me!

If I had to wear a mask and goggles all the time, I'd quit roof cleaning and go back to being a brain surgeon, like I was before, working in air conditioning with my mask on!

I know what your thinking and I only practiced on myself 2 times - if I remember correctly? Where was I now? Oh, ya! - ? Now I remember!

Ain't no customers going to stand there and read no 50 points, nor check to see if you are doing all 50.

This of course is my opinion and maybe there are some who do all 50 all the time?

If you do, I am not talking about you.

I do remember a picture of AC in a space suit, Mask, Goggles, Jock Strap [maybe not the goggles?] cleaning a roof, but if a homeowner saw a guy in that getup on their roof, they would probably assume he was spraying a poison gas and that THE END OF THE WORLD was at hand! A bit much? Hey, I am only a simple man!

In my attached photo, you will se I am wearing my safety hat. I am losing quite a bit of hair at 63 and I'm trying to protect whats left!

OK.... Chris, you've been doing the a long time, and the videos are of great quality, but with the 50 point standards in mind:

 

1) I didnt see one piece of safety equipment, no safety goggles, respirator, or even gloves.

2) I see a guy walking backwards on a roof, numerous times....

3) the ladder is leaning directly on the gutters without a standoff...

Just a couple of examples....

Once we reach 20 years of experience, can we just do away with the safety stuff?

---

 4) Diverting the mix coming out of the gutter onto the lawn to soak in?

(and that fence on the side of the house took a beating with the run-off)

 The customer was told the old weathered wood fence might take an hit, and I offered to Tarp it for him. he asked what the chemicals would do, and I said "Clean it". What was not on video is my Son cleaning that whole part of the fence, like the customer wanted.

There are 4 videos, and I have not watched all and every part of them yet. What are you asking about, and what video is it in ?
