Always keep a radio in my tool box and leave it on when I'm alone. That way nobody's suprised when I crawl out of the attic. Always wear hard soled house slippers. Just taking them out impresses the ladies. Using them probably has more to do with hiding the possible condition of my socks. Never park in the driveway (some exceptions, but not many). Never park in front of the house. Always use 2 of those orange cones to draw attention to my truck (more marketing than safety). Accept credit cards. PayPal couldn't make it any easier (check out my site). Always get a signed inspection agreement. No exceptions! I start by directing them to my web site to down-load, read and sign one. When they get to the inspection without it I hand them one, ask them to read and sign and don't accept it back until after I'm done. Always walk the roof (with the exception of snow, extreem hight, tooooo steep, wood shingles). Always respond to pissed-off clients. Enjoy what you're doing. If you don't... do something else. PWC

I recommend a licensed contractor. I don't know if they use one or not. I'll only do a re-inspection of a componant if provided reciepts. No reciepts, no re-inspection. PWC

Get one of those recycled plastic "Noodles" the kids use at the swimming pool ($3.00). Cut it into 1" sections. Cut those in 1/2 (like a half-mood), and stuff them into the ends (both ends) of the ladder rungs. Quiets 'em right down. Mine is a heavy tube type bolted to the roof of my topper (95 Dakota). The inside supports a 6' from the roof. The outside holds a 24' and 13'. Fiberglass only please... I want to live. Locked, secure and quiet. I love it. PWC Download Attachment: truck.jpg 47.25 KB

Happy New Year!!! PWC

I've been doing it for about 4 years. Only 2 times has anyone asked to be removed. When I meet people, they often refer to me as "the guy in my inbox". Recently, while working as a disaster contract inspector for FEMA, I put together some "Letters from the Field" and my wife sent them to my "list". Email seems to keep my name out there. Costs about 15 minutes of my time each month. Only send info people could use! Works for me. PWC
