kurt Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I've got a couple of the one's that cover the nose, they fit perfectly, and they're remarkably good for this think we do. http://vitaflexusastore.com I'm gonna buy some more.

Erby Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 $10 bucks for six of them. Ordered from Amazon. Gotta try it. Like to keep the cobwebs, spiders, lint etc out of my hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspectorjoe Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I received a sample in the mail the other day. I put it on for a few minutes, but it felt like it would be too hot to wear for an extended period of time. Maybe I'll give it a try on my next yucky crawl space.

kurt Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 It's a yucky crawlspace thing. It's primarily for those guys we see blowing foams & insulation, or painters, but it suits crawlspace work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Kurt, man, if neighbors see you traipsing around a 'hood in that hood, they're gonna call the cops on you. I can just imagine some kid glancing out a window and screaming, "MOMMY!! It's Jason!" Besides which, I can't imagine how that hood would mangle my carefully-coiffed do.

Erby Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Got mine in yesterday. Tried it today. Jeeze, should have had them a long time ago. Comfortable, no more cobwebs in the hair.

Jim Katen Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've always used painter's head socks. They keep out the cobwebs, but they let in the fine dust. These things are pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Whitmore Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Erby, you're killing me. You wear the mask, but no coveralls? Apparently you must have some clean crawlspaces down your way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just knock a duct off and cool it with that, then report it as in need of repair.[:-monkeyd[:-monkeyd[:-monkeyd Yeah, John, they're pretty clean, though a little low sometimes.

Marc Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Now I don't envy you northerners as much. Last crawl inspection, I came out, took off my coveralls, shook it in the wind a few times, folded it nice then put it back in my truck. I do get mud fairly often and occasionally rusted sheet metal or broken glass (hidden beneath dead grass). Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have not been in a crawl space for over five years. I shouldn't be in 'em. I'm beating myself up in these damned things. Every time I crawl out of one I feel like the Sounders have been bouncing balls off of me for a couple of hours. My doc told me last week that I gotta be out of my tree doing this crap at my age. He called this a "gig for younger men" and warned me that if I don't start looking for something easier to do I'm probably eventually looking at total knee replacement in both legs. Talk about caught between the rock and the hard place! ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 . . . My doc told me last week that I gotta be out of my tree doing this crap at my age. He called this a "gig for younger men" . . . My doctor told me exactly the same thing several years ago. I told her to stop bitching and tell me what other job I could do where I get paid to lie down. Of course, two weeks after that, she called me because there was a terrible smell coming from the crawlspace under her office. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 If it's a gig for younger men, why the dearth of younger men? Crawlspaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 If it's a gig for younger men, why the dearth of younger men? Crawlspaces? How many of you grew up wanting to be a home inspector? Heck, I didn't even know the profession existed, or at least had never thought of it until I found myself going to an interview....

kurt Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 True. It didn't exist until right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Few will endeavor to learn so much on their own. It's a lot of work but it's the key to long term success in this gig. Schools might someday change that. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
