I spent years working for the DOD in Hazmat. I'm always amused seeing photos like the one in the article with mr van meter holding a rat in his bare hand with street clothes outside his tyvek and his sleeves are rolled up. Yea, I'm going to hire a 24 YT old to do what he claims and he can't even present a safe image of class C clothing and respirator. A little hint Mr van meter, what you are wearing is a nuisance mask, not one rated for viral protection under a house, nor asbestos. In the event of CO it does not provide oxygen and it's a safe bet, you've never heard of confined space entry certification. Having this business under your fathers license is a little questionable too but that's a matter for the CSLB...

Yeah, his mask won't stop the smell of flatulence either! You don't need all that PPE to go under a friggen house!

the man was just saying there is a right way to do things, and there is a halfass way, sounds like you go for the We'll just get by way and that's good enough.

I wonder if your wife likes that attitude???

My wife loves my attitude, but your mother truly enjoys it when I bend her over the halfass way!
