Been hard at work updating and reorganizing http:// www.scratched-glass.net
Easier to follow - LOTS easier to find stuff now.
It was way overdue, and I’m not really done updating comments – but please let me know what you think.
(It's about what's wrong with some tempered glass - and about...
People are talking about how this board is run - I'm asking questions about that.
As I said earlier, it seems likely the window board will be owned and operated the same way.
I don't believe I've ever used a camera at the Picnic - but people do, and pictures get back to me.
Racenstein has some on their blog right now http://www.jracenstein.com/blog/
They also got pictures of all the tee box sponsor signs at the Picnic - I haven't seen those pics yet, and I don't...
Interesting numbers for the Window Cleaning Network Picnic the weekend of July 28.
Some assume the Picnic is lunch and demos for the same little group of local guys every year - the numbers tell a different story.
Of the 88 attendees, 41 represented window cleaning companies as the...

For any of my new PW friends who maybe forgot to register - the Window Cleaning Network Picnic is the weekend of July 28 – and it’s coming on fast.
FYI - Registration rates for the Picnic are going to stay at last year's rate until July 15.
I didn't raise them last week as planned - too busy to...
A jury trial is underway in civil court in San Diego – a window cleaner who lost both arms is suing the power company.
http://www.10news.com/news/31185910/detail.html It is sad and scary - and more complicated than you probably thought. Sounds like the power lines shouldn't have been there -...
As a result of two appeals to ANSI regarding procedural non-compliance that triggered a special audit by ANSI's Executive Standards Council, the council has decided to suspend the I14 committee's accreditation.
The committee - and the IWCA as secretariat - have been given the option to appeal...
Ron, On Facebook you said 5 pressure washers have been killed this year using waterfed poles, lifts and ladders around power lines?
Can I read about any of them here?
Ron found this and posted it on Facebook.
Perry Tait is a waterfed pole manufacturer - in this video he shows how to prove to yourself (or train someone) to know how much scrubbing is really needed with a waterfed pole.
He scrubs one area 4 times, another 3, then 2, 1, and a rinse only.
In this...
Classic Picnic interview - it's my best all time video interview.

Only thing is - it's 2 years old - so there's no mention of steaks and fireworks - or PW stuff we do.
And of course the 2012 Picnic is July 28.
Overnight, a window cleaner in Chicago was injured when a chain reaction vehicle crash rocked him from his raised aerial lift.
This story has several photos of the scene. I think what I’m seeing is a van mounted lift that broke away;

A few of the people we already know are coming -
Thad Eckhoff
Kyle Ballweg
Geof White
Josh Cronin
Anyone else coming from this board?
The Picnic is a networking event - not an expo - so we only promise there'll be enough PW stuff to get you talking.
You're also welcome to bring your own rig...
