New Cleaning Manual -- Photos Needed

[Ron Musgraves]

I think we all need to remember that Phil is an educator, the biggest in our industry. He has written more training material for our industry than probably all of the other experts combined. I have all of his manuals and keep them close by, I open each one every day, and it seems like I get something out of them each time.

Education is a thankless job, I think we should do everything we can to help out, and in the long run we will all be better people for it.

Maybe it is time to get this thread back on topic, and post some stuff that Phil might be able to use in his next cleaning manual. I will be emailing the full size photos of the scraper I tried to post earlier to him, and hopefully it will make it in to the new book.

I am sure there are other guys out there that have stuff to contribute, lets try to remain proffesional on this.

Thanks Matt, i'm sure phil apprecietes a leader like you making that point and step.

Thanks for helping and thanks for supporting PWi.

Phil's manuals were a huge part in starting my business. Lot's of good stuff.

I think most issues brought up here are to do with the "do as I say, not as I do" aspect of training courses and schools. Not only Phil's course at Derby, but all training and certification programs.

Many of us have seen first hand the work performed by those training and educating the industry, and unfortunately it is substandard and in some cases could be considered shoddy. Each of us have to hold ourselves and our employees accountable for our services performed, especially those of us who train and certify for the industry.

We're making small, but significant, steps in improving the workmanship of KEC across the US. The CHDCA voted this year to start holding our members accountable for their work. Rusty's Hood Cleaning School has also commited to starting a before and after picture program for their training package. Small steps like these will eventually snowball into a better and more respectable industry.

As for the pictures for Phil, I too will be sending some, and hope to have a spot in the new manual.

Thanks Phil for all you have done for educating the industry we are a part of. I hope we can all work together for bettering the future of KEC.

hahahahah! Nice!!!

Phil I have some pictures of a tool, but I don't think you want him in your manual

Here is an adjustable pole scraper, the angles can be adjusted so you can get leverage down the duct:

Nice Job Matt
