ha, guys, if it were that easy i woulda done it thats for sure, he is worried about the visor plate not being worth the money and that it will bend, he isnt a climber and doesnt have much experience in the field, im going to try the cut out first, and if it does it again, ill insist on the plate, it seems that everytime i get something new its because the old one broke and there was potential for a lot of damage. i got all new rigging lines when we had a 3/4 inch bull rope break on us when rigging down pieces, had i been rigging down over a house and needed prescise accuracy we would have been in big trouble, same goes for our new eye slings, the other ones where so old that i snapped one out on a smaller piece of maple, we were fortunate that it fell onto the lawn between the sprinkler markouts
im not sure what he is doing with all the extra money he makes, and its none of my business, but i do know that we have been working over time for the past 3 months, we are sore, tired and getting sick of it all but yet we still have to fight tooth and nail for a new chain or a new hardhat for one of the guys, or a simple yet effective 100 dollar part, its been this way since the beginning, i know every price in every catalog for everything because i have to find the best deals and come up with a very good reason we should buy it and show its effectiveness for at least 6 months after we purchased it or ill hear about it everyday for the rest of my career there. the experience has made me a very very good foreman and accountaint at this point
