I get my best visual concepts when I'm working solo, not listening to pointless chatter. If management wants better designs, they should let us think in peace.
I was focusing on my stomach muscles to avoid back pain, and the clippers jumped from a sudden movement. Have you ever nicked hair because of a workout routine?
I always believed old methods were best for checking chimneys. Then I saw a video from a sweep who found hidden damage with a camera. I decided to get one for my next job. On that job, the camera found a bird nest I would have missed. Now, I rely on it for every inspection. It helps me give better reports to homeowners. I tell all new sweeps to consider adding a camera to their gear.
