I just saw an inspector's website where he states that he shows up dressed as a professional in a white shirt and tie. I guess I'm doing something wrong. I don't think a white shirt would last until I got to an inspection and it would be so messed up in such a short time that it would have to be classified as throw-away. I'd probably hang myself from the attic trusses if I wore a tie. I guess my khaki pants or shorts and short-sleeve shirt puts me down in the common laborer class.
The problem is that I'd really like to wear a white shirt but I'm a dirt positive person. Dirt flies to me even in clean rooms. I can shine a light through a crawl space and see nary a spec of anything floating in the air. But let me just get in the there and all of a sudden there is a storm cloud of dust, insulation, and mold (mould) racing towards me. Can you imagine what my white shirt would look like after I got down on the floor in the basement to see the condition of the gas water heater burner?
OK. I know there are Tyvek coveralls and the like, but I'm also very SWEAT positive and that Tyvek stuff causes an in-the-suit rain storm when I wear it. Cotton coveralls are better, but then I would have to strip out of the white shirt, and pants to be able to wear the coveralls comfortably so why bother?
The white shirt guy must be dirt negative. I was once at a crab feast and there was a young Army Lt. there dressed in white shorts and a nice shirt that was of the summery type. He was dirt negative. He had this very neat pile of crab shells and crab parts in front of him and not one spot of crab juice or anything else on his clothes. Of course he had the benefit of me, a very dirt positive person, sitting near by.
Tie? No away, reduces blood flow to the brain, resulting in pointy-haired management types.
Have a great Thanksgiving!:)
