Has anyone ever worked with a guy like this?
A company cant survive with this type of worker.
you mean a guy for whom every little thing is a problem?
Definitely worked with that type of guy…no fun at all.
I don’t care much for this guy. His wife seems really nice, but he seems like a turd most of the time. He is about as unprofessional as you can get IMO. I don’t say that to knock him, but I certainly wouldn’t hire him for anything, and neither would any of my clients.
Him and Kalfas make a good pair…
Waste of my time watching this​:construction:
All he did was dribble shit. Not very informative 
Kalfas is an unprofessional goofball, but at least he’s got positivity, and has helped inspire guys to get started, or to keep up the fight with a positive attitude.
This dude, on the other hand, just oozes with negativity. There’s too much of that in the world, already.
It is my observation, he has inspired many people to be hacks. He’s a prime example of the 50 bucks to start a business, guy. That attitude is detrimental to all of us in business and those who want to start one LEGIT.
He also is a salesman. A lot of what he says, only goes inline to promote what he wants to sell them.
As I said over in the thread about power washing, this hacks starting a “business” is making it tougher for anyone else to get started, as well as costing those already in the business more.
I do not support people whom end up making the industry worse. IMO, both of them are making things WORSE, rather than better.
I am surprised anyone would hire Charlie, if they ever watched his videos. But then, I get the feeling I know the kind of clients he would market to…

So you WFP the inside of this?
Was is 3 or was it 4 guys?
What are permit boards?
Isn’t sheet rock on the walls? why would you need to cover the walls?
Why a lift? That can be done with a ladder.
I would never use a ladder when I could use a lift…
To each their own, do you own a lift or rent it? Because if youre renting a lift and im not, im making way more on this type of job using a ladder.
Why are you charging for a lift and not using it?
You might find that commercial customers are more favorable to risk reduction than, laddering to save a buck.
I have not beeen able to use a 40’ ladder in a public space like that for many years, it would be lift only work imho.
Ladders aren’t dangerous alone, inexperienced/untrained people using them are.
We use lifts where it is not practical to ladder or if it completely saves time.
I wouldnt charge for a lift, when im using a ladder @Steve076. I would charge what i always charge to do such ladder work. This is not a big job imo and have never had issues using ladders in these situations. Its just another way to do it. If you bid the job using a lift and i bid it using a ladder at a lower price, most the time, usually everytime where im from ill get the job. If i could use a ladder over a lift in Any situation ill always use a ladder, but im aware that people have different practices than me, so if you deem it necessary to use a lift than its necessary. 
A big difference from residential companies from commercial companies is the abolity and use of ladders.
I’m not saying its not safe to use a ladder for this job, I’m just saying here in Australia I would need to use a lift for this particular instance, as it would appear to be a commercial lobby?
Ladders here are not classed as a work platform, they are an access tool, working off a ladder is seriously frowned upon, and is policed in some cities, the only way to get away with it if there is no other reasonable access. If a lift can be used it should is how the OH&S laws here state it.
Here I would get preference in my quote if I quoted it to do with a lift vs a ladder.
