OK, here are some down to earth questions on the new EPA/RRP Rules:
-How are we going to tell the year of the house? (Go to the Couthouse? Take the customers word for it?)
-Garden Sheds, etc? (How are we going to tell what year a Garden Shed was built? Most of them were built in a shop and delivered on a truck. Even on some smaller buildings, around here you don't need a permit for some of them. How are we going to tell what year those are?)
-Small Jobs? (Many of my jobs are small jobs. Some just 1 hour. Am I going to spend multi-hours of set-up and clean-up as well as the other expenses for a 1 hour job? And charge the customer multi-$100's for a $50 job?)
-Go Through it Twice? (Many times I will pull apart a job first in order to find out what materials and/or what measurements I will need, then order the materials. I will temporalily close-up a job, so the customer can use normally use the area, then when the materials are ready (some special made) I will simply open it back up. Would I need to go through the time-comsuming procedure twice? And the customer will pay for it twice? They are going to have a hard time understanding it once).
-Plasitc in Landfills? (There will be multi-1000's of tons of plastic, etc thrown away each year. We will be filling up our landfills with non-decomposable material. How about all the fossil fuels it will take to make all that plastic? Aren't we causing more problems trying to fix one?)
These are just some quick thoughts. I'm sure I'll have more. All answers are welcome.
