>>>For the
record.. i wasn't poking fun,its the dollar figure you used 25 Grand is alot of
scratched glass im sure most would realize long before they hit that "DAMAGE
FIGURE" something was wrong!

You only have to scratch a couple 8-foot storefront
panes and a couple of automatic doors to hit the $10,000 mark. Anyone who
didn't know a thing about fabricating debris could cause this much damage in
about half an hour.
Imagine what could happen if you had two or three
people all on that job, and they each did that much damage.
I did a construction cleanup at a grocery store a few
years ago where all the automatic doors (8 of them), and all the glass in the
double-entryways had fabricating debris (8 very large pieces), but the windows
across the front of the store did not. Fortunately, I knew what to look
out for, and I didn't do any damage, but that could easily have been a 20 or 30
grand hit.
I'm guessing that the vast majority of window cleaners
still don't know anything about fabricating debris. If you never do
construction cleanup, you may not run into it.
And on new buildings, you may show up after the CCU
company has already put all the scratches into the glass, and just assume that
they were caused by the concrete guy, or the stucco guy, or the
painter.
The first time a window cleaner sees fabricating
debris, he will scratch the glass, and he won't know what happened...unless he
happened to spend some time here talking with us. Hopefully he won't
scratch so much that it puts him out of
business.
