The Google button on the internet machine is telling me my delta kit package is out for delivery. I am stoked to get started.
So my new business plan to get started is my business card and a base ball bat...anyone had any luck with this before?
Jokes...for now
I am going to take before and after pics of my first attempt and post them for critique.
Cheers!

The HLR was good to go, no worries there.
The WSR has left me with a few questions:
1. How do you take a good clear pic of a crack? Whats the trick cause then it would make 2. and on much easier
Let me know and I will get a pic up and post my ponderances

When taking pictures of damage it is best to set the camera in macro mode and turn the flash off. If your camera has a timer use it also use a tripod or place your camera on a table so it won't move.

It also helps to take a Sharpie marker and draw an arrow on the glass pointing to the damage, otherwise the camera has trouble focusing on the damage and will focus on something through the glass leaving the damage looking blurry.

Draw a circle on a piece of paper and tape on the inside of the ws- now use macro setting as mentioned and the camera has something to focus on.
You can also place your mirror inside and take your picture of the mirror image-this is my new way and works well for me.
