I texted the lube truck driver yesterday afternoon and asked if the shop had been cleaned up yet. He sent this to me.....
He said NO and it might be a little worse. 
I told him to clean this up Monday morning right after the loader left the building. Still nothing. The lube truck driver said several employees had complained to him about the grease outside everywhere...........it is getting driven through, and it is transferring to their truck floorboards via their boots. I told him they need to complain to LMM and Alan.
To those of you wondering how the grease explosion happened..............it doesn't matter how it happened. What matters is what happened afterward. I have knocked over numerous buckets of fluid, had hydraulic hoses spray, grease gun failures, in my career. It was never left like this for someone else to clean up. When it happened to me, I cleaned up my mess to the point where you couldn't tell it even happened. This is just sloppiness, plain and simple.
He works like this also. Last week I helped remove the right boom cylinder rod for a rod pull reseal. I already knew this guy didn't know much........but the fact that he started to put the boom stop on the cylinder that we were getting ready to tear down just confirmed it. I didn't trust him to install the seals correctly, so I did that myself. I prepped the cylinder for reinstall..............he grabbed the cylinder rod with his filthy hands, one being between the gland and the rod, .........which I could see grit residue on it, then he pushed the rod all the way into the barrel to the gland and started tightening it. I said "That rod needs to be clean when you go in with it. That greasy grit will get into the hydraulic system and cause other problems, much less score the seals I just put in it."
There is no telling what he has been doing in the field. I believe Alan, since he has no clue about service or repair, thinks this is normal. OMG..........things will be a mess soon. I'll get to start all over again..........If I feel like it.
