We have already completed 80 more sprinkler blowouts than we did all last season, and we still have 2-3 weeks or so of blowouts to go depending on new requests and cancellations. This will be another record-breaking year for sprinkler blowouts. I hope to have two more machines by next season, so we will probably beat this years record thanks to all our repeat customers and personal referrals we receive from those who have been with us for a long time.
Jesse and Justin cleaned up 36 sprinkler blowouts in the 83709 yesterday while I stayed in my office working on paperwork, examining a sprinkler main that will have to be dug up soon, and attempted to change spark plugs in my truck. I can fix just about anything, but I cannot stand working on automobiles. Especially trucks that require 16 spark plugs, with nearly half of them too difficult to reach. Only had time to change 4 of them, so will try squeezing more of them in to an already hectic schedule of paperwork that keeps me up for all hours as it is. It’s already 1:30 a.m., and I am nowhere near ready for today’s workload.
We are going to have one rig working in the 83709 today while the other works in the 83642. We have almost whittled the two zip codes down into a manageable group. Jesse is filling in for Justin today because he hurt his shoulder that he is supposed to be carefully with in the first place since his surgery. At this point I do not know whether I am putting Jesse in the 09 or the 42, but hope to have that figured out by the time I wake up, if I actually get to go to sleep……….
We are still trying to plan our attack based on whoever has been waiting the longest in the zip code, and working around that area. in the 83709 that would be Pepperridge way, (194th signup) so we will work our route to cover that street, and in the 83642 the one who has waited the longest is on Marsala Way, (18th signup). Of course, when I send out the notices that we will be there today I will get 2-3 last-minute cancellations in which case I get to start all over again because someone didn’t cancell as they were supposed to do…… Another reason it takes me so long to get out of my office. The one’s who do that don’t care that it throws everyone else’s blowouts off.
Here are the maps for today. For some reason the Pepperridge Way house decided not to show up on the map.
