Jesse finished up all but a few of the sprinkler start-ups in Caldwell yesterday, along with a few major repairs as well.  I was originally going to work in the 83709 today, but then my wife reminded me of a grandson’s birthday party we need to attend this afternoon, so will post-pone my rounds again […]

Thank you rain!  As much as we hate working in the rain, this gives us an opportunity to work at catching up on our sprinkler start-ups and repairs, and get yards watered that we haven’t made it to yet. Today Jesse is doing a dryer vent clean-out in Caldwell that has been on the schedule […]

We have to finish up two jobs in Avimor this morning, and then Jesse will be going to Nampa to dig up a main valve while I do some turn-ons for Package “A” customers since they are quick and easy to do to get the numbers down.  I am hoping Avimor won’t take too long […]

Jesse has to go to a doctor’s appointment with his wife this morning, and then we will both be up in Avimor doing repairs on 3 backflow preventers.  Afterwards, time willing, I will put Jesse on start-ups the Boise 83709 while I work any time left in the 83706.  I doubt there will be a […]

Only 69 sprinkler start-ups to go at the time of this writing.  Still LOTS of repairs to do, but we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Jesse will be doing sprinkler start-ups today in the Boise 83713 zip code while I work in the Boise 83716 doing start-ups and backflow tests.  Time […]

It looks like Justin will not be able to work with us again for quite some time if at all. He is visiting with a surgeon today regarding his back. When you are sent directly to a surgeon for a consultation, that usually isn’t good news. Justin as worked with us off and on for […]

Jesse is working in Nampa, Caldwell, Middleton, Star, and Kuna today, or trying to at least. He has a LOT in Nampa to do. Not sure if he will make it out of Nampa today, but we shall see. I will be repairing two backflow preventers and doing more testing around the valley today. Justin […]

I will be working on Package “A” start-ups today as well as a few backflow tests here and there. Jesse and Justin have all the heads, nozzles, and other parts in their rigs, so they will be working on the “B”s, and “D”s, and I will add the “D”s to by list of backflows that […]

Avimor went well yesterday, however we didn’t make it up there until 1:30 pm because of some loose ends I had to tie up in the morning. Jesse knocked out some start-ups in Kuna yesterday while he was waiting on me. Tested 15 backflows in Avimor yesterday afternoon and got a handful of some sprinkler […]

Jesse and I will be together for a while in Avimor this morning to take care of 11 start-ups only with backflow test. I figure doubling up on them today will save some time so we can get back to civilization, so to speak. Our cell phones do not work up there, so at least […]
