The Maintenance Shop – Handyman Services

As we do every year, today is the day we raise our price for NEW requests to $40 for up to 6 zones and $5 per additional zone in a effort to slow down the new requests.  It does work to a degree, but it could be partly because most other blowout companies are finished […]

I usually take November 9 off for my wife’s birthday, but we have an important family event to attend this afternoon, so we are all going to work this morning in the Meridian 83646 not far from the nest.  Since this is a family business, all technicians and office staff will be out of commission […]

I usually respond to comments on this blog while I am preparing my next post, but that isn’t happening today.  Too – Dang – Tired. 59 sprinkler blowouts bit the dust yesterday.  Jesse cleaned up the Boise 83702 yesterday while Jacob and I nearly cleared up the 83705.  There were about 3 of them that […]

More changes need to be made to our Calendar.  We will have to stay in the Boise 83705 for another day, which bumps out the 83706.  I will have to split the time with the 83704 for a few days to get the 83706 taken care of.  I will work on that schedule more tonight. […]

Yesterday was not a good day in sprinkler blowout land.  Jesse’s wife, (my daughter) had a doctor appointment that he had to be at yesterday morning, so he was late getting out.  I had the nerve ablation on my spine early afternoon, and Jacob was under the weather yesterday morning.  Jesse headed to Eagle after […]

Today went well actually in Eagle and the Boise 83716.  We should be able to finish up our current list of those areas today so we can move on to downtown Boise. I have more nerve ablation today early afternoon as they work their way up my spine.  There will be a follow-up appointment in […]

We are behind schedule, so I had to make some adjustments to our calendar.  We were originally going to have 3 rigs in the 83716 today, but had to make a change and put 2 rigs in Eagle and 1 in the 83716.  That has thrown of our plan for the rest of the week, […]

We will have to stay in the Nampa 83687 one more day to clean up the blowouts that have been on our route for a while. Those who signed up in  the area over the last few days will have to wait until our next pass through the zip code. Some zip codes get so […]

Yesterday went pretty smoothly.  We took care of all our pre-paid Meridian customers except for two with locked gates.  Jesse made a small dent in the Nampa 83687 after he got his new truck.  He won’t be able to make it throught the remainder of the route in one day, so we will have to […]
