The Maintenance Shop – Handyman Services

This may be my last post regarding sprinkler start-ups themselves, because we only have about a dozen left, and most of them are for a property management company.  We will continue to get more start-ups I am sure, but the will be coming at a slow enough pace we can deal with all of them […]

Sorry for the delay in getting an updated post out.  The last few days have been a nightmare with some major water leaks that have messed up our schedule in a big way.  We were hoping to get all our current start-ups done by yesterday, but now it is looking more like Monday.  At least […]

Jesse will be bouncing around all over today as we work to complete all sprinkler start-ups by Thursday this week.  Today Jesse will be getting to the following streets in this order: Todd Way – Meridian – Complete except for backflow test Woodmont Drive – Meridian – Complete Interlachen Way – Meridian – Complete Main […]

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 […]
