The Maintenance Shop – Handyman Services

63 blowouts completed yesterday.  Jesse did about 26% of the 83713, while Jacob and I worked opposite sides of Meridian.  By Sunday evening we will have around 600 sprinkler blowouts completed – Not bad for two weeks of long hours and hardly any sleep, and 20 hours of overtime pay for Jacob and Jesse.  They […]

I was so tired when I called it quits early this morning that I forgot to publish the post I wrote for yesterday. First post I have missed in years. I guess that’s what happens when you get 5 hours of sleep in two days……  Speaking of no sleep, I am faceplanting into my computer […]

Here it is nearly 3 a.m. and I am still working to put routes together for three machines.  This is the way it will be until the first week of December when I finally get tired of taking new requests for a sprinkler blowout.  If I don’t stop it at some point we will get […]

I need to keep this post as short as possible so I can continue getting routes ready for today.  Eagle didn’t go as planned yesterday, so instead of just one machine to finish Eagle I will be sending two, which unfortunately means the 83642 has to be moved to the next day. I have an […]

I personally cleaned up Avimor, Horseshoe Bend, and Hidden Springs yesterday.  I am sure more will come in, but they will have to wait until our next pass. Jacob, Jesse, and I will all be working in Eagle today, and part of tomorrow.  On Tuesday I will be heading into Idaho Spine & Pain to […]

We made a small dent in the 83705 on Saturday, and got all but 4 that we currently had in the 83702 because we ran out of daylight.  We will get back to the 83702 to finish up the small amount we have left, and will schedule to get to the 83705 again soon.  I […]

We worked in the 83702, 83703, and 83704 yesterday and completed 45.  That isn’t a bad number for city water connections because it generally takes longer to get the city systems ready to go. Jesse will be working primarily in the 83702 while Jacob and I tackle the 83705.  If there is time left, Jesse […]

We will clean-up any we missed in the 83703 and 83704 today and start the 83702.  Saturday we will continue on with the 83702 and then head over the 83705. I will be working some of the Meridian area in the morning in areas where we had some pre-paid services to get them out of […]

We were down one technician yesterday, so we didn’t get as much accomplished as we wanted to, but all techs will be in business today. We are going to finish the remainder of the Boise 83704 today as well as have one machine in the Boise 83703.  There are only 24 in the 83703, so […]

We are still running into customers who aren’t getting our mass texts.  It is best to visit this blog daily for an update.  That is something we have full control on which makes it the best option. One of my sons (28), who was out doing blowouts on his own came back yesterday evening in […]
