We finished sprinkler blowouts in Middleton and Star on Thursday, but it was REALLY rough going. Due to the snow, it took forever to find valve boxes, and sometimes even the main, valve boxes were stuck to the ground and were hard to remove, solenoids were hard to open, sometimes even with the timer, exterior galvanized hose bibs on irrigation where we hook into on several properties were lightly frozen and had to be thawed, and finally, we were slipping and a sliding about everywhere we went. It took all day to do just a handful of sprinkler blowouts, even when there were 10 within 2-3 minutes of each other.
The weather is supposed to be even worse today, so decided to take a day from sprinkler blowouts to see if it improves enough to work on Saturday. We were going to do sprinkler blowouts in the Boise 83709 today, so will postpone that until Saturday at this point.
I will spend some time today emailing invoices that haven't been done yet, and auditing accounts to see who has and has not paid for their sprinkler blowout.
Our stats have been updated if you are interested in see what we have left and where, and what we have accomplished thus far. We are no longer taking requests for sprinkler blowouts, so the list should start shrinking faster. To view our stats click here: http://www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com/blog/?p=1181
