We haven’t been posting much in the last little while because most of the work we have been doing is either start-ups for a property management company or major repairs that we couldn’t put off so we dealt with the customers directly.
We are down to our last 52 sprinkler start-ups, with only 16 of them being our regular customers (not property management). We have a few major repairs to do this coming week, but I hope we can finish up the majority of the remaining start-ups this week so we can start aeration sometime next week. We are losing a day because of the holiday, but still hopeful we can pull it off.
Here is our plan for the week. It doesn’t always work out as planned, but we are going to give it a shot:
Tuesday, June 1: Backflow tests in Meridian (morning), start-ups in 83702, 87703, 83704, 83705, and pump installation 83704. The pump is an exact duplicate of one that was there before, so probably shouldn’t take too long to do. (Hopefully)
Wednesday, June 2: Backflow tests in Meridian (morning), start-ups in Meridian 83646. I will be having one of the ablations done on my spine on Wednesday which usually takes about 30 minutes or so to do, but Jacob will have to take me there and pick me up because of sedation. It is in Meridian which is why I am putting Jacob in Meridian for Wednesday. I may or may not be able to help him in the afternoon after my appointment. Depends on how long it takes the sedation to wear off. It usually only takes about an hour.
Thursday: Backflow tests in Meridian (morning), RP installation in Boise 83713, start-ups in Meridian 83646 and 83642, pipe and wiring repair in Boise 83709, and pipe repair in Eagle.
Friday: Backflow tests in Meridian (morning), start-ups in Nampa, Star, and any start-ups we were not able to get to on their designated day.
I am sending out an email today to all our remaining customers regarding sprinkler start-ups to weed out any cancelations from those no longer needing service, so the above routing could change, so check back on this post and refresh your browser periodically to show any changes. Any start-ups we are not able to get to during the week will be integrated in next week when we hope to start lawn aerations.
Hope all is well. Thanks for the update! I know you have not made your schedule up for lawn aerations yet, but if I could possibly get on the schedule before 18 June it would be much appreciated…have some other lawn plans scheduled that are pending the aeration. Thanks! Dave
We hope to be ready to work in lawn aerations by the end of the week. We have a LOT of repairs to do, but will be working them in with the lawn aerations being the priority at that time. We are almost finished with our start-ups. I REALLY appreciate your patience and the patience of everyone else who has stuck with us this season.
