We finished all our current list of sprinkler blowouts in the Nampa 83651 zip code yesterday. We will no doubt have to visit there again before the season is over.
Today we will be doing sprinkler blowouts in the Meridian 83646 zip code in the area between Meridian Road and Locust Grove, and McMillan and Ustick. This area was on our radar a week ago when our #2 compressor decided to go on strike, so I am going to work that area today. Our other compressor is now functioning, and hope to have it back on the road in Meridian on Tuesday after more than $400.00 in repairs. The Poor thing has done over 10,000 sprinkler blowouts for us without any issues on the compression side in all these years until last week. We have changed the alternator, starter, fuel pump, voltage regulator, etc., but the actual compressor side hadn't needed any repairs for several years.
If you look at our 2016 sprinkler blowouts stats table, you will see there are a LOT of sprinkler blowouts in both sides of Meridian, followed by the Boise 83709 and 83713. That being the case, we are going to alternate back and forth between them every other day. The Boise 83712 zip code is the only area now that hasn't been visited on the first round, so we will work that one in on Saturday. None of this may make sense to some of you now, but I will try to have a new schedule showing tomorrow to make it more clear.
Meridian, especially the 83646, is very easy to do because there are so many sprinkler blowouts within a very small area, that we can usually knock out several in a day.
On another note, I am fighting a cold, so am sure it is slowing me down a little, but I have never let that stop me before.
