I will need to get in and out in a hurry, so please prepare the best you can for my arrival.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tI plan to be in Meridian over the weekend again, and then heading to Canyon county after that.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBased on our current list of remaining blowouts, we should be totally finished with all blowouts in about 17 days.&nbsp; It could easily be less depending on the number of cancellations we get compared to new requests.&nbsp; We had one cancellation yesterday, but 11 new requests.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnd, the usual stuff&#8230;&#8230;..\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMake sure gates are accessible, valve boxes are cleaned off and easy to find, timer is accessible if valve location is unknown, and any checks made out to &quot;The Maintenance Shop.&quot;&nbsp; As I have been saying for the last week or so, we are still unable to process credit cards while on the road.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnd finally&#8230;&#8230;..\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDon&#39;t forget that all new sprinkler blowout requests on November 10 and later are $40 for up to 6 zones, and $5 per additional zones.&nbsp; The good news is next year, if you respond to my email fast enough, your sprinkler blowout will be $10 less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I managed to get to every home on my list in the Boise 83704 on Wednesday except for one I couldn&#39;t find, and three I was unable to do.
