Sorry folks, no route maps today.\u00a0 Ran out of time.\u00a0 There’s is a LOT that goes into the daily activity of sprinkler blowouts, and it doesn’t end when the blowouts are done for the day.\u00a0 It is quite common to be up until 3:00 a.m. every day preparing for the next day that starts at 7:30 a.m.\u00a0 Only 3 days in this season and already I’m remembering the Danny Glover line in Lethal Weapon: “I’m too old for this……” Well, you know.<\/p>\n
Today Jesse and Justin are going to team up and work the Boise 83702 and 83703 zip codes. \u00a0 There are currently 42 sprinkler blowouts on our list for the 83702 and 83703, but hoping with two people working together they can get most of them in one day.\u00a0 Any stragglers will be picked up the following day.<\/p>\n
I will be working again in the Boise 83716.\u00a0 I Only made my way through about half of the 83716 yesterday.\u00a0 Systems on city water can take a lot longer at times because there is water in the main tubes and it makes it hard to find the shut-off valves, or the blowout port on the system is corroded and can’t be opened in which case we have to go through a test cock on the backflow preventers, which limits the amount of air flow into the system and we can only blow out one zone at a time.\u00a0 With a bigger blowout port we can often times blow out 5-8 zones or more at once with our large machines, which saves a lot of time .<\/p>\n
We are still trying to cover as many city systems with backflow preventers as we can first, but of course if there is pressurized irrigation on the route we’ll take care of that as well.\u00a0 Still plenty of time to get systems blown out.\u00a0 We are averaging 37-40 completed per day.<\/p>\n
