Update:\u00a0 Oops.\u00a0 Had 40 customers tell me this morning that my post didn’t go out.<\/p>\n
Yesterday we had several properties with system issues, which put us behind schedule.\u00a0 And then there is Daylight Savings Time.\u00a0 Every year I post how I hate Daylight Savings Time.\u00a0 We lose an hour that we need for blowouts, and with two machines that can be 5-6 blowouts PER DAY that would normally get done.\u00a0 We can’t start an hour earlier, because most people don’t like us showing up before 8 a.m.<\/p>\n
We have a lot of new customers this year as well that know mostly nothing about sprinkler systems, so while we are there we try to educate them as quickly as we can, which takes a little more time out of our day, but they need to know the basics.<\/p>\n
We currently have around 128 blowouts in the 83646, which we will get most if not all completed before we move on.\u00a0 We get new ones in this zip every day, but the ones who have waited the longest are getting priority unless a new one just happens to be on the same street close by.\u00a0 There are times we do blowouts in an area where one person has waited two weeks for our arrival while another only waited two days that is across the street.\u00a0 One of our really longtime customers was surprised to see us show up 10 minutes after he put in his form because we just happened to be driving by his house when it came in and I thought it would be funny to catch him off guard, which it did.\u00a0 Even after all these years when he has waited 2-3 weeks, he has remained a customer because he knows we will get to him.<\/p>\n
Today Jesse will be working in the area he was yesterday to get it finished up, while I will be continuing my route westward between Ustick and Fairview.\u00a0 I need to finish up some between Locust Grove and Meridian Road, and then start on the area between Meridian Road and Linder.\u00a0 (Still between Ustick and Fairview\/Cherry Lane.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, as a heads up, I will be working in the area within the border of McMillan and Ustick, and Locust Grove and Meridian Road, while Jesse will be between Meridian Road and Linder.<\/p>\n
I will get back to texting customers once we get the list down some for the area.\u00a0 By the time I get it all figured out for the next day it is too late to do texting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
