For those who know Jesse, he is back working with us since July 5.\u00a0 We are glad to have him back.\u00a0 We call him our “prodigal son” for those who know their scriptures……<\/p>\n
I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that sprinkler blowouts will be starting 2-3 weeks earlier this season than last year since most areas with pressurized irrigation are going to be shut down early due to lack of an adequate water supply.<\/p>\n
As our long-time customers know, we generally start around the 5th of October on city and well systems since they have backflow preventers with many of them above ground, and we want to get a start on those in case we get an early freeze.\u00a0 Pressurized irrigation systems can usually go into the first week of December or later since the majority of the piping is underground.<\/p>\n
We are also hiring, and need 2-3 people interested in doing sprinkler blowouts this season.\u00a0 Pay is $20 per hour, and the applicant must have a reliable vehicle that can pull an air compressor, a smartphone to take payments and follow a route.\u00a0 It will be 40 hours a week with the possibility of overtime Monday through Friday, and can work on Saturdays if they want for the extra money.\u00a0 Most of the time technicians do not drive more than 10-15 miles per day on their actual route once they get to their first destination.\u00a0 I say that only\u00a0 because if their route for the day starts in Caldwell and they live in Boise, there will be some travel time involved to get to the first job.\u00a0 Anyone interested should send me a text at (208) 713-3170.\u00a0 Even for a fall temporary job it would be some really good Christmas money.<\/p>\n
Our sprinkler blowout form is live and ready to go.\u00a0 We added a place on the form where those on pressurized irrigation can put the date the water to their neighborhood will be shut off.\u00a0 This will make it easier for us to schedule to have this information at the beginning.\u00a0 If you don’t know the shut-off date to your area that is fine.\u00a0 We do so many blowouts that someone in your area will know when they sign up and we can add that information later.\u00a0 When you know the date, just send us a text or email and we can add it to your information.<\/p>\n
I guess we shall see how many people actually follow our blog by seeing how many sign-ups we get from this post.\u00a0 I will be sending out a min-newsletter within a week or so.\u00a0 It won’t be our full newsletter because we will have very little time between now and when we would like blowouts to begin.\u00a0 It will be interesting to do sprinkler blowouts when it may still be 80 degrees or more………<\/p>\n
