This is my wife’s birthday today.\u00a0 In the olden days back before we had employees I was doing 800+ sprinkler blowouts by myself and during that time since I was gone all day and in the office half the night working on scheduling, invoicing, etc., my wife was neglected for about 7-8 weeks.\u00a0 I made a change several years back to take her birthday off and spend the day with her. I will have to work in the office most of today, but at least I am near by to spend some quality time with her. And then there is that Tucanos dinner tonight…<\/p>\n
If you noticed, I haven’t mentioned my nephew Challis in the last few days.\u00a0 He contracted food poisoning, or that is what we suspect, so he missed the last two days.\u00a0 He will be training with Jesse again today, and hopefully, we can get him out on his own for Thursday. We surely need to get as many rigs out as possible.<\/p>\n
We have a new guy that was supposed to start today and train with Kelly, but he is a no-show.\u00a0 Sure is a lot of that going around.\u00a0 I really don’t understand the people that have no respect to at least call in and say they aren’t going to take the job. I have been working since I was 12 years old, and after serving my country in the military I was back to working again.\u00a0 I can’t recall when I was not working.\u00a0 At the age of 12, I painted my first house.\u00a0 It was a small, two-bedroom single-level house of about 1000 square feet, and I painted the entire outside with a brush…<\/p>\n
We are continuing our onslaught of the 83709 today as well as the 83704. We will be adding Meridian to the mix in the next few days. Be sure to check out our stats page to see how we are doing. According to our stats, we are 66% contained overall and should be able to finish in the next 14 business days if all goes well. We will have a price increase for new requests on November 10 as we always do each year, so that might slow down the new requests somewhat.\u00a0 Usually, by then there aren’t very many companies left doing blowouts. We raise the price for two reasons. One, it slows down on requests, and another is that as we get closer to finishing the stops become farther apart so they take longer to get to which costs us more money to keep techs and fuel supplied.<\/p>\n
