We\u2019ve worked diligently and nearly have them all covered. Once we\u2019ve completed those, we\u2019ll immediately begin work on the <strong>next batch of tests with June 1 deadlines<\/strong> \u2014 so if you&#8217;re in that group, you&#8217;re already on our radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <strong>sprinkler startups<\/strong> are also in full swing, and we\u2019re keeping up with the demand. With the warmer weather finally showing up, we\u2019ll be <strong>scheduling system repairs starting next week<\/strong>, so if you\u2019ve got a leaky zone or a finicky timer, help is on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve also been staying busy with <strong>lawn aerations<\/strong>. While we\u2019ve completed quite a few, we\u2019re temporarily <strong>pausing new aeration appointments until the second week of May<\/strong> so we can catch up on our other commitments. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First and foremost, we&#8217;re making excellent progress wrapping up our <strong>backflow testing for customers with May 1 due dates<\/strong>. We\u2019ve worked diligently and nearly have them all covered. Once we\u2019ve completed those, we\u2019ll immediately begin work on the <strong>next batch of tests with June 1 deadlines<\/strong> \u2014 so if you&#8217;re in that group, you&#8217;re already on our radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other exciting news, Kelly is back! If you&#8217;ve been with us a while, you might remember Kelly, our US Marine friend and former team member. He\u2019s returned to the crew, and we\u2019re thrilled to have him back. Apparently, he missed us\u2014or maybe just the donuts. Either way, it\u2019s great to see his boots back on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This season has already brought <strong>several sprinkler main and drain repairs<\/strong>, and we\u2019ve completed several. If you\u2019ve noticed signs of underground leaks or water where there shouldn\u2019t be any, we\u2019re ready to take care of it quickly and professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a more personal note, the last couple of weeks have been <strong>incredibly difficult for our family<\/strong>. We\u2019ve experienced two significant losses \u2014 one being the mother of my ex-wife and grandmother to my son, Jacob. Yes, we still maintain close ties with that part of our extended family. The second loss was Sheila\u2019s father, who passed away peacefully on the Saturday evening before Easter at the age of 88\u00bd, in his favorite chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been an emotionally challenging time because we are a family-owned and operated business. As such, the<strong> Maintenance Shop office will be closed on Friday, May 2<\/strong>, to honor Sheila\u2019s father at his funeral. Brian and Kelly may still be working in the field that day, but our office will be unavailable, and Jesse will also be off to be with family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Thank you all for your continued support, kindness, and patience as we navigate a full season of work and life that has reminded us just how precious time and family are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the grass turns green and sprinklers start firing up across the valley, we wanted to take a few moments to update everyone on what\u2019s happening at The Maintenance Shop\u2014both in the field and behind the scenes.
