POST UPDATE:
Our compressor on Route 3 is down. Took a crap right in the middle of a blowout. I will get Route 3 on the schedule again for tomorrow. (Wednesday) I will send out another text reminder tonight.
I am personally on Route 1, but haven’t made it out yet with trying to get the other machine running, but will be out soon. Any homes not finished today will be taken care of tomorrow.
Route 2 is in operation now that we have the truck registered and ready to go. Since it was a little late getting out, any not finished today will be taken care of tomorrow. Jesse is quite skilled, and will move as fast as possible.
This will put us down to 2 machines, but it is a far cry better than the one machine we ran last year. We should still be able to get around 40 or so sprinkler blowouts completed per day with our two bigger machines providing we don’t run into sprinkler system issues.
ORIGINAL POST:
We had a pretty decent day yesterday considering we were down one machine due to the holiday and not being able to register a vehicle to get it on the road. Route 2 yesterday suffered the most, but we are going to finish what we started yesterday. We did get all of Route 1 and all but one in Route 3 completed, and some of Route 2. We couldn’t get to the shut-off on Great Basin today because there was a tennis ball or something in the tube. A few years ago we couldn’t get to the valve at another location because there was a dead squirrel in the tube……
As soon as we get the truck registered in the morning we will have three rigs on the road. We are going to stay in the Meridian 83646 for one more day and then move on to some other zip codes, but don’t worry if you were missed this time around in the 83646. We will be back soon. Because of the large number of blowouts we get in the Meridian 83646, we will have one rig floating back and forth there regularly. The Meridian 83646 makes up about 25% of all our sprinkler blowouts each year.
Here are the routes for today. You can click on the images for a larger view. If you are paying by check, please have them ready, or if you are leaving payment, let us know where so we can find it. Best way to notify us is through a text. Make sure gates and valve boxes are accessible.
Route 1
Route 2
Route 3
