Sprinkler Blowouts for Wednesday, October 16, 2019

Here it is nearly 3 a.m. and I am still working to put routes together for three machines.  This is the way it will be until the first week of December when I finally get tired of taking new requests for a sprinkler blowout.  If I don’t stop it at some point we will get requests clear into January……

I had outpatient “surgery” on my spine with 8 shots to deaden the nerves above the area that was done before.  Next will be my neck in about a month or less.  Word of advice:  I don’t recommend being a part of the military where parachuting is a regular activity.  It REALLY screws up your back……

After the shots, I toughed it out and helped with some blowouts in Eagle so that we could get all of the ones that had come in by the night before were completed.  We didn’t quite make it, but it was because some of the areas still had two much pressure behind the valve in the filter box or no way to turn off the system deep in the ground that we use in that instance.  We also picked up some new ones for Eagle which we will work in on our next trip.  Two of them were repeat customers that could have been done yesterday if they had signed up when we sent out our customer email back in September.

Today Jesse will be working in a portion of the 83706, Jacob will be working in a section of the 83642, and I will be working an area in the 83646.  With my usual 4 hours of sleep I am not sure what kind of shape I will be in, but I will have to work through it anyway. None of us will obviously finish the entire zip codes we are working in just one day.  Nearly half of the 83706 will be completed today, while we will need several days to make a dent in Meridian.  Even with all the days we have set up for Meridian, we won’t be able to finish them all on this round, but should be able to on our return trip.

Below are images as to where we will be today.  It takes quite a lot of work to organize these routes which is why I rarely sleep.  Even longer time to get them fit for posting for all to see.  What I REALLY  need is someone I could trust to do the blowouts to my standard of quality and then I would stay in the office all day answering texts and emails of questions that have already been answered on our site or in our terms of service.  I actually thought about putting together a Frequently Asked Questions page, but each answer would start out with, “As explained on our site or in our terms of service you agreed to when you signed up………”  Really not much point in that. 🙂

It is now 3:30 a.m.  Time to sleep and be up in 3 hours to take out last-minute cancellations from the routes that took 4 hours to put together……… ZZZZZZZ………….
