While working in Columbia Village on Thursday I had just finished up a sprinkler blowout on Snapdragon and was driving to my next stop when I saw two guys who were also blowing out sprinklers having difficulty with the property they were on. I stopped to help and found that all they needed was a special fitting to do the sprinkler blowout on this rental property. I carry over 30 different fittings on my truck to cover any sprinkler blowout scenario I could possibly come across, so I loaned them the fitting they needed and visited with them while they did the blowout. It turns out that they are doing sprinkler blowouts for a few small management companies.
Some may ask why I helped a competitor, but really an explanation shouldn't be necessary. We should all lend a helping hand when we can regardless of the circumstance. It's good karma. 🙂 Someday when you might be in need of assistance, someone might be there at your time of need.
I finished my current list of the Boise 83716 area code on Thursday, in spite of the little "break" I took in helping the other sprinkler blowout technicians. Friday I will be doing your sprinkler blowout if you live in the Boise 83706 zip code and have . I have several to do, but am determined to do them all no matter how long it takes. That being said, make sure you leave me full access to your yard, and hopefully your sprinkler timer. My knees and back will thank you. 🙂
