What crazy sh*t did you do to stay busy this winter?

[Mikey P]

Or any winter for that matter..

Strip and wax a basketball court or a Saltillo floor?

Take on more urine damage than your spring and summer conscience normally allows?

Try and fix some browned out linen?

Run your truckmount for less rhan .10 a foor?

Or your Cimex for less than .3?


Run your spinner over floors than should not be spun?

Sub work from the debil?



Fess up!

This winter was good to me, but I took on s job last summer to clean 10straight hours worth of church pews at .70/LF.

it kept me busy, but also made me take the next day off to rest my hand.

The pastor told me that a local competitor gave him that price, and asked me if I’d match it. Something told me that he was telling me a little white lie.

Dont let him push you around. Put his hard earned donated money to good use...

I never understood that.... Why not just have the "local competitor" do it?

If he likes you better and your service then he must value it more too....which by default should mean more expensive.

I always tell the wife I'm going to go deliver Pizzas for a few months in the winter but thankfully it never slows down that much. After the first week in January it has been busy busy. A record first quarter, but our winters aren't too bad. We have a lot of mornings where the temp. is below freezing but nothing too serious. If we get snow it's gone pretty quick.

Lucky for us, December was nuts and pretty much continued through most of February. Didn't have an over abundance of work, but jobs were much bigger money makers.

"Things" got a little stressful come late Feb-March - then comes tax time.

So generally, this year we didn't do much except run our normal internet ads at a much lower frequency/spending limit.

Now? NOW after all these years you are worried about being rude. It just might be too late to worry.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I did this a lot during flu season in my schools

 

[Nomad74]

As if I don't have enough things to do around here, but I'm thinking about building a remote control lawnmower. Maybe after I get my boat engine build finished.

Sorry for the derail, just thinking of fun projects for when the slow season hits. Otherwise I get myself in trouble.

 

[Mikey P]

Its Sunday and I see all the tradesmen out working today..

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Thank you for that explanation, that is so kind of you! But my yes was my answer to Mikey’s questions:.)
By the way, on the 3rd Wednesday of the month I don’t even have to go to the mailbox

[Matthew Sturgis]

This winter has been real busy. Like twice the revenue as previous years.
I am the carpet cleaner for a local restoration company. And their service area is huge and their crew has to move everything in a flooded basement. So my underweight ass has been moving furniture that I would normally talk my way out of and driving way further out than I normally would. But they keep writing me checks so I keep doing it.

Aside from the pompous ass remark i made recently i really can't recall being rude to anyone here....
'Cides if its true its not being rude...

Azzhole!!!

 

[Dolly Llama]

[Mike Draper]

I dont do much stressing in the winter these days. Its always going to be slow. So i go snowmobiling on Saturday’s. Skiing on the sabbath with the kids . And snowmobiling any day of the week we get a foot or more of snow in the mountains. If we get 3+ feet I cancel jobs and snowmobile. The $ machine always starts May 1st for us, ends about Christmas.

 

[Hack Attack]

I dont always worry about being busy in summer let alone winter just roll with it

theres always something to do whether its wanted or not profitable or not

Use the motors off of power wheelchairs. One of my buds here made an awesome lawnmower with that setup
