Balls out

[Mikey P]

How many of you are swamped?


I need to hire summer help, this is ridiculous how many last minute shoppers were turning away


I sure wish Jr would realize what a wonderful opportunity he is missing on on here in the prestigious career of picking turd balls out of peoples pos Costco rugs can be.












and you thought this was going to be a EZ joke..

Slooooow this week! After a month of balls out, guys complaining of too much work. No one wanting to work the late and Saturday work.

We are slow while I hate being slow, a few days sure help getting this place back in order.

When we are busy this place gets trashed!

All summer, thank God!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

We are all busy here. Sons Jeremy Jason and Justin on a big MSU project and dad piddling residential. Phones ringing like crazy.

 

[bob vawter]

busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest!! August has been good. Usually slows down around the Sturgis Rally, but this year was busier. Leaving for Atlanta next Tuesday for a couple of classes. Hopefully will pick back up when I get back!!

I'm trying to get a second truck on the road but can't get the time to go buy it.

 

[gary mackay]

Rockin roller status ever since I got the TNT, the calls start before I even wake up!

 

[Mikey P]

I be busting the Lunchpail out tomorrow for 6 jobs while the V gets a Tranny service.

 

[steve frasier]

we have been doing fine lately, better then usual for August but down a little for the whole year so far

 

[Kevin. McCreary]

I'm busy as crap here also, however the job tickets have been $40-$50 lower than my normal $250ish average.
Tons of smaller jobs, and people coming out of the woodwork I haven't seen in 5 or 6 years. Hence dirtier carpets.

we are dead slow..it is always a bad time of the year for us..we will start getting reallyh slammed in a week or so, this is the week before school starts.
we will be busy till mid july then it will slow down again.

Booked out hard for 2 weeks (5-7 jobs), and jobs out over 5 weeks, but I am still making room for all the last minute shoppers. Been running 2 rigs on somedays with the daughters doing the work with second Butler. All the jobs are pretty big in nature also. It's actually nice when they call and just need a Living Room and Hall done.

Got a ton of rugs that need cleaning in the shop for tomorrow (Saturday). Plain exhausted. Been like this all year.

was going to ask on side note - at what sqft number do you discount your rate? lately i have been charging .35 for under 5000 sqft and .30 for over 5000 sqft.

I hired several High School Kids this summer; No offense Jeff; But they don't make Marine Recruits like they use to; he cried and quite after 2 weeks I tried to work him to death and only paid him $300 a week to do apartment carpet. My Son in Law however has made daddy proud!!

 

[Desk Jockey]

If you made me clean with the Recoil I'd cry too!

At least he made it two weeks, I'd have quit after a day of lugging it around.

Dude, that's cruel and unusual punishment, buy those guys a TM and they will stay longer! :wink:
