Mr Happy!
I cannot even list all of the jobs that have come in. We went from enough to keep me really busy to totally insane!
Governor still waffling opening up the State.
Most people have had enough. They have been inside with cabin fever too long with typical winters and now ready to get on with life and not die in their living rooms in their underwear (client quote)
Son in law a trooper and sees big picture. He is giving up extra government money. Time to work for our keep.
Young guy OK so far with coming back to work. If not, we have some others looking for work vs a free meal ticket!
I'm ready!

Just bid on 17,886 feet of campus rooms. It would take me four days to clean with all said. I am hoping one of the part time elves will need some work.

I’ve got 5-5 gallon buckets for fresh, and 3 dirty water buckets. I’ve also got a home made trolley that can easily carry 300 lbs....
Booked 4 jobs today. Holy cow things are spiking! I'm no longer turning people away. I just tell them to not be around me while i'm working. Time to get the country up and running again.

5 jobs this week and already 5 for next week. I think a lot of folks don't realize I can work legally so if Gov. Pinhead opens the state up May 8th hopefully I'll be running at full capacity. We are one of the lower impact states but some governors want to see how long they can drag out the misery.
The reason for the shutdown was to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed. I had to take my wife to the emergency room last week for an allergic reaction and the place was deserted. Time to reopen!

Team work. With a 2 man crew you should mow that down in 6 ro 8 hours. Switch off on wanding and waterboying. The pump on your machine needs to be retrofitted. I saw one today that my repair guy had. Diaphragm pumps have their place and it's only a 1.6 amp draw but you might be able to put in a higher pressure pump. I've switched to Cat 1xp instead of pumptec because they're easier to get and service up here. Also, downsize your jets if you want to keep up the pressure. With a 3 flow you're likely to get 150 psi when keyed.

Takes a special person to keep a boat that long.
My dad had a vintage Chris Craft that wasn't moored under cover, and all I remember of summers as a kid is working on that boat. The smell of varnish and the marina shore at low tide still reminds me - no wood boats!

It was so tempting to hit the party button.

At least you got your monsoon. I'm still waiting. Why not run a hose from the janitor closet if its only 200 ft. to fill? 4 50 footers of hose will fill faster than you can work. Then the bucket brigade is just for dumping.

Make sure your hose is rated for hot water. Ask me how I know.
Cleaning with Luke warm water is a pain. By the time you get through 200 feet of hose you'd be lucky to have 70 degrees. Maybe run the waste pump out that way but not to fill your fresh tank.

Good 3/8" air-hose tolerates hot tap water well and will flow plenty. The smaller diameter means less water is "standing in the pipeline" and the cooling effect is minimized.
Easier to wrap up and transport as well. Several times on huge projects we skipped the autofill and machine pump entirely, thus going tap to tool directly.

I had 3 calls yesterday and booked 2 for next week.
I had 3 of the COVID symptoms yesterday.
Just got tested- will know the results in about 3 days.
I feel fine now.
