I contacted my giant community center that is always a big hassle to geton the schedule due to all their different activities and wacky hours and I usually have to break the job in the five or six visits they jumped all over the chance to get me in there during normal daylight hours or no one will be in my way

 

[SamIam]

Good day 3 stops for phil $750 I did 2 for $250

zero booked. Lots of cancellations . Governor just shut down restaurants except take out and drive thru. Salons gyms daycare,adult daycare, shut down. My son and wife were at a hair salon getting his hair cut when a lady rushed in the door to get a haircut before the restrictions start. The two girls who own the salon ( and just took out a loan to buy the building ) were both there. They found out from the customer that their business would have to close tomorrow. I called some our oldest customers who own restaurants. You can hear the fear and frustration in their voice. Extremely difficult time.

Still too early in the season to know but it is getting busier. I've had a couple cancellations but more reschedules. If I don't clean carpets, I work on my renovation house. Makes no difference.

Its difficult to believe that there have only been 380 people TESTED. I'm assuming that they only test those that are seriously ill. If this continues for months, so many self employed people I know will be bankrupt. I'll gladly sacrifice my business and possessions if it is necessary to prevent someone from losing their life. If that happens so be it. But only time will tell if it was necessary or effective.

I'm booked solid. Everything I have is vacant houses, so i'm glad about that.

 

[hogjowl]

Still rocking along like normal

I had a strip and wax in a group home - cancelled. 2 apartment building halls and stairs - cancelled. An empty rental house - cancelled. Pool deck tile and grout - cancelled.

I do have a school to refinish the floors on, but I've got no phone calls in the last 5 days. Not an ideal situation.

My phone has gone quiet now except for rugs.

Demand is like a rubber band, it usually stretches back.

However this is like nothing in our lifetime. People blowing it off will soon come down to a stark reality .

This will be economically catastrophic, even if it passes in a month or so.

It won't.

Today I booked my first call of the week. Lots of cancellations with we will call back when the kids aren't here. I was the only one in a restaurant tonight that is always busy 24/7. The owner is a wreak, I told her see you tomorrow and she hugged me. This reminds me of 9/11. You can see the fear in people's eyes. It's going to be ok, probably pretty much over in 4-6 weeks. We forget that over 37,000 people are killed in auto accidents every year in this country. Worldwide over 1,250,000 die in auto accidents. I really can't believe the reaction to this crisis. Totally overblown. Lord help us if we ever have a really horrible incident.

Agree... Even at early stage in this game..... The damage is already done...this is a big one... and because nobody's really experienced anything like this before everybody does not know which way to turn or what's going on... and what's even more scary is that this is just the beginning this is not even started yet.... The economy is going to take such a hit that's going to take years for us to recover and many.....many small businesses are going to go belly-up....

 

[Jim Martin]

I have 4 small ones to start the day... No reason to even start up a second truck....

Still early to see if anything gets canceled or how many jobs get booked...

Welp, the Methodists have just fallen prey to the fear. I’m not cleaning their sanctuary on the 3rd.

Did you explain your Listerine decon process?

There's a madness to their method.

Doing it the Canadian way

 

[ronbeatty]

10,000 sq ft university student center today

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

I just finished looking @ the city owned theatre. 1150 seats, T&G, polished concrete, bunch of carpet, and 8 lobby couches... the guy said ‘if I like your bid, we clean it all every spring, and I’ve got a bunch of other buildings for you to look at’...

I liked the pretty colors on the squirt bottles.

 

[Willy P]

Booked 3 today but they're all smallies. I'm not liking my monthlies shutting down. I'm not sitting on a mound of cash and I just hate dipping in elsewhere. I can stretch a few months but after that it's into the savings. Hopefully this will have blown over by then.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Some big projects scheduled thru mid April, but just in case I won't spend the money yet.

 

[hogjowl]

I did a residential job this morning so Brady could go do a church job. The lady was a retired RN who told me to be sure and follow the guidelines of washing and social distancing. Told me it was very important. Then she spent the next two hours following me around talking. Every time I took a step back, she’d take one forward.

She gave me a $30 tip though.

That was so you would go away.
