Finally got my helper!

[Kellie Hiler]

Stepbrother has moved in today and we cleaned two restaurants in a country club today. It went great!
He definitely wants to work with me full term. Time to order new work shirts!
We Zippered the first restaurant since it had really thick carpet, and then he wanded this one just to get the feel for both tools. Tomorrow he gets to Zipper a really dirty restaurant!

There is absolutely nothing better for your back then a good helper! Congrats! Helpers take a BIG load off the daily toll on your body..

 

[Kellie Hiler]

He is a hard worker and very detail oriented. Woohoo!

 

[Able 1]

Side note: I hate how his back is bent while pushing the wand.. Looking at the picture if they moved the assist handle 4 to 6" up the tube his back might be straight..

 

[Desk Jockey]

That's great! Gives you a break when you want it.

 

[Nate The Great]

Fook it and Zipper it.... The wand is for the birds... My PCTI collects dust in the van... I did need a wand for the van though....

 

[Kellie Hiler]

He was scrubbing a spot ......I showed him the proper form and he is getting it down. He's pretty tall....like 6' 2.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Break?! He's my slave now! Lol!

Saiger understates the value of the spinner zipper. It cut a longstanding 5 hr job down to 3hr 15m. A cleaning pass forward, dry stroke back, and move over!

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Oh...you don't have to tell me! It's my go to tool! Although I don't have the spinner.... I was using this as a training session since there was no hurry and just letting him get the feel for the tools.

 

[Pioneer Floorcare]

Everybody that does more than a couple restaurants a month needs to get a spinner zipper

 

[Kellie Hiler]

I'm glad you got one and love it! That's awesome!!

 

[BIG WOOD]

I wish I had a stepbrother All I've got is a wore out father in law who's a know it all

 

[Desk Jockey]

Break?! He's my slave now! Lol!

 

[Desk Jockey]

[Kellie Hiler]

Lol! I'm kidding!

 

[steve_64]

i hope it works out as planned Kellie.

ive got Genny now but not all the time. we have a hard time finding dependable people. had one of Gennys sons friend not show up last night so Genny had to help then work this morning. She just found someone who is working out but i keep thinking it wont last because none of them have no matter how much they say they like it.

Look what you've done now.

You got Grasshopper all excited.
They'll have to line up a mini water damage (like a tea cup spill) just for him, so that he can lawfully leave the office.

It will take him months now to wind down.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Thank you Steve...I do know how hard it is to find good helpers, sorry you are experiencing it. I'm hoping this works out too. He is really in a situation where this is perfect for him as well so I think it's a win win. Time will tell of course.

Ofer...haha!! That cracked me up!!

 

[mirf]

Good for you. But I agree with the handle needs to be higher.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Yeah...he's pretty tall, so I will look into it.

And interrupt nap time? Pffffttt.He'd need to get out of his pajamas......

 

[Desk Jockey]

Ofer...haha!! That cracked me up!!

I went to lunch with Lockhart today, I need a nap. I was already stuffed and then the owner gave us ice cream.

 

[ruff]

Trump must be losing it. They let Lockhart go across state line?

Did you marry Marty's daughter?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Awesome Meg!

 

[ruff]

Did you marry Marty's daughter?

Sh....Don't disturb him.
He's in the kitchen cooking dinner now.

 

[KevinL]

He's a lefty too. handle needs to be moved up and switch sides.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Wow...I hadn't even noticed that! Good catch! I will make sure to adjust what I need to for him.
So far it's going great! He is extremely intelligent and has caught on very quick. He is also very mechanical which means that once he learns the carpet cleaning and customer relations I will feel much more confident sending him out on his own. I've got him reading the IICRC class books already and as soon as the class comes around he is going to take it.
I told him tonight I was mad at him...he looked kinda freaked out. I told him I was mad that he did not come work for me sooner lol! He agreed!
He feels really good about everything, especially just being here to help us out. He sees what I've been dealing with alone and he was pretty shocked lol...

 

[Kellie Hiler]

So, he is left handed although also ambidextrous.
Today was a Rotovac day and he did amazing. This is truly a Godsend, I don't have to tell him how to do much, he uses his brain quite well!
