Holy Mackerel....that was a day! :)

Hit the ground running again at 7 am....

First Job of the day was for former "Miracle on Ice" hockey star from our town Bill Baker. Took care of her carpets while she was away visiting her family. Lot's of good memorabilia around her modest home...one of 3 homes on the lake property....



While at the first job...Started getting calls from people "saw your vans coming through town....and"

Well, one of the "and's" was a church that just picked up all their chairs, and a lot of spots, spills....

Just wanted the spots removed....I called the Pastor and asked where he would like me to maybe stop :dejection:

Shot them a good guy church discount knowing the Zipper could make great time....and so could the "Boy Wonder" son in law of mine! :rockon:

2.5 hours doing 3250 sq feet (already prevaced by church so settle down everyone) and set of stairs! I was out doing a minimum job of $150 (but did book another $250 with them next week....while he was out making what would have been $1500 at full price!

Continued down the list of jobs that took us up until 5:30 pm tonight for me (4:30 for the Boy Wonder) and the phone is still ringing tonight for us to "get them in tomorrow" :eekk:

"Jeepers!" it's a good crazy SPRING already and everyone needs it NOW!

2 Vans are definitely better than 1 for us right now!

And the wife texted me that the dogs got into the remaining chocolate from the home show....GEEZ...vet says don't give them anything....just wait for it to come out one or both ends :hopeless:

Some pics of the craziness and memorabilia....and some of the DIRTY carpets we encountered as well as the moderately soiled!

great tip on the h20 line..

Does Aaron get on here?

I am not sure if he has registered here yet....but I tell him to get on here and at least take a look around.

I am sure as he get's more confidence he might do some posting if he is here.

The kid is really shy....but dang....what a gem we picked up!

He is always thinking outside the box....

Nice work as usual! Our pooch snuck one of those huge Hershey bars out of the shopping bag a few years ago and ate the whole thing. Never skipped a beat - a little more energetic than usual... :eekk:

Exciting day for sure Mark.

I thought I was done at 430 on a Friday. Adjuster calls, flood job, just got home, renting the Dri-Eaz LGR'S and Velos through Monday.

Love it when they leave me for a weekend dry party! Cheers!
