We have a busy day today then off for 4-days until Wednesday.

Next week is a short week but we have over 30,000 sq/ft of commercial carpet scheduled already so it will be short and busy.

Really?

Price, all over the place as low as .09 if we are doing big numbers but this work is .15sq/ft.

We had 7,000 sq/ft last Saturday, 4,000sq/ft this morning and then next week the 30K. It comes and goes but it's getting more regular.

I have a full day of commercial to do tomorrow and I have two of my Always Clean residential accounts to do on Wednesday. The the wife and I are heading down to Gulf Shores for the rest of the week through the 2nd. She has to get her gulf fix. If it were up to me, and the work was there, I would be cleaning straight through the holidays.

Cuz February is coming ...

Being a J-Witt, I use Christmas day to get caught up on huge commercial buildings im usually limited to doing only LATE at night or weekends.
I can come early in the morning and knock out 20K sqft by 7 or 8pm, work that would normally take up every night for two weeks of just nibbling at the work during the small windows we have when no one is in our way (Call centers)

I love working on holidays, because NO ONE is on the roads, and we can get huge jobs done, and enjoy sleeping in when the holidays are over.

Couple jobs tomorrow, but will always be on call for water extraction. Holidays = Premium Charges. Plus,
I'd feel badly for some poor slump with a sump pump failure Christmas Eve.

I'll clean more carpet personally in the next 2 weeks than the entire year. Some of our guys are taking off so myself and the few guys left are doing double duty. My family are all reptiles (not my Iguana) so we've never really payed respect to holidays, birthdays, or family time. It's a great time to get caught up on things.
