Mr Happy!
Well, yesterday was a killer day!
4 residential jobs up until 2:30 pm, then busted into a big school commercial job at the Administration offices with lots of carpet.
The Superintendent of Schools wanted the administration bathroom tile and grout done....then show the custodians how to get it done....oh boy.
The school was over 8000 sq ft of carpet, the bathrooms were walls and floors. Who would have know that the grout lines were tan in color.
14 hours of non stop ($4000 for the day!) about 12,000 sq ft of carpet total for the day.
So, I got talked into a small commercial job for this morning....of course note left adding work....then 4 more just need you today (Saturday and we don't work Saturday's)
...and had couch cushions dropped off in the shop with urine....and finally told my wife....next person who calls and requests today....$5000 per Living room! So she asks....How much for a chair? Serious? Yep...chair needed doing....said no way! Done for the day!!!
So we squeezed the chair in for Monday Sept 8th in the afternoon. My next opening is Sept 15th and every job is HUGE!!! (well except the chair)
Let the Holiday weekend begin!!!! (damn...I have to do those cushions yet
)
By the way....We did all yesterday work with 2 vans and 2 of us!
Now, time to start packing for Vegas Baby!!!!
