We already had a busy week scheduled this week and have had a few emergencies call in today to add to it.

We have a C.dif job that called in for tomorrow and a (new to us sorority) called in with 10-rooms for Friday. We also started a new fire today where the home is on the market, so we will be pressed for time to get it cleaned and out of there also.

This week is turning mean and its only Monday. :eekk: Oh well we can rest in the winter!
:winky:

Good for you. That was us last week. Being a guy down it was hard on John. We are ok with things being a bit lighter this week.

We're slammed too! Following best July ever. What really cracks me up is we just got the Val-Pac and there were four carpet cleaners offering deals/coupons. If you're not busy now just do us all a favor and give-up! Congrats Larry and Doc and Meg.

Yea I think we've only got 15-cases of water left and with this heat I'll probably need to get another pallet next week. :icon_rolleyes:
Buying ice has been a chore keeping up with the crews. Every summer we talk about an ice machine but so far its just on the wish list.

We watched restaurant auctions and found a large but older ice machine for $200. Lasted us 7 years. At least in some areas, it seems there are often restaurants going out of business and selling equipment.

$200 is that when you could get a model T for $300 Scott. Those things don't go that cheap any more because I have been looking $1000 to $1500 would be a steal.

Karen told me we have 3 CC slots for the week left and we started a water loss today. Lost our lead night tech also. I had to move one of my day guys to nights so I am down a residential truck for 4-8 weeks. OUCH!

I've looked at a few I've a little hesitant not knowing whats what with them. Like Tom mentioned most were $800.00 to $1,200.00. I'd like a smaller under the counter style. One we could put in our small break room.

So you down and dirty talk some members dreams and then come on here to brag about how rich you are getting to all of us not so fortunate souls?

Does this make you feel good inside?

I lie a lot so this whole thread may or may not be true. In fact I may or may not be real myself. Another one of Mike's fictitious characters a fig newton of your imagination. You do still have one don't you? :p

Who did I "down dirty talk"? :lol:

You gone did Becker dirty calling his new home a pile of dung and to see if he was going to set it on fire?

Oh that, hell I didn't mean it the way you are making out!

It looks like shit, yes I still think it does but Becker has mad skills at remodeling, I've seen his work.

I look at it and would have never thought about buying it. It's like the ugly girl with a killer body. No matter how great the body you still have to look at the face. The house is in a great location, school, lake but it was in poooor shape. A bear ate the siding, the foundation has settled and he said the roof wouldn't make the winter. Basically a mother in-law home. :p

I know he can/will fix it up and it will look great, but I lack those skills. I look at all those things I have to pay someone to do and don't see the diamond.

Hey but thanks for telling me I was an ass........fooker! :biggrin:

Fig Newtons are NOT Veggie appropriate so the dream you're living is real...............maybe?

Covered up here as well. 7am starts this week.

Keep a cooler full of ice and drinks in the van. Backpack with fresh change of clothes, extra tees and shirts.

Eat on the go and work smart. Don't "hurry", that will bite you.

Like start the coffee at 7?
Long, Long Day today. Girls on the cleaning crew are still going. Maniacs.
