How Much Time Do You Waste?


Are your jobs scheduled one after another and you keep on on plugging away, or do you enjoy partial days or several days in a row to just do nothing except for the most menial and mundane tasks?

Pretty much "Are your jobs scheduled one after another and you keep on on plugging away", but I have several going at once and it gets complicated.

Re: How Much Time Do You Waste?


One right after the other as the weather allows when we got 'em. Often times we will have 2 or 3 going at once if we got 'em. That's the beauty of having sub crews on stand by, when you have work they work for you and when you don't they work for someone else and my customers never wait too long to get their job done so I don't lose sales for scheduling reasons.

Tinner how do you have several going at once if you are a one man operation?

Re: How Much Time Do You Waste?


Many repeat customers that either have me working on 4-5 properties at once, or calling when money for Phase(?) is available. And I fit them in best I can. Some wait 6 months or more.
I have 3 jobs that come and go, and have been that way for 6-8 years. One is historic and going on 10 years.

One cutomer has many properties and pulls me off in the middle to handle other clients emergencies. Might not get back for months.
I have equipment scattered all over the state.
