Yep sounds good about now but not once it gets hot down there.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Oh hell no, I'd cancel.

If it looks like shit and smells like shit...it's shit (using a porty). I'd wait for your encap juice.

Welp, the good news is i had to cancel the portable job .

Both guys are stuck in traffic....

 

[Johnny]

You can blow some of that cool air my way. High seventies today, felt like high eighties in the sun.

Hey, I've paid my cold-weather dues.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Wind chill is -30 in Ann Arbor, Michigan now. 7pm eastern

No significant problems in town right now, but roads are very clogged due to last night's foot snowfall.

 

[Desk Jockey]

A foot? We got 2-4 depending where you live. At home only two the shop got buried with 4 and drifts.

At least the warm starts tomorrow. : )

 

[Mark Saiger]

-24 below right now at 9:45 pm and still heading into the deep freeze (AGAIN)

Just got in from another frozen busted pipe call.....and I am out of Restoration don't you know.....

Been a long ugly day and tomorrow ain't looking much better.

Even had the fuel oil freeze up again to the shop. Good thing for back up heat system, and I switched fuel oil providers!!!

[harryhides]

Umm, if the shoe fits - I was using the term as per definition 2.


sod (sɒd) n1. a person considered to be obnoxious

2. a jocular word for a person: the poor sod hasn't been out for weeks.

3. sod all nothing

4. sod it a strong exclamation of annoyance


Too bad about Auburn but it was a really good game nonetheless.

 

[Ron Werner]

only 2 here. I'll have to manage.
Some guy posted a pic on FB of his open front door and there is wall of snow !! I think he was from Labrador

 

[Mikey P]

I still have my sparklers on...lol

 

[Dolly Llama]

I still have my sparklers on...lol

forth of July fun never ends, eh?



wonder how Shane D is doing?
those unfamiliar with lake effect snow....all the cold wind coming off the lake can pile snow high...Measured in FEET..not inches

..L.T.A.

We have an attached 2 car garage that is insulated. I have an electric heater in there but just barely keeping up. It is reading 40 degrees in there so I should be okay. Little relief tomorrow. I need a better setup, this is nerve racking. Thankful my fam is safe and warm and out of this crazy wind. I hope Waldo got his box inside somewhere...


The Clean Machine

Russ idk if this helps ease your mind some, but from my "testing", my sol pump and cleaning sol's don't freeze in my van until the outdoor temps go below 28 Fahrenheit. my testing consists of leaving my MultiSprayer in the van in my driveway all night...no heater lol. but i have done this for years and it has been fine. once it hits 27 outside, i have found slush in the MS's lines. so at 40 you are plenty warm.

Tonight is going to be a mess, unfortunately we ran out of encap over the weekend.

Might have to bust out the portable .

it may not have helped yesterday but for future reference Shane, there is a janitorial supply shop in Henrietta that sells Releasit. in a pinch it would be faster to drive there and pick some up than wait a day on shipping.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yep rockin & rolling.....its what we do best.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Total trainwreck, turned into one of the worst storms we ever had.
2-3 feet of snow, 50 mph winds and 0.

The wind/cold was so bad this morning when i walked to the store my eyeballs froze open .

Completely shut down right now for the first time ever. The worst part is i don't have any beer....

 

[dealtimeman]

Dang, not even one call yet for us. We are ready but not really doing anything and it is already backup to 46, so I guess no jobs for us.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I had one cancel, it was a duplex with both sides wet, would have been 3K, too much for them.

Then 4-more just called in , that's another 7-today.

14- in the last day & half.

One of them thanks to you Michael!

Its just crazy here, I'm down to 2400's and into the store room for airmovers.

To those that have called me I'll have to call you back tomorrow!

 

[GCCLee]

I think I just lost a water call. Told em 250 to show and the phone went dead, what gives wit that?

 

[Desk Jockey]

It happens, can't serve every market.

Some people don't value the service, fortunately there are plenty out there at do.

 

[Steve Toburen]

Yep rockin & rolling.....its what we do best.

Happy for you, Richard. Better take good care of your techs when this is all over! (And their long suffering spouses!)

Steve

PS Richard, I was thinking of companies like yours when I sent out today's QuickTIP on Making More Money with the current crop of water losses.

 

[Desk Jockey]

We called it quits for tonight, well as soon as they finish the ones they are at. One of the jobs we still need to finish is for the State of Kansas in an office building and we have 10-techs there.

Big D is running some food over to the big job and I'm sending some cash for dinner with the last 3-techs going out. They hopefully will all finish up before midnight.

We will hit it hard again tomorrow (if there are still some left). We have 5-on a list for tomorrow but we will see if they are still there in the AM. Most don't wait but others usually do pop up.

Tomorrow is going to come fast for those boys.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I bought orange juice and cookies for breakfast and open up the shop and see 2-water trucks missing. They got an business call in at 1:30 AM with 4,000sq/ft wet. They are almost done it's 8:00AM.

Those guys are going to be toast today. We will have to send them home for some sleep.

Another wild day already and it just started.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Total disaster....

Still can't make it out my driveway .

 

[Mikey P]

It hasn't rained here since October.

This should be a record January for carpet cleaning

 

[Shane Deubell]

The funniest part was i found a shipment from Jondon in a 3 ft snow drift!

UPS guy must have put it on the side and wind blew it or something.

 

[Desk Jockey]

My son is a Fedex driver, he said he delivered a package to the doorstep and their dog carrier it off as he walked away.

 

[dealtimeman]

You should post that pic of the ice on the side of the building you sent me
