What Do You Guys Think?

The title of your thread was "what do you guys think".

I think you suck. Get the work, string the HO's along. Obviously, referals is not your main source of getting work !! You go dude...........

I wonder if
Neo would notice
if we all started to
post in
newspaper
column format.
BTW, yes
you are toast.

Or Haiku's

I don't remember
if it is five seven five
or something other

The first line has five
The next has seven,no more
and finally five

Thanks for the info
I didn't want to sound dumb
breaking Neos stones.

Lets make granny wait
small jobs bring in the fast buck
soon he wont have work

if she's a granny
sixty, forty or thirty
she deserves better

shouldn't you do the biggest job first??? If I was going to lose a job cause I'm to busy it sure isn't going to be my biggest contract... Give me grandma's phone number and I'll do the job for you...

Don't get me wrong I haven't always got a A+ on all my jobs. But I have never had a HO call me up and talk to me like that because they didn't know where I was or when I would be back. Keep the HO informed and if they don't like it YOU need to come up another plan. It's just good business.

From me, of course

In post #3:
The OP didn't dispute my ASSUMPTION the lady was a granny...I even offered a second chance at dispute in #6:

...and again, it was ignored.

So now we can be reasonably sure the OP chimney sweeped the tackle bag. .

Ohhh, that is so gross, I have the worst picture in my head now.

Then I take it you agree....The UD is quite possibly man kinds finest accomplishment.

I am not sure how fine that was!! All this talk about Granny reminds me of that Adam Sandler CD where he was talking about where granny's 'hedge' started.

Try scheduling a little bit better. At least you can work year round with indoor work. Landscaping is a 5 to 7 month a year deal up here and I have to make enough to last through winter. I learned the hard way to schedule my time for max productivity.

I can give you a few pointers.

Firstly write everything down. Make lists of everything you need to do on a job, what equipment you need, where to get material, etc. Get it on paper and refer back to it.

Secondly start thinking more efficiently. If I have to go to a nursery in Lewiston or Clarkston for supplies for 1 job I pick up material that I need for other jobs on my schedule. I come back with a loaded truck and stage the material at my house. It's more efficient to make 1 trip than 2 or 3. Those hours add up.

Third is reserve your equipment as far in advance as possible. This is the busy season at the rental yard. I don't count on anything being there unless I have a reservation.

Fourth, have a plan for weather delays. This is especially critical towards the end of the landscape season. Sometimes it's best to work through inclement weather in the early season so I don't get backed as winter approaches.

Hope this helps.

No snow plow operation?

It's a service.
If you lose your train of
thought, while following
my posts.....
Ask your doctor if
riddlin is right for you.

So I got this all straightened out this morning, I called her and apologized for the delay, as it was scheduling problem on my part, she said that's fine, you aren't mad about the voice mail are you, I replied, well I was a little steamed, but have no reason to be since it is my fault, she said well, I was just givin ya s**t just making sure you haven't forgotten about me, the guys for the roof are wanting to start and I wanted to make sure it is ok with you, I said that's fine, so they are going to do the roof, I can finish other projects, then hers in a couple more days, all is well. Thanks to everyone for the straight shootin, I needed a boot in my azz

Good for you, owning up.
Nice to see you have the
