Have more jobs lined up for our last off week.  Here it is Tuesday and we finally got last weeks lawns done.  Annnnd the rains pop back up in the forecasts. Yay!!  All but one is for existing clients.  The two smallest jobs I have are asking what day it will be .  All the others are happy/content/understanding with the “weather permitting” line along with our plans (the next day, duh) if we can’t due to weather.  And no, I don’t ask for half down.  So it’s not like they’re worried me running off with a partial payment.  It’s always the small jobs or [BLEEP] lawns that are difficult.  One lady as I got off the phone, I heard her say to someone “I should have called earlier “.  There are still 4 jobs in front of you!!! Look out the freaking window, your oak tree is wearing floaties and is trying to swim away!

I’m going to add to this.  The weather forecast this morning made it sound like we’d have 3-4 hours at best to work today.  Knowing I have guys that drive 45 min or mor to come in I called it at 5:30 this morning.  Needless to say it was a gorgeous day today.  And yes, the cheapest job sent me a text asking if I was coming by.
