Had one of the craziest days ever at a job yesterday…
So I got to the job for a normal vinyl/drive way cleaning, pretty straightforward, I was there for about an hour doing my thing and then my garden hose burst, i had a backup but then that burst also. I ran to Ace Hardware, bought a new 50 ft flexzilla hose (mind you im just starting out so my budget is low, and my setup is bare minimum). Anyway I get that hose setup and get back to work…
The neighbor had a cactus out in there yard close to my clients house, I was backing up thinking I had all the room in the world and boom I fell straight back into the cactus.
Definitely painful, but more importantly just uncomfortable for the rest of the job, I also damaged the cactus and felt horrible!
Anyway I take a bunch of cactus needles of out of me and get back to work…
The clients wife gets home and then lets her dog out in the backyard, i had been on the roof as I was cleaning the gutters and got down, as I was walking back one of the clients dogs bit me. Or really nipped at me, but it still left a mark🙄.
Anyway, after that i just pressed on, got the house looking real good, the client got back and was super happy with the home and ended up giving me $60+ in a tip and said he’d give me a bunch of referrals.
Also side note: the neighbor whose cactus I broke… called me over to ask to give her a quote on her home! She didn’t care about the cactus and actually just laughed that I had fell on it in the first place.
Anyway I landed the job with her,
All in a days work folks.
