Down in south Florida my washing season starts in September and goes through April. I cater to the migraters who vacation all year. I couldnt imagine paying to have multiple homes cleaned every year. Unless theyre income properties, which these definitely are not for them
I might wash 3 days a month that time of year. I have a lawn maintenance business also and that provides consistent revenues as well as trimming, irrigation, fertilization and landscaping opportunities. Theres nothing wrong with enjoying the pool, beach, golf course and everglades trips of course
Ive been planning my marketing strategies and counting down the days until i can quit my boat job. Have debated getting into the plowing business but dont want to over extend myself. Box truck and upgrade equipment next year and get everything paid off before thinking about that.
I once had a secretary for awhile whose family owned a large apple orchard in upstate NY that was right on the shore of Lake Ontario. The darn snow would be up to the eves of the barn and it was huge. They cut these tunnels, trenches or whatever in the snow so they could walk to it and get in the doors. 12 foot high sides on the trenches. It was nuts. From the top of the snow you could walk directly onto the top of the barn. Not for me.
Hey, you wanna wear womens clothes, I am ok with that, it’s your thing. To each his own. I have worn polypropelene for years as a base, then layers overtop. It works and I don’t have to shop in the women’s section. When it gets cold, the last layer I put on is my insulated coveralls. No wind entry, no loss of heat, but you sweat like heck when shoveling. A balaclava is always a good thing.
Since I build fires in the winter, I like cotton/wool material on the exterior as it doesn’t melt.
I used to put up snow fencing for the snowdrift, now I make drift cuts with my tractor. Learned it from western NY people. Lake effect snow is crazy, you go 2-5 mile in any other direction and there might not be any snow at all.
