Just got a call fro a guy wanting me to wash 250+ 55 gallon drums a month that had cooking oil in it. He said i could just stick my wand down in the hole and swish it around with hot water and he will suck out the water with his sludge pump😂 i politely declined.

If they are all at once that’s easy money! Charge $3 bucks a pop! Probably a half days work.

@Grizz lol I so would have done it for $3 a barrel and made a killing…lol… I probably would have hated myself every time he called me to do another batch but I bet you could do all of them in about 2 hours…maybe 3

And you don’t have to worry about killing anybody’s bushes, falling off a roof, staining Hardiplank, electrical fires…

Someone else can correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly certain they make a spinner or a jetter that’d do that job in about 20 seconds a barrel.

My first chemical company had a thing they stuck in a barrel that washed in 360 degrees.

Dont know the name of the trees.
Wasn’t so much getting the green off of them, but she wanted the fungus washed off. And afterwards she said she was going to put a fungicide on them.

I wonder what he was planning on doing with the oily water?! That sounds like a mess waiting to happen. I am guessing the Water Dept wouldn’t want in the sewer system! :astonished:

Heck that fence needed more attention than trees lol

We were originally there to do their fence, but the other side facing the street.
I personally hate wood work. Ill do fence cleaning as long as its not previously sealed. But i will not touch a wood deck.

I hate wood work too but its good money. Ive made $1700 in one day doing it. I have deck to do Tuesday that im dreading already lol and another one to do the day after mothers day.

Prison pod after a riot. It wasn’t bad since we had design input on this very scenario, but it is still an unpleasant task.

That was also when I received my most disturbing text, asking what the threshold was in sq ft for brain matter splatter. If it was small enough the janitorial contractor had to do it, if it was above then we had to. I gave that tech the rest of the week off with pay.

That contract was why I left facilities management, left me feeling a little empty from all the experiences lol.

Last week I did about 100 headstones. Not too weird of a job, but the circumstances surrounding it were. I got a call from a man from a cemetery foundation and we talked for a bit and I named my price of $1200. He didn’t hesitate and said he’d write and mail me a check right then and there, which I ended up receiving in the mail a full week before the job. Now I’ve never been paid up front so it was odd to me.

Come to find out he passed just a few days later and was buried in the same cemetery I would be cleaning. I wonder if he knew it was coming.
