Worst Week In Business In A Long Time | I Seriously Can't Believe This!
[Music] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] guys so you know how it is throughout the season things just kind of become a mess some bags we had put down here had ripped open so I'm kind of going through that as you saw I did the uh Lazy Man's way of sweeping the floor just blew it out with the backpack real quick uh the main things I was searching for were my lights gotta get lights back on the trucks and then uh I'm gonna get the trailer unloaded for lawn care possibly for the last time for the 2022 season and uh yeah this is kind of what I'm doing I'm kind of this has always been my junk drawer so I'm just kind of throwing stuff down in there then these locks I'm not sure if TQ wants to hold on to them because we did order brand spanking new locks that's what's in those brown boxes there for the storage units uh so I don't know if she wants to hold on to those we still have keys for them so I'm not going to Chuck them just yet uh Gathering up gloves as well which there's a ton in here this is just a mess gotta get some more of these ordered I did like having the uh the hats I might look to see if they got something a little bit thicker but yeah just that's a new lock I think this tub actually got dumped that's what's all over the floor here but uh receipts gotta have those receipts just a ton of stuff so yeah that's what I'm doing just working through it here I really I like to have everything in order I know it doesn't look like it but I do like to have things in place so when I need them I can just grab them very quickly but uh yeah also the season kind of takes hold yeah that's what I'm doing here trying to be productive on this day where I don't have TQ currently by myself just me and uh what they call them Wilson Castaway anyways TQ her back is killing her and uh she needs the day off just to uh recover using that vac hose guys that thing will put a whooping on your body in places that you don't uh use all the time so yesterday was really the first time I let her get on it and simply was I needed a little bit of a break from it but uh still did the majority of it you know I don't want her swinging that thing too much you know it's nothing's no joke guys like if you've never ran one please don't underestimate if you're looking to get into that how much work it's going to be I would highly suggest you uh to try one out before you went and bought one with that being said they do have smaller ones that are a little bit lighter obviously you're going to be a little bit slower uh we chose to be as fast and efficient as possible if it's a curbside I want to be 10 minutes and under and we can pick up as many as we can get to uh throughout the day the original plan was to have a team of guys you know and gals to help out with that so that we could run through you know with three or four people we could run through 15 of those a day 10 15 whatever uh the biggest part of that is just planning them all out and getting to them before the competition gets to them uh because the new cool thing I guess this year was to start scalping people's piles uh customers will call set up a date you know and this isn't all customers you know or all the time but it's becoming a bit more frequent so customer will call you hey my leads are at the curb use you guys in the past blah blah blah they're ready okay we're gonna be in your area on Wednesday it's Monday all right thank you well you get there Wednesday laser gun call the customer hey uh we're at your location I just want to make sure you don't have them in a spot that we don't see oh such and such stopped by on Monday afternoon and said they would do them for x amount of dollars and I just thought hey go for it they're there get them cleaned up and don't call you and let you know so it's an unfortunate part of the business but uh I have seen uh my buddy Dan I just seen he put up a post as well because it got so cold so quickly a lot of the city municipalities and townships that have the trucks that go out and do them for their communities are canceling early so they're not even doing all their cleanups so we're gonna keep the VAC together as long as we possibly can and as long as they don't freeze to the ground or we get a large amount of snow we're going to continue doing cleanups because you know why not stay busy and productive we're currently still not through all of our customers just yet but it would just be dumb of me to go out here by myself uh today and try to do curbside pickups uh constantly having to jump back in and out of the truck go back suck up you know 12 feet move it forward yada yada oh right guys so I wanted to stop here by this customers real quick if you guys remember we did that small little I won't say retaining wall just a architectural wall and uh she had the fence put in so I wanted to kind of share you with you guys with that this fence isn't exactly how I thought they would have put it in but it doesn't look bad so if you guys remember we came in we put that wall in that fence was should have been out a bit further but it looks like they kicked it back so I'm so yeah figured I was here let's show you guys it real quick it's not exactly how I would have done the fence but I did suggest to her to uh put a form of protection on the wood but from the way I understand that she is going to sell the house now so I don't know if she's going to worry about it or just let the new owners do it good morning everyone how are you doing on this freezing cold Ohio day so here at the storage facility this is not our storage facility but believe it or not the folks that own this storage facility actually sold us our storage facility and I'm hoping that someday whenever they're ready to retire and whatever they will sell me this location as well with that being said they reached out to us and asked us if we were interested in taking over their snow removal I said absolutely we have quite a few right here in the area and uh I just told her I've never seen it in person I have driven by it but uh we would come over and take a look at it so that's currently what I'm doing uh it is a gravel unit so probably the excuse me guys burping the majority of it here will be pushed to the back I may even just windrow most of it towards this ditch I'm not sure if you can pick that up or not but there's actually a ditch here windrowed away and uh it looked like maybe this corner would just be a little unique because there's units on both sides so Back Drag here Back Drag here and then pull it away I'm gonna see if I can go behind this one to get to the other side real quick so no I can't so just all pretty much grass back here looks like a maybe a freak or something back there I probably could walk all the way around but hey I'm not gonna walk through all the muddy area and I don't want anybody to be like hey what's that guy doing so I'm gonna fast forward all this I'll come back to you when I get around the front all right so this is the other side of the building pretty much exactly the same as the other one it's almost like a big T so it comes straight in and then off the back side there kind of a unique way they did this place honestly a lot like our place so I believe the lady that owns this one her father built our location and this location so definitely different and they definitely do them a lot different today so pretty much the same exact thing we'll just you can see right there where my truck is we'll uh windrow it from the building out into a ditch area that's here and then the back side I mean there's just a board here so really nothing around the back side so easy enough won't be any salt on this one uh just simply snow plowing looks like brand new roof they put on this location though because I noticed there's no gutters yet so I don't know anyways I'll bring you back in one second just gonna drive this one because there's no point really getting out and walking to the other side simply it's like three parking lots so there's one on the on the other side one where I'm currently at and then another one across the street here so the sidewalks they didn't mention so I'm gonna email about that I didn't even notice them when I looked on the element software as well uh but simply the majority of this one I'm going to do on the software so I'll come in I'll measure out all the parking lot the old school way you know we used to get out with a wheel measuring wheel and we'd do length times width and get your square footage it's just a lot easier to get my square footage for salt and a really good easy way for you guys to figure out how much salt you're going to lose so we've been using it now for what four or five years I've showed you guys that have been around a long time excuse me uh how we do that on the software so here's the other little parking lot which this one doesn't seem bad the biggest part is I don't know where they're going to want me to put the snow so it's kind of a an issue so what you normally will do is you don't want to put it up against the building you uh I want to have it away from the building just simply these are all parking spots so this is an option but there's a door here and then I guess you could put it back over here on the corner but that's going to fill up very very quickly if we get a good sized snowstorm I gotta mention to them about the walkways because they didn't mention anything in the request [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] guys as soon as I get this mess cleaned up I'm going to show you something kind of cool at least I think it's kind of cool foreign okay let's see some more if you go back in the house all these gloves and hats and stuff you need carried in a washed at least thank you you want to say hi to everybody real quick oh there's my winter gloves hi everyone kind of dark I was telling him your back was hurting this morning yeah a little a little off but I'm a little better yeah yeah getting it uh getting a little bit better looks good feeling good job it's not warm out here but if you stay moving you uh you can kind of stay warm it's it's still snowing a little bit yep Miley's excited about that yeah I'm not so much yeah well are you wanting um a burger yeah here you want to film for me real quick I just wanted to show them this I don't got a whole lot of room so I told you I had something kind of cool to show you Noah picked this up for me down at the equip Expo so this thing is called the chain Locker Pro Series so basically you can hold all your chainsaw blades which I have a ton more they're just in the trucks so I got to get them but basically it can fit the way I understand it about any chainsaw blade right on the right side here are you know so let's go and one side so like that foreign is at uh let me get that one out you can kind of pretty much put like all of your shark blades on one side and your doll blades on another one I don't remember exactly how you use this thing it's been a little bit so foreign there we go so just a nice convenient way to carry all your chainsaw blades where they're not all over the place where you're looking all over for them because we all have different sizes I mean from a little uh a little chainsaw TQ likes to use all the way up to my 500i but great big thank you to know for that that's going to be really cool and then you can just uh hang it up foreign so got a little bit more here I'm going to do I got a bunch of signs down there I got to get Consolidated I think this shelf I'm gonna end up turning eventually over by that door so that I have access to it from both sides [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] but I forgot I had to put the mowers away so that's what it looks like with those two in there I got to get the other two off real quick and uh we'll still have a little pathway we'll just put boom boom two more mowers and yeah good productive day so went ahead and changed that around I'll see how I like it if anything I can change it back but I wanted to show you these new signs that we got from uz marketing link will be down in the description super affordable guys double-sided look at that I have horrible lighting actually I have zero Lighting in here other than what's come with that door but uh yeah looks absolutely awesome if you guys need signs they work phenomenal as you guys know we've been using these for years here's a leaf removal sign kind of getting low on those to be honest with you and then we have the snow removal signs band that signs have been around a extremely long time and have worked out really really well for us make sure you have a good website as well make sure you're active on Google for your SEO but uh I'm about to wrap this one up I'm running out of battery for one for two I'm froze so hope you enjoyed the video as always keep mowing keep growing keep making money boys we'll talk to you later take you out peace
