When it's slow "It's SLOW" - Plumbing Zone

UnclogNH · 05-14-2009, 10:00 AM

Holy cow I'm on day 6 with no calls WTF.

A perfect example of why I told my buddy to stay with his employer and not go on his own. Not a good time to open shop when people are not calling. This is my longest stretch yet with nothing.

So glad I have no loans on my equipment save and pay cash no debt only way to survive up here.

Oh well we all have a bad month now and then.

Where are you buddy, up there in god's country? I'll bet it's slow up there cause it's pretty damn dead around here too. Good thing we have a pile of city contracts and maintainance work to do or we'd be laying off.

You should head south, I'll meet you in Laconia for a beer some afternoon.

I'm up in Berlin, NH.
Came up here homes were cheap love the mountains and lack of competion.
I would meet for a beer some time love chatting with fellow tradesmen. I will let you know if I'm ever in the area down there sometimes I get call's of the internet for commercial drains down that way.

We were slow for a couple months after Christmas, but things are really starting to pick up now. We just had a provincial election and alot of projects seemed to be waiting for the outcome before any decision were made.

So now we wait for the boom to happen again!

UnclogNH · 05-15-2009, 10:36 AM

Thank goodness day 6 did not happen had call last night 7pm.
Grease trap clog. YUCK but it's money and got an every 6 month service maintenance out of it.

Now Friday am back to nothing I hate being bored.

I had a nothing day, too, but with the calls I did have this week I made enough to get by. This was after nothing for most of the week.

I picked back up from a 3 weeks of baseline income that paid bills but now it's getting better. My dog looks like he's going to have me spending money as he's puked 3 piles of his food and he's running out of puke.
