I have a question for guys in the Northeast. As we all know it rained like h3ll last week. Saturday was the first clear day with no real rain. I got a scant few cut on thurs and fri but went for broke on sat and sun. I started cutting at 7AM on sat knowing there would be complaints.
The first customer is getting sued in 2 wks so screw-em. The second customer complained moderately but was easily schmoozed. The fourth house is a good customer and I thought by 8:30 I would have no more complaints. WRONG. My strategy was mow,blow,and go so as to get as many jobs done as possible before dark. Sunday I started at 9AM, mowed all day, nobody complained
Finally the question. Would you have mowed on the weekend or started on Monday cutting on 12 days for the same price or pushing them all off to 2 wks and charging double.
