We’re not hitting a wall or anything, but I’m readjusting how we operate. I plan on switching to TCF, so I can fully utilize, my ResponsiBid, SendJim, and soon CrewCal. I plan on getting more sub contractors to eliminate myself from the field by the fall rush season. Right now I’m only going to be scheduling myself 4 days a week now, and my wife only 2 days. Those are just some of the things I have plan during the “slowdown”. Thanks to @Jersey and Joshua Latimer over @Send_Jim for making videos this week helping us to use this as a valuable time to recess business plans.

Thanks @wcs… It will my 4th visit to the Philippines…an amazing country with amazing people!..I have always thought that a window cleaning business in the Philippines would be very successful!..I was considering teaching my Fiance’s brother how to do it…The Philippine people are resilient and hard working in a country with limited opportunities…It could be a way for him to live a great life!..anyway…enough of my rambling haha!..I can’t wait for 2018!..I have a LOT of plans!

Ouch!

Dang. Our hot sunny days are temporarily on vacation, afternoon thunderstorms are filling in.

I have fully embraced the slowest month of our busy season. We are taking a few days off this week for our anniversary and then taking a week off at the end of August (right before Labor Day). That is Always our slowest week from March-December.

August is a month that we typically will spend two weeks of it at the cabin, State Fair and a few other day trips just prior to the kids getting back to school.

Sad sign that summer is winding down

It’s amazing how much difference approx 60 days will do to temps… (I’m REALLY not surprised, but)…
