I think that's pretty common. I thought about X amount of dollars for say 10 plows. Anything after would be X per time. And give them the option of going per time for the season. But in the long run staying under contract would still be a better deal....... I have a "few" months to think about it.

I would probably not change the terms for existing customers.

If you've been there before I won't go into describing the community but the lakes and the big lake are beautiful in the summer. Long nights when the sun don't go down until 11pm and fish on the grill.
I may also head a bit further north to Nemeiben Lake.

I really don't have a choice, my schedule is full. I'm not taking any new customers unless I lose some existing customers. Which "may" happen if I change my system. But, they wont find it any cheaper if they look around. I lose customers periodically anyway. People move, go south for the winter and don't want to keep their drives clear(a lot still do) and some pass away. That happened multiple times unfortunately.....

I need to go finish plowing......:facepalm:

Yeesh, I'm just sitting around watching it melt like crazy around here. Got enough gone that I'll be picking up the new boat today, the other one will have to wait until next weekend since I don't feel like clearing the driveway out there ;)

Even though our snows melting like crazy I cant get my boat out for at least a month due to the 4 foot berm of snow in front of it where I plowed a trail to the chicken coop all winter, then the hill side will be a greasy grassy mud fest till it dries up.

Re: April Showers Brings May Flowers...what does April snow bring?

In NW NJ, our above ground pool was piled high with snow all winter. Now that snow and ice have gone, water level keeps going down - had new liner a few year ago - called pool place, and they said in last few weeks they've gotten over 200 calls with same problem - seems winter was so cold the water froze deeper and cut many liners....
Damn pool is damn near as big a money pit as a boat! :D

Melting good around here too. That sun is strong. Still amazing how much snow is still in the yard. Mainly plowed the end of cabin drives where the town left a berm. Nobody is up so the sun can take care of the rest. Phone hasn't rung so I "guess" I can take the plow off until the next one.....

Congrats on the new boat! I may go to where mine is stored and pull the prop so I can verify the size and order a purty stainless.... Maybe that will help the winter blues.......

The snow to rain conversion is 10:1 .... so spring may be ten times the date of first spring time...:eek:

Hired a guy who came with a wet suit - found 2 holes and patched them - $150 - better than a new liner....:joyous:
