Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

I got fired from a crappy bi-weekly mowing account for being late for the second time in 15 years! Their son-in-law is going to mow it. We'll see how long that lasts. But they still want me to do their snow removal, lol.

Wait till they want ya back, then tell them you CAN'T fit them into your schedule, because you MIGHT be late ... and you sure as hell do NOT want to upset such nice understanding folks !! AND it MIGHT give their son in law a complex, which in turn, could make him suicidal, or even turn him into a mass murderer !! .. :cool:

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

It's the classic case. I used to mow weekly for the parents and then the daughter took over and put me on bi-weekly expecting the same price and level of service. And the son-in-law fertilizes the hell out of it so at 2 weeks it looks like crap and they think I didn't mow it on schedule and start calling at 10 days, lol. But this time I did let it go to 3 weeks because of all the rain we've had and my weekly accounts paying me 5 times as much take priority. How it's always going to be. I tell people that they waive the right to complain if they are bi-weekly...I don't want to hear it!

The only bi-weekly I do is a field that I charge 1.5 time the regular rate. They do not get to complain because they know I will drop them in a heartbeat if they do. I HATE bi-weekly.
