Way to go Terry.
Me and Bjorn were just talking about Magnolia and how we avoid it like the plague, cuz of all the steps.
Funny how that coastline is steep from all the way from San Diego to Anchorage.

That's a lot of jobs for an 'old guy', ? I heard your heavy breathing, and I'm the same way now. lol

I'm done after 2-3 jobs these days.

But it really depends on how much work, or how big the jobs are?

I use to do 6-8 vacant apartments a day, but now prefer to make as much or more doing 1-2 residential jobs a day, without all the extra driving/fuel cost and setup/breakdown time. wink

But when it's slow, you (I) do what you have to, including a buncha little jobs in a day.

5 jobs working solo is quite an accomplishment. I know that after the 3rd house or 4th apartment, I am spent.

Celebrate the achievement and get some rest!

gotta love busy season. and ya magnolia is a nightmare in seattle, sometimes 40-50 steps just up to the front door

did a sod install about 8yrs ago and had to charge the lady 1700 for a small 12x12 patch of grass because we had to haul garbage cans of soil/ sod up 50 stairs to the front then another 40 stairs to the backyard.

of course it was magnolia
