Busy Week!

 Last week was pretty busy. It might have been the busiest week I have had in a long time. Two weeks ago my ecclesiastical leader, or bishop, asked me if I could move his belongings out of a temporary storage warehouse in Hurricane, Utah. He had me help him move his entire 10,000sf furniture warehouse back in December, and as part of that I moved several truck loads of personal belongings to a temporary place to keep it out of the way of his company's furniture stockpile. 

He hesitated for 3 months to clear out the temporary place of which he was paying $2,500 a month. Last week he decided he had had enough and asked me to Clear it out. So Monday I started and finished it on Wedesday. It took me a total of 14 hours and cost him $456. He was worried he would have to pay an extra $2,500 for May but I got it done in less than 2-8hour days. After I was finished he regretted spending the extra $7,500 for no reason really and was super happy with me. 


Tuesdays I use as a day to work “on my business” and not “in my business.” So Tuesday I attended the Washington County Board of Realtor’s (http://wcbr.org) where I get a lot of my business. I did have a job where I picked up a truck load of furniture from a rental. The people had left some junk behind and I cleaned it up for the owners. Every Tuesday at 3:30 I attend Business Networking International or BNI (https://www.bni.com) but this week I sent a substitute and went to my daughter’s dance recital at her school. The sub I sent was Sean Stanley with Real Water.(www.realwaterutah.com). I use his services. The water is alkaline water which helps your body balance to the proper PH level. I love his water and feel tons more energy by drinking it. Wednesday I finished up my bishop’s warehouse. 


On Thursday I did a demolition job for my brother-in-law. I helped him and his grandpa tear out some pillars in his home. Thursday Afternoon I went to Zion’s massage and got another ashiatsu massage which was amazing. Afterwards I checked my phone and found a message with a last minute request for moving help. I did not have a guy available to help last minute but told the guy I was coming. I drove out near the Family Dollar Distribution Center to a $700,000 house where I helped new residents move in. My wife’s grandpa showed up to help with a few heavy things to show thanks for helping him that morning with the demo job. 





Friday I had two moving help jobs. One was unloading Shawna’s Uhaul truck, and the other was delivering, loading, and then delivering back to Uhaul two Uboxes which were to be shipped to Buffalo New York. I saved this guy $700  and he gave me a $200 tip as a reward.





Saturday I drove to Mesquite with my truck and trailer and moved Glenn’s possessions from a storage unit to his new condo. He was very happy and gave me a tip as well.
