5 gallon bucket

[Rick2 42]

A message on the answering service yesterday went something like this; Hi this is Mike, you did my house earlier today, no problems, it looks great. You left a 5 gallon bucket behind when you left. I don't have any use for it so I'll leave it by the garage for you to pick up later. Thanks, bye.

OK, go get your bucket. Did I miss something.

[Rick2 42]

Sort of. It's the part where he said "I don't have any use for it so I'll leave it by the...." Know what I mean? I know it was just a 3 dollar bucket from Home Deopt but it sounded as if he had the right to keep something that belonged to me but he didn't have any use for it.

[DAVID V 22]

Gotcha Rick. Just because we leave something doesn't make it their property.

You may think of having company labels made to stick on the buckets, for a more professional image.

I've got labels, just never thought to put them there. Good idea.

Well, a few people here have taken cones sitting along the road. At least the bucket was on his property.:-)

I used to have lawn signs taken years ago when I first started this business. Nice metal signs that cost quite a bit. I don't use signs anymore because the jobs get done so quickly, besides the truck and trailer are lettered.

Dang, Alan is alive...I thought he went to the great beyond, or East LA, or something.
