Until the fuel prices level out we will be concentrating our work locally to the West Plains area. We apologize for any inconvenience to those who have been loyal to us or those new to us looking to have things done. It is just a reality we have to face right now. We won't be able to offer services if we don't survive this also. It is a down side of having lower prices.

Let's use common sense, I know it's near extinction, but unfortunately I still have some left. We just relocated. It will take time to balance the budget out. We don't carry a large capital to work with. We don't have investors or partners investing in us. Just those we do the work for. Fair prices do not equal a large budget to work with in the first year of rebranding the business. I have no timeline of when things will balance back out and allow for travel back to our 150 miles working radius. But I will do my best to get there. On top of starting over, in order to fully serve a 150 mile radius, we are also looking to expand into Arkansas. And that also comes at a cost.

We may have a small to zero budget but that is because we reinvest in our business. I know, it's crazy, you have to spend money to make money. Relocating drained that budget. Not because we didn't plan for it but because the economy had other plans in mind. I have had to turn down way more work than I ever dreamed I would. And it didn't come with a warm fuzzy feeling.

Some say that's why they charge what they charge. Some can call it a failure to budget. Call it what you will. Plans change whether we like it or not. We have to adapt to it and move on. And that is what we are doing. Taking the good with the bad.

Right now $150 won't even cover my fuel to drive up to 150 miles away for any job. That's the reality. So even if I had thousand of dollars of work come in, it is not all at once. And it is not enough to carry the bills I have to pay to keep this business afloat. I am doing business as I have felt lead to do business. Not like the others. And it comes with a heavy weight to carry sometimes.

We don't have investors, we don't have partners, and we rarely get donations. There is no inheritance or trust fund someplace. This wasn't handed down to us. Our clients are our investors. And there are a lot of times we use our private funds to invest in the business when the work isn't enough. We are building this business from the ground up. So please excuse us as we do what is necessary.

Just a reminder, we are located near West Plains now. There has been an overwhelming amount of work coming in that we just simply cannot take on right now from our old location. It is within our service area, however with how things are, it is just not possible to take on those jobs right now. It breaks my heart to turn down work, but I must do what is right for me and the business at this time. I am so grateful that the phone and messages haven't went silent. That means a lot. Believe me, if there was a way I could take all the jobs in that area I would in a heartbeat. Right now I have to take some personal time and take care of personal things. And I have to concentrate on getting the business going here also. It is coming down to the end of another year and the end of another working season for us.

Another reminder, I do not do handyman, pressure washing, or home renovations.

Thank you all for being faithful and loyal clients. It means so much to us.

With diesel fuel prices below $5 a gallon, it cost around $15 to refill my equipment. Around $150 to fill the truck from empty to around a 1/4 of a tank left.

With fuel prices over $5 a gallon, it is costing double to fill a 5 gallon jug. From $15 to $30. The truck takes $180-200+ to refill.

This last job at 2 hours from home cost nearly $300 just to get to the job. Another $150 in equipment fuel, and $120 to top the truck back off (luckily fuel went down finally). That's $550+/- to get the job done. That doesn't cover the man hours, the breakdowns, the maintenance, etc.

So if you have questions as to why I would raise my prices, I'm not working for free. It's that simple. I'll help people the best I can to be able to afford my services. But if I don't make money, there's no point keeping the business going. I offer discounts, I offer different payment options. Down payments help but I don't like asking for them. And I rarely, if ever, ask for the whole thing down. Yes payment breakdowns can do damage but I've always been willing to take payments on the total invoice. Payments can also keep a business in business having a constant revenue coming in.

Many if you have been dumbfounded at my prices. And I have gotten by with them as they were. But when the economy goes to crap, I don't have a choice. I have to survive also. I understand the struggle and I understand some of you can barely afford what I charged you, but in the end I am running a business not a hobby. I have taxes to pay. Upgrades, repairs, regular maintenance, insurance on the equipment, insurance on the business. Utilities that I use for the business. A phone bill. An internet bill. Etc. All on top of these fuel prices.

I'm not making excuses. I'm not price gouging. And I am sure not greedy. Either I make ends meet or you have to find someone else. And good luck finding people with low as prices as I give and the quality I deliver. At the end of the day, I either make a paycheck or I don't leave the house. As simple as I can put it. I have children to support and bills to pay. Working to break even is not an option.
