I was the driver for arena valley wholesale, I was cleaning flowers, pulling flowers and then boxing the flowers for delivery, I did in town and outside of town, went to sun valley, twin falls and every where in between. I was there for about a year and a half then they release me to have his son inlaw work for him.

I don't remember the dates but I work there for a little over 6 years. When the shipment or flowers came in Monday morning we would clean the flowers put them in buckets, then the people would pull the flowers put them on the tables, we would put them in boxes for the routes, then put the boxes in the vehicle's then go do the route. My route was from Boise to rexburg Idaho hitting all the town's on the way, this route was Monday and Thursday. I had a route Tuesday to LA Grande Oregon and on Wednesday I had Sun Valley. I also did the Mc call route. Did this in Summer, fall, winter and spring.

As director of maintenance my job was to take care of the properly, my main job was to turn apartments get it ready for the next tenants moving in, this involves anything electrical, plumbing, painting, Repairing the walls patching and painting, moving furniture, Helping residence with issue they have. Ordering parts, keeping the parts room organized and clean. Had to keep the grounds clean, snow removal and put ice melt down to keep the residence safe. I was the only maintenance person there.

As a maintenance Technician, my job was to do work orders, Turn apartments, fix and repair everything inside of the apartments. Anything electrical, plumbing, painting, taking out the carpet, cabinets, replace doors, light fixtures, ordering parts, keeping the shop clean, I also had to clean the pool, put chemical in the pool, and clean the pool area when the pool man was not in that day or on vacation. Also had to do grounds, pick up trash, snow removal, ice melt and made sure the sidewalks were safe. We had to replace air filters every 4 mouths.

This is where my career started as a maintenance Technician. This is how I learned doing maintenance work, I already had alot of knowledge going in to this work. Just doing the basic work like painting, plumbing, electrical, repairing. Working well with others and having respect for others, doing my job the best I could do.
