the million and one things to do before you leave—laundry, clean the house, or parts of it, send invoices, go to the dump, once for a client’s debris, once for household trash, set equipment out for your crew for the couple jobs lined up, clean the car, pack the car, install the new dash cam. Make sure you send your absentee ballot in. Put the ‘Hold my mail’ card in the mailbox!
