The map

Where each area sits relative to the truck.

A few things are true right across the ring: town water is hard groundwater and well water beyond the city limits is harder, pressurized irrigation off the canals gets mistaken for the house supply, summer pushes a garage refrigerator beyond its design, and winter can freeze a dryer vent solid. Each of those bends the diagnosis — a dishwasher element scaled over in Caldwell, a compressor cooked in a Kuna garage, a propane range in Marsing that was converted badly — which is why each area below has its own page and its own notes. Boise, Eagle, Emmett and Mountain Home lie beyond the ring; call from one of those and you hear it on the phone, not from a truck that came out for nothing.

Across the river

Marsing and Homedale are Owyhee County, reached over the Snake on Hwy 55 and Hwy 95. The truck crosses on the same price card Nampa gets, and nothing for the bridge lands on the invoice.
