I want it! seriously though I couldn't afford the gasoline ( that's petrol for you British blokes) but I know what you mean about having too much on your plate. I'm so busy with my crap job and other crap right now that it's hard to find a moment to even fart! LOL. I had a side job painting a house not too long ago and would have made some good money but being so busy with everything it took too long to get to it and he finally had someone else do it. Oh well.Tex Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305385304114703534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812565194883305916.post-14881741432902302142012-07-22T16:46:24.893-05:002012-07-22T16:46:24.893-05:00Nightshift here...he buys military surplus and old...Nightshift here...he buys military surplus and old 4 wheelers and parts them out. Also alot of firearm accessories. He's selling a nice military Humvee if your interested? LOL. There is alot of competition around here on yard work as people cant afford to pay someone. I have been given leads and offers but I have too much on my plate now. I guess knowing how to talk to people and having a neat appearance helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812565194883305916.post-87201285202644659022012-07-22T02:53:12.609-05:002012-07-22T02:53:12.609-05:00Nightshift, Thanks for commenting. It sounds like ...Nightshift, Thanks for commenting. It sounds like you have a pretty good gig with the 5 lots and it's just what I'm talking about. I'm glad you brought up the E-bay thing too. I didn't mention it because I've never had any first hand experience selling on E-bay but it is something I've been thing about.Tex Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305385304114703534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812565194883305916.post-29742919201722244922012-07-21T14:00:40.679-05:002012-07-21T14:00:40.679-05:00Nightshift here.

Works out to $325 when I cut all 5. Takes about a day and a half each time. I am paying taxes on it though so I clear about $20/hour. I also work a full time and a part-time job just trying to make ends meet and have a little extra for prepping. The only extra equipment I had to get was a serious weed-eater which I needed anyway. I may be able to write off some stuff on taxes.<br /><br />Another option for work, realtors and banks are getting loaded with vacant houses and forclosures. Some need minor repairs, painting, cleaning, mowing, ect. If you dig around you may be able to get some work. If you work cheap you may be able to do it under the table too if you are dealing with a realtor or even a landlord with alot of houses.<br /><br />Another less savory job that some may consider is serving papers for attornies or court. This can pay $50 per paper or more. Not for everyone though.<br /><br />I have a buddy who buys and sells on E-bay, ect. Its his only employment and he survives.<br /><br />Good post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812565194883305916.post-70859569159911777452012-07-21T12:39:07.912-05:002012-07-21T12:39:07.912-05:00Thank you and please come backThank you and please come backTex Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305385304114703534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812565194883305916.post-68851145372670836882012-07-21T12:27:37.891-05:002012-07-21T12:27:37.891-05:00Nice blog.Nice blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
