Hard Times

[grumpydavesmith]

Was just wondering during these hard times when work can be in short supply, what do you guys do to earn some extra cash? I've only been going around 9 months and work is very short at the moment, i'm expanding into logs but these wont be ready till later in the year. Was thinking of maybe offering a Grass cutting service, but i imagine this is very cut throat with low margins?? What do you guys think?

 

Cheers

Hi dave

 

Your 9months in to it and its the start of a brand new year as well so work is always going to be slow around this time of year for a lot of people.Hold your head up and when you can save a little just for times like this.If you ever worried or thinking about jacking it in Best thing to do is to go out and climb a tree it will soon change you mind about it Or stand in the garden and rev the saws full wack for a bit

 

Its not the best advice but hope it helps in some way

I've gone off on a complete tangent and I'm doing a bit of part time bar wenching work. It's not ideal - I don't drink so there aren't even any perks! - but it's pocket monies.

 

And it's a heck of a lot warmer than surveying at this time of year

Stick all the stuff you don't want on ebay, especially any branded clothes, shoes, tools, etc. You'll be amazed what some stuff fetches. Just speaking from experience.

Running excavators and groundworks, logs, scrap:blushing:, removals etc. the van can be very useful someone you know always needs one.

Get some leaflets out. That usually brings something in. Thats what kept me going to start with. Failing that, get a part time job, phone around for subbie work. Don`t give up! You`ll get there.

I,m considering tripping up at the local CO-OP as they never put the wet floor sign up when there mopping . Its already had me once . On a serious note leaflets and dont never give up

Grass cutting can be good money but you need a lot of customers, no more cut throat than tree work. Not mush grass cutting work around this time of year thou:001_tt2:
