Oh, ok got it now I figured it would have somthing to do with landscape work of some sort. Good luck with that, I know there are a lot of people that would rather pay for you to do it rather them do it themselves

I just hope I can get enough work so I have enough money to drive to places during wrestling season.

when it snows you can always shovel snow. I got paid at least 20 bucks an hr and that was just sitting in my truck on the job site waiting to get out and actually work.

Get your Dad to front you the money for a snowblower. Is that not how the modern day kids that shovel snow for money do it now. Unless you're too rural to make it worthwhile. But if you can make leaves work, why not snow clearance?

2. I'd come in with either a Newholland LS 160 skidsteer or a CaseIH 180 HP tractor with a 12' blade mounted on the front

I think he's trying to prove he's not scared to climb on a roof, but refuses to pick up a broom to sweep off a new deck.

Thank you Chris. Nope not afraid of heights at all and I can prove it. I once fell 20' and landed on concrete and broke my pelvis in 5 places and my left hip. Got a nifty helicopter ride out of that one. Then another time fell about 10' and broke my clavicle. It still hurts today and that was about 8 years ago. Both of those accidents happened while I was in the steel building erection business. A lot more money in steel buildings than in carpentry. I have fallen so damn many times while building houses I've literally lost count. But then it is usually less than 10' and most of the time it is to the ground or plywood, not concrete. The damn wind was blowing too hard that day to even keep up with the leaves. But you're right, someone that can do work like that is not likely to do much sweeping...............LOL...............

Jim, thank you in more ways than one. I sure enjoy doing work like that. I wish I had more of them to do. Did a half a dozen last year, but none this year. I don't know if people are not spending money or what.

Your more than welcome Mark!!! You are right there people are not spending money. If it was'nt for a few of my larger accounts I would be dead in the water right now. The residential market has hit the bottom here and it seems to be sinking even further.
