Painting job I did two weeks ago paid $800 for 14 hours work. cash. Roof job I did Friday for $2700 total inc materials,etc. Profit of $1500 for 12 hours work.
I may try to find winter work in a body shop for a few months in winters at some point but right now I'm focused on work, trying to get my house and "stuff" sold off.
