My Home About Me

I've seen people do this all day, charge up to $40 per painting and do whole neighborhoods: Re-painting the address numbers on curbs of houses. I always thought this was a cool and easy way to make some extra money, but I've never given it a try. So in some spare time this week I bought some plastic stencils (About $8) and some black/white outdoor spray paint (About $10) and decided to see how hard it could be. I took the materials outside and gave it a rough shot on some newspaper: It was a little messy, and I had to end up cutting the stencils apart, but my first painting came out alright. Not perfect, but alright. I then started using tape to seal any loose areas of the stencils together, and I successfully made a semi-neat spray of the numbers. This isn't hard stuff, but it takes a little trial and error testing. I've seen lots of neighborhoods around Austin where I couldn't find a house because of the lack of address numbers, think of what would happen if a police car or ambulance couldn't find your house number. Perhaps in the next few weeks I'll give this a shot. I tried it out on some old curbage at my apartment complex, and it turned out decent....very rough....but nothing a little practice won't clean up. This would be an awesome way to make a good $100+ a day for a couple of high school kids or Boy Scouts. I think I'd actually like to try it myself though. I haven't had any door-to-door selling experience in over 4 years, and I kind of want to do it again. It seems everyone nowadays is talking about "Making money doing nothing" .....which is great....but making money from good old manual labor is sometimes very rewarding!
