I was thinking about doing some work at maybe one of the smaller churches around here. I've seen some of these churches have some pretty big lawn areas and I only have smaller 21" mowers. I can't wait until next year when I plan on buying a bigger one. So I'm not sure yet and I'm still busy with my regulars and other scheduled jobs.

I just saw an ad where someone was hiring two guys at $15/hr to hang holiday lights from now til December. Hanging lights must be pretty profitable if they're willing to pay that much right from the start.

What about even simpler stuff like creating some outdoor fall displays for them? Pumpkins, hay bails, corn stalks etc? Or maybe even some holiday lighting?

Good! Maybe it gives you more ideas!
