Stop in for a cup of coffee

He's at the college there. I knew a guy like you, a fix it guy. He retired got a truck, put his name out, and had more work than he wanted with home repairs.
He raised his hourly rate a couple times thinking that would slow business down...nope.
Finally just plain cut it back to 20-25 hours a week. Cash business!!

Yep, correct @ a college. I did work 15 years in a max security prison prior to coming to the college. I miss being the hands on guy out fixing things, now Im pretty much a desk jockey and rarely get my hands dirty. It certainly isnt stimulating, and Im bored a lot.

The thought of starting my own business would be interesting doing something similar to that, but I wouldnt want the hassle of chasing money if people didnt want to pay and more or less being on call for HVAC issues. Although I wouldnt have to deal with all of the political BS that happens here, that would be a blessing!
