Who else really loves their job?

Can you get back in to painting again? Start small, advertise in local papers. We always look there first, try to find local people. That's where we found an electrician to replace the main panel and the company that just did our roof.

I agree, I wish I could find someone to paint my house that was reasonable, a couple years ago I had a company paint my living room and kitchen (18 foot ceiling in the living room and I'm not to wild about heights) and the best quote was $1500 and I pay for paint. Then when the work was done, it was one kid (about 20) that did the painting and it took him 3 full days and I fiqured if they were paying him $20 a hour it cost them $480 to pay him...the rest went for profit for the guy that hired him. While I understand everyone needs to make a profit but that is out of line if you ask me. I rather pay someone who knows how to paint and has the equipment and pay them $50 a hour and they make the extra.

Im thinking of doint that.The start up cost is small considering you dont have to rent or lease a bulding.Im suposed to be helping my dad this mounth with a job in mass.Want to run the idea of helping him more even if I have to travel to Michigan so he can teach me how to give good price quotes and get back into it.Mabye even see if he would want to expand his existing business to the east.Only good thing about being unimployed is it gives me a little time to figure something out.
