You can Scot Brite that in 20 mins, wipe off with denatured alcohol and rattle can paint in under 5 mins. 30 mins tops.

Love people who have that grit. It should be rewarded. Should bump the cost to 199

In the right neighborhood, he could charge 3x as much by telling the homeowners that he’s using responsibly-sourced paint.

So $50K/yr with no health insurance or 401K match? Could make more at Buccees.
Your math is horrible. Buccees surely wouldn’t hire your dumbass.
ETA: If he only averaged 5 a day M-F for 52 weeks that’s $130,000 you moron.

We have a Boy Scouts troop that comes through every year and paints them for free to earn their Art merit badge.
They have painted mine 10 times. Every 2 years.

Side hustles are something I never did as I was always too busy doing my own stuff. I think it is a great thing though.
One thing I didn’t see mentioned in some of the calculations is the impact of weather, i.e, rain/cold.

Are you bragging about being a corporate slave?

I bet most of that income is venmo, ect and not cash. So there is a trail he would need to be careful for

You guys want to dissect this dude's side hustle like he is a fricking CEO of a fortune 500 company
Mingo's only regret was that he wasn't the first one to chime in.

He’ll have plenty of money to pay for his skin cancer treatment.

It’s amazing how lazy people can be. They’ll pay for anything.
There’s a service around me that charges an annual fee for putting a flag in your yard on holidays then coming and taking it down for you. I guess pushing a stick in the ground has gotten too difficult for people to do themselves.

Between weekends and holidays, you lose about 150 to 175 days a year of productivity at least in Texas. As a side hustle working in the evenings, it gets even more difficult the later in the day it becomes.
Recently started a "side hustle" welding pipe fence and decorative metal fences. It's hard work but pretty profitable but requires a decent investment to get started. If you work somewhat smart, you can remain busy on some of those bad weather days by working in a garage or shop. I usually weld gates in my garage on bad weather days. I actually had my first day where I welded in light rain the other day. Started off not raining, but I got down to my final two welds and it started pouring before I could get to them. Gotta make another trip. Unpacking the truck and getting geared up will take longer than the welding itself.

We have to get locking mailboxes because people come take our mail twice per month.

Did your buddy get fired from his day job yet?

We had a young kid early 20’s come thru our neighborhood. He had started his own business mailbox painting , pressure washing . HOA sent email with contact said would be in neighborhood certain week for mailbox painting .
He had two others working with him. Painted ours in an hour $100.00 looked great.
The did just over 80 in a week. Along with other services I imagine it’s a decent living IMO
