The guys that do seamless gutters are in high demand and usually booked up months in advance.

I’ve been working shift for 23 years and hope to retire in 7. I started a land clearing excavation type business a couple years ago. I do dozer work, brush cutting with excavator, and can do tractor work also. It’s good money if you want to stay busy. I do a few one day jobs a month and that’s all I want for now. I could work all my off days if I wanted to but that’s not happening right now as I enjoy my off days too much. I’ll slack way off when hunting season starts and pick back up in the spring. There’s a decent market for it in SW Ms.

What is your shift? Days or nights? I used to drive a Lav truck at MSY and dumped (literally) aircraft turds and waste for a contractor. Made $16 an hour for about 20 hours a week. Simply lie about your schedule and they are flexible.

His ol' lady told me it was because you don't have enough tip to warrant a tip. I think her words were "pencil dick."

Maybe not, but she can cook and keeps the fridge well stocked.

A belly full of food and beer might make it worth your time.

No, if I need extra money I just work overtime at work. Not many places outside of work where I can make $3k for 3 days, most of which I’m just sitting around doing nothing.

Have a guy building new cabinets for me right now. He's an operator on shifts. He has his next year booked up. Has to turn down extra work.

Why not just find a primary income that makes you rich? Doesn’t sound like shift work is cutting it

That sounds very clever but not very intelligent.
