The Shit We do for Extra Money Thread

I just laid ~500 sq. ft. of tile in my mom's living room for a lousy $1600. Not 1 ft. squares either, they were 36" x 5 1/2" woodgrain tiles. Had to do a bunch of rips on one side of the room where the shit dies into the wall.

Who the fuck lays tile in a living room too hard n cold on the feet. What do u mean by wood grain tile like a ceramic tile with a faux wood grain? My parents have that in a kinda slate gray at their house looks really nice in the mud room.

yeah, i used to see the grey tone stuff in bathrooms quite a bit in the last few years. This stuff looks like red oak. She wanted tile in the living room, because she can't seem to get her little dog to stop pissing in there. (which is hilarious to me, because that dog never pisses inside when i take care of her at my pad, so i know the dog is just doing it to be a bitch)

you did it wrong and you were expecting more? tile get's laid from the center of the romm to the edges to keep shit looking consisten, that way there isnt a wide tile on one wall and a cut tile on the other

oh please. I told her to pay me whatever she wants, and she came up with 1600. which, btw is about half of the low end labor cost on a job like this. I'm not complaining that she didn't pay enough, i'm complaining that i spend my off time doing hard work for a little extra dough.

I know that, but she wanted to have the cuts all on the side of the room obscured by furniture rather than see cuts around the whole perimeter of the room. it actually looks more like a wood floor this way

I was just being a Melvin man not serious, honestly though if you smoke weed just start slanging that shit, it doesn't take up that much of your free time and you could sell smaller amounts and still pull and extra 300-500 bucks a week.

This isn't a thread about mom work anyway, its a thread about crummy side jobs. I also just got done painting a wrought iron fence for $250(not for my mom), and today (my precious day off) i'll be going to set base board and shoe for my mom, and run new landscaping water for a neighbor. next week, i have to push a block wall back up straight, and build a couple pilasters to hold it there. FUCK! i haven't had many days off this summer, and school is gonna start again soon. I haven't been to the beach even one time this year

used to do this when i was younger. it was sweet, but all my runners got arrested on the same day, so i decided to retire. probably for the best anyway, because the clubs put all the slangers out of business

back in 09 i did the scrap metal thing pretty hard. I made close to 10,000 in a summer. all legal too. i would look on craiglist for people who needed to clear their property for brush abatement, and i would do it for free in exchange for any metal. I also got a big boiler from a Motel/sizzler once. That thing had 3 grand worth of copper inside, and the steel was worth about 800

I sell magic cards and purses on ebay to make extra money. Just shipped out a Kate spade bag this morning for an $85 profit (the bag was free).
Shipped out the magic card: days undoing , for $12 yesterday. Easy money.

Scrapping sure has changed since I did it, prices are at an all time low. I was foin it in Mississippi, we'd dredge the river for old telephone cable lengths, these things were about 8" diameter, and had roughly 20lbs of lead and copper per linear foot, if we could drag just 10 feet of this out of the river and manage to get that into the truck (up an embankment) we could make about 200 off it. Then we had multiple old municipal buildings from the early 20th century that were available to us, buildings that were slated for demolition, the private owner gave us permission, we must have hauled 7000 feet of cast iron pipe out of those one school building alone - we'd get about 400 per truck load. We also saved up nonferrous and took it down to Louisiana for slightly higer pay out, one such haul was $3700
Only thing was that I got 33.3% of each haul, the other 66.65 went to the truck owner, I still was mis'sipi rich! Bought a van and started making 50% hauling my own loads

If I need extra dough I pick up computer related work, anything from web admin to coding in a number of languages/platforms, low voltage wiring, server/service cutovers, VoIP etc.
I could get as much work as I care to do, so I try to restrict it to business jobs (or rarely I will work for individuals if they can swallow my regular rate of $125/hour).
I could easily go back to solo work exclusively but I like knowing I have a regular check coming in, and not having to worry about marketing/invoicing etc. Therefore I keep my regular job as a Network Engineer, but I like being able to generate extra cash on the fly.
I do get a little sick of computers at times but its a living.

I do electrical work on the side or yard work if I need some extra money. My job keeps me busy enough that the last thing I want to do when I leave work is more work.
