I started selling carpenter bee traps this past weekend. I sold one on Saturday. A whopping $8 sale, YIPPEE!! The buyer was an older guy and we had a nice talk. He's into property management and real estate for apartments and condos. He went to work for a big real estate firm that was branching out into this area and he helped get them going. The franchise has a new owner he doesn't want to deal with, so he's about to start back up on his own. I may be getting some work through that now.
But for now, he called and said his electrical engineer friend will be calling me about a project he has. He has a school bus he's converting into an RV. He told this friend about some of the work I've done that came up in our conversation and the bus guy was impressed. He wants me to do some special trim work in this crate
. It sounds interesting and I like doing interesting jobs

Very much!! I had inquired with a business that sells reclaimed lumber like this, doors, hardware, architectural features, etc. and he gets $28 a lineal foot. So, those beams would have been $400@ x 7 = $2,800. And oak not chestnut. I'm glad I came across that deal.
