I wonder if you guys can help me out.
My friend and I plan to make some extra money by painting and decorating. We both have full-time jobs (I work in sales, my friend as a forklift truck driver). We would carry out these jobs evenings and weekends.
We are both in our thirties and have experience DIY'ing our own homes. I don't wish to degrade any professional by saying we could do the a job just as well, but although we would be alot slower, the work would still be to a high quality.
The question i have is this. I just wondered what you guys think? Is this a feezable option? Would it work? I mean to start with we would be a lot slower than a pro, however we also don't have the overheads. Theres lots of positves and negitives.
I'm not naive enough to think this will be all hunky-doory from day one, and know i need to do a lot more market research, but hey, thats why i'm here.
Are you reading this laughing out load, or is it worth a shot?
Any help would be great.
Thanks, Jimmer.
(Nice forum, by the way, I've learn't loads already)
