Had a heck of a day. Helping my buddy Chris with a roof. Making really good money. So it is Roofing all week, at least to Wednesday.
LEAD:Got a call from a gentleman named Brian, he is from a Catholic Charity. They have a load of e-scrap, 17 monitors, some 17" that still work. I may put a few on Freecycle. I am not sure what he really has but when a group like that calls I go on the run.
1. If they generate more scrap they will call again. Never know when they will replace a bunch of computers.
2. I will pitch them on a recycling fundraiser.
3. I will ask them for referrals.
4. I will ask them to be used as a reference.
LEAD:Two flat screen T.V.'s on 32" and one 40-something. I told the guy I simply buy them as scrap and pay about $20 bucks each. I don't know what the heck to do with them but figured for $40 I will see. It will be a lesson one way or the other.
Dropped of a small load of shredder just to get it out the truck. $24.00. I had a buddy ask me to grab some stuff off a rental he was working at. The shred is gas money. The nice part about Pittsburgh is there is a scrap yard on the way to everywhere. The stuff I got in addition was a S.S. screen door. Two brass faucets that weighed 5-6lbs, and some copper pipe, 3 lbs. I also got a little alum, and some other junk for the yard/flea shelf.
I did buy a miter saw today. Figured what the hell, I am making good money on the roof and it was on sale. $179.00 10" Kobalt Sliding Compound Miter. I know I got a tool problem. I justify it by making money with them.
I have also been pounding out the business and marketing plan and it will go up for all to see over the weekend.
I got a call from SCORE. They do mentoring and counseling as part of the SBA. I am going to meet with my rep. explain what I want to do and get some advice from a retired executive.
