We’ve been hanging Christmas lights in 2 of the most high end HOAs in my area. The residents referred us to the HOA board to light entrances. Next year I’m going to try to get the club houses and roundabouts. Long story short, I need to do a high end proposal and need to show them what I’m thinking.
I need someone who can simulate lights on evergreens, stone walls, one end has a castle like parapet and old timber beams. Is anyone interested? Send me some samples of your work and a bid if you are! I’d rather hire one of you guys than fiverr on this one.
There’s a guy in Morton that does light displays on Halloween and Christmas. The lights move to the songs he chooses and even has lights in the shapes of faces whose mouths lip sync to the words. When you pull up you tune to a certain radio station to hear them. Here’s a link to his Facebook page with videos of each song. Your daughter will get a kick out of watching the videos. One of the Christmas songs was the Christmas version of Baby Shark and he also used Ghostbusters. It’s pretty neat. I would say it’s worth a drive over for you but you’re only talking maybe 10-15 minutes of different songs and they start repeating.
I’ve never really heard of permanent lights. That sounds interesting. Is that basically what the guy is using in the facebook videos I posted?
I think I’m going to give Christmas lights a try next year. My body is to broken up for boilermaker work so would like to pursue other self employment options. I think I’ll still do some boilermaker work but I know my body isn’t going to hold up until I reach full retirement age. I’ll probably just do a short outage after the 1st of the year just to keep retirement stuff going. Retirement age use to be 50 years old, then 55, and now it’s like 68. Yeah, I’m going to be crawling around on my knees on hard steel tubes and sharp angle at 68 years old…lol. It’ll probably be 78 by the time I retire. My back is so sore in the morning I can barely get out of bed now. I can’t imagine what it would be like in another 10 years doing that work. Anyways, I’ve already learned that owning a business is definitely where it’s at. I think Christmas lights will fill in just enough gap to where you could roll right into preparing for the upcoming wash season. I just finished my last pressure washing job this past Friday but would rather close down a few weeks earlier. I know it’s possible to wash into the end of November every year.
You know what me doing Christmas lights means? It means Brodie better be ready for some questions!.
If I worked for you there would be some years where I’d be lucky to get even one day of work in before the end of the year. I remember when I got my first bike for Christmas I was riding it in a t-shirt because the high was like 60 degrees. The following Christmas the high was -2…lol. I guess you’ll just have to pay me for the days it doesn’t snow too. You make more money that way so it’s only fair that I do to.
For 35k I’ll supply the salt! You gotta put a plow on the truck and buy a bed salt spreader. Or you could just buy a salt spreader and rent a machine for the winter!
