    This guy beat me to it

    I was just getting ready to start my patio unbrella repair service and then I see this guy is already doing it.

    Oh well. The next great idea for an obscure service is right around the corner.



    When businesses like this start popping up I know Sarasota has finally arrived.

    Wow Is there that much aof a demand for that. Out of curiosity do you know what it said under the Patio Umberlla Repair service?

    I would think it would be cheaper to throw it away and replace it

    Hahaha oh my, that`s funny. If my unbrella breaks, it`s going in the garbage (recycling).

    Unless it`s worth like $400 then I see it being worth it! lol

    Nothing special. replacement parts, covers, free estimate...


    I`m thinking of starting a "Personal Car Washing Trainer" service.

    I would come to the house and train on how to wash or detail a car then coach "motivate" them as they do it.

    Think of how much exercise they would get when I perfect "The Five Minute Car Wash Workout". After we get the workout videos done it is all gravy from there.

    Re: This guy beat me to it

    I had a friend come to me and tell me he was starting up a buisness where he would go to a person`s house and pick up their pets waste from the yard. I thought he was crazy, but after doing some research I found it is a big buisness in some towns. He is doing very well.

    We have a guy by me who does home delivery.
    He doesn`t sell anything, he just delivers
    His motto is you buy, we`ll fly
    you need coffee from the 7-11 or your favorite chinese place doesn`t deliver ... no problem, he`ll go get it for you ... for a price.

    Re: This guy beat me to it

    I always wanted to star a "Beer Runner" type business. I mean, who wants to be the one to buy the beer when its all gone, and everyone is too drunk to drive. The Beer Runner would have a conenction with a local liquor store to get the beer, liquor, ect at a discounted price and he`d deliver with an additional premium...

    I`m starting my own Puddle Sucking service.
    Are those annoying puddles getting your kids feet dirty and splashing in unwanted places?
    Have a puddle? call me up and i`ll "suck it up" for ya. I`ll bring my vacuum and the whole bit.
    $20 per puddle (prices may very based upon size of puddle)

    Re: This guy beat me to it

    It is interesting to me to see you mention this type of business because my son and I were driving in the neighborhood yesterday and viewed garage door roller fail on a neighbors garage door as we were traveling by.
