This guy beat me to it - 05-29-2008, 11:42 AM

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 like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

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.

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.

God you gotta love NY

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)

Suck-it-up Puddle service

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.
