I'm a DJ !

Keeps the money coming in when the weathers bad, especially around Christmas.

Has anybody thought about putting up those iceical christmas lights that hang from the gutters for customers as any extra income stream ?

I'm the other way round- i found wc as my second business. The other is markets.I am quite good at both.

Two businesses are better than one, it seems so obvious, and it is nice to have a foot in different sectors, ie, service and retail.

The only business it is possible to grow is service, retail is finished pretty much.

If you go to matt's diy site there are pics of how he lined the coffin with ordinary bin liners and made a 400litre tank.Obviously when the 'other' work is on the tank has to be empty, but mostly he schedules the 'other' stuff for afternoons.

I have a few window cleaning jobs but my main job has been a gardener for 8 years i do garden maintence.Thats why i started the windows to try and get more gardening,problem is i like w/c better it's priced get it done and your gone not hourly rate.The thing is ive built up a good range of gear and will keep it as i know with the w/c will come grass cutting and other nice little earners.Problem is starting gardening is expesive to buy good quality gear i managed to buy most of mine off ebay and it's all top brands but i am quite handy with mechanic so i can fix it if it goes wrong.

DIY coffins for pets and people!  

  Just trying to imagine a dog making its own coffin  ;D. What about a goldfish....or do they have a burial at sea?

  Is that where a dove tail joint comes from then?

The one big drawback with the funeral business is that you never build up a regular clientel. Every jobs a one off.
My mate is an undertaker and I have helped him out a few times.
