Marshall Bryan stayed busy as could be and made a good living for his family at his place there on College and Railroad with small engines and coal.
You probably could open a shop and do well.

I feel you NSDQ. I have been thinking about this for some time. But, i have to ask, how would you charge a dumb ass who brings a mower with no gas in it. I put gas in it and i starts and run? My last buddy that brought me a mower that couldn’t run had never serviced it. I drained the mud that was in it, changed all the filters, cleaned the carb, changed the belt, greased the spindles and sharpened the blades..... that thing was running like a top. He was getting ready to just give it away because he thought it had broke down. I got my neighbors generator out in the garage right now. He left it set up for 6 months with ethanol gas in it. I’ll clear his jets on his carburetor tomorrow and get it firing. I bet there’s thousands of folks like this in the Athens/Madison area just waiting to spend money. We may be on to something here.

If you set up a shop make it where customers can’t get to your work area to shoot the breeze.

He was getting ready to just give it away because he thought it had broke down. I have a craftsman riding lawn mover in my garage cause a co-worker couldnt replace a head gasket and a shop wanted $600. Put it at the curb. It is 5 bolts, $15 gasket, adjust the values, done. Literally took 2 hours.
