In fact, my rug side of the biz is booming. I don't even advertise because I found out cleaning rugs is a pain in the ass as a solo cleaner. But it pays the bills and the money I charge seems almost criminal.... so I do it. I must be getting old because this is about the 10th poly rug with this pattern I've cleaned.
Yeah I still clean rugs.

what bike is that?
I figured you were up to 50k a month in income from your investments dealio by now and quit cleaning.
On a side note, is what you and Boyle are doing considered a victimless endeavor or is some person or persons taking the brunt of your wins?
I dont understand it and dont care enough to do the research, but I'm sorta curious.

That Sir, is the Harley Davidson Pan America in it's rarest form as a rug cleaning assistant.
Boyle and I, we are still plugging away. Been a crazy month with all the tariff adventures. I'm waiting for the Crypto Alt Season to hit then I can retire and buy my private airfield.
As for work, I'm always busy. Got four jobs today and three rug deliveries.
What we do is mostly sell puts and calls to others. Anything with stocks is a zero sum game. For every winner there is a loser. When we sell-to-open a contract we are immediately paid a premium from the buyer. It is like issuing an insurance policy that if the stock drops below the strike price, we insure that we will purchase the stock at the agreed upon strike, no matter how low it goes. If it doesn't drop below the strike, then We keep all the premium and the contract expires worthless at the end of the contract date, just like when you use up the full term of your car insurance policy and never file a claim. You are out the premium you paid, but the insurance company made money selling you that policy that you paid the premium on.
Clear as mud.

I'll stick to carpet cleaning tool sales..
I help my people innumerable ways, have an incredible niche, no real competition and have more money than I know what to do with, loads of free time, surrounded in what I think is the most beautiful of all landscapes, and can not imagine quitting...
and I'm just getting started.
and, If I croke tomorrow Paula is set for life.
Praise the Lord!

I can't recall..
Hey damon, is there a special way you drag out those heavy rugs from their houses?
I wasted a trip out to get a 9X12 heavy ass rug today. I rolled it up, attempted to pick it up and just told them I'll be back later when I get some help. Is there a rolling device I can lunge it on to take it out of the house?

Most of the time I just wrestle it out with my manly body. But for real heavy stuff I roll it on multiple panino dollies. I also have a Cylindrical dolly that I use.
Fun fact....... I hate it when I go to pick up a rug and the customer is not ready for me. All their furniture is still in place and there is an entertainment center protecting the end from urine contamination. It really pisses me off. I tell the customers, Have the rug rolled up and ready for pickup. It goes in one ear and out the other.
I picked one up last week that was not ready to go. I had to move this guys couch and Marty-recliner, and part of his entertainment center. Then, while rolling it up I noticed the backing was covered in squished cockroaches. I almost threw up. It was an 8x10 rug and I charged him double to clean it.
P.S. I know Jim secretly loves my adventures.

9x12 is easy.. It's the 12x14's in a condo on the 40th floor that take a toll on your shoulder..
As for a dolly to make larger rugs easy I use a kayak dolly.. Put it on 1 end and use a bungee to keep the rug on so it doesn't fall off over bumps.. I had a 16x20 that my mom and I had to load..

I have a 2 wheel trolley for my canoe that I use. I put one end on it, strap it tight, then pick up the other end and roll it out. Usually, 9x12 94 larger, I ask if they have help available. Otherwise, it will cost them if I have to hire a helper.
