Window Blinds 
When not too busy with farm chores I will occasionally work as a
window blinds installer. I only work when the regular
installer is too busy or on vacation. A typical installation job
takes about four hours, depending on how many windows there are.
A really large job for a new house with lots of windows can take
two days. A small job with only one or two windows can take as
little as 15 minutes. Plus the time required to load the
truck, drive to the job site and dump the trash afterwards.In addition to window blind and shutter installation, I've also done the occasional odd job. I designed a brochure that was used at a Home & Garden show. Then I built the display walls that were used at the show. I think both turned out quite well. 
My favorite installation jobs are in any of the condos near the
beach. They usually consist of a sliding door and maybe a half
dozen windows. The new condos are the best because there are
no old curtains to take down and little or no furniture in the
way. Many of the condos are vacation homes or rentals so the
owner is often not there. Some owners are pickier than
others. Most are quite reasonable and happy to have their new
window blinds installed. Others will nitpick every little detail
and nothing is ever good enough for them. Installing in older
houses can sometimes be messy and crowded. It's
difficult to work when I can't even find a clean spot on the floor.If I only have one or two small installation jobs in a day and everything goes smoothly then I can usually find time to swing by the beach on the way home. That's excellent incentive for me to get the job done quickly. 20 minutes at the beach is all I need. I'm smart enough to bring my bathing suit with me but I always forget a towel so I have to ride home wet. That's ok, it's worth it.
