First off I just wanted to say that I'm not a bragger and I normally don't toot my own horn but I just wanted to share this with youse guys if you're looking for different cash avenues.
I do my fair share of quick little landscape lighting gigs and make over $125 an hour putting this easy stuff in. My average gig takes total 10hours from design, to ordering, installing.
Recently I was just handed this sweet 3 part lighting gig at an HOA that I do a lot of work at. Two community pools (part 1 & 2); ups, downs, and paths for a total of 77 lights. The 3rd part is a long pathway that connects one side of the compound to the other, over a 100 fixtures. When I'm done with this job I estimate that I could pay cash for a new Toyota Tacoma 4x4 crewcab and use it as a spare tire for my 1ton 4x4 dodge dualie, if I so chose so. (Acutually I'm looking at getting a mini w/b skid)
Now you most likely won't be selling this stuff in your middle class neighborhoods. You'll have to target your upper scale neighborhoods and toss around phrases like; "Kichler" (snooty people really love that stuff), "contractor grade materials", and "night demo".
Prequalify them with a $100 non-refundable night demo discounted from their invoice if they choose to buy. Keeps the b/s'ers separate from the real deal.
