I think he was looking for some suggestions that *he* could do....

I can't believe someone would pay $350.00 for a few months of outside storage... around here it is ~$20.00 / mo for outside storage....or a mushroom farm charges $115 for the winter....
Yeah, I realized that after I posted...sorry.

Boat storage for the winter is a massive business around here there are about 30 lakes in a 15-20 mile radius of where my business is. A few places get well above $500 for outside storage and over $700 for inside. It isn't just storage, it is winterizing and the storing of the boats.

OT - The only real way to make honest money is to get a job, part-time or full-time. Get rich quick schemes typically don't last very long.

wow....neat way to make $ (a bunch of $ at that). must look funny with 350 boats all jammed up.... boats all look the same to me..... (i am sure they don't to the owners).... I would never find mine...

I think i am going to look for some land in Michigan...
That's why boats have names

I'm not really looking for anything that will require a long-term commitment. This will not be my career, I just want to pay of my S2000 a bit faster than it would have taken otherwise.

I haven't given it up officially, just waiting for winter to be over. Once I detailed in 38 degree weather, and will not do it again. I see you're in Ann Arbor, I have some friends who go to U of M, maybe when I go visit them, I can detail your car as well.

HI Sam, a bunch of Audi/MB owners in the DTW area are trying to work out a deal with Classic Appreciation, they're the biggest detailer shop in the area and they typically do very nice work. if you are interested let me know and i'll forward your info to the organizers.
