carpentry, painting, I do lots (as many as I can) jobs that are too small for a landscaping company to take on...rebuilding decks/porches, putting up fences, cutting down excess trees etc. manual labor pays best here. do lots of work on dairy farms and they pay more decently and generously than any boss I've ever had. winter is real tough...I'm trying to save up for a truck and plow if I plan on staying here long-term..
summer is much easier on everyone....I trap a small amount of eel and sell that to a local smokehouse..also sell him applewood...I get $60 per 1/4 cord, nice chunk of change to make in exchange for 45 minutes worth of work on my day off.
its hard for me to call any of this a job, I've never been paid on the books and I deffinetly can't make a career out of any of this. but for someone living in rural upstate new york, I do alright for myself.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
