Good question. A lot of side hustles are hard to break into, but one I “kinda” did when I bought my CAT equipment was driveway grading, ditching, etc. You really only need a CAT 304 or small skid steer (259). I bought my machines to clear my own lots but figured I’d see if I could get a few “side jobs” to offset the cost of the machines. Posted a few comments in some Smoky Mtn groups I’m in on Facebook that my guys and I can do “Driveway grading, smoothing out, ditch cleanouts, gravel spreading, lot prep, etc”. I COULD NOT KEEP UP with the amount of people wanting the work done. It had me and 2 of my employees constantly running around giving estimates, grading this, clearing that. To the point it was taking me away from my new build construction sites too much. I did probably $100,000 in work in a 3 month period. I finally had to just stop doing it because my main goal was building cabins and it was taking my focus away from that. But, a person can quickly learn how to operate a mini-excavator (304) or small skid steer and by throwing a few ads on FB marketplace you can probably gauge the interest. Again, there are many side hustles out there if you’re willing to work, this was just one that kind of fell in my lap because I bought some CAT equipment. I’d pull in $10,000+ for a 2 day job usually. One job we pulled in $28,000 to clear the land, spread gravel and put in a stormwater drain. Took about 8 days and just needed my 304 and 299 there.

Small flies have been insane this year. Door cracked for a second & in 12 hrs it seems like small flies have set up a breeding site near my sink or fruit. Easy solution I learned from an old timer when I was in the bug biz: red wine. Grab a clear glass, put a little wine or some apple cider vinegar in it, tightly place some Saran Wrap on top and poke a few holes in it. Within a few hours you’ll have tons of flies drinking themselves to death. Works for both fruit flies and phorid flies (the main two small flies which homeowners encounter and call a pest control company for). Once they are in, they can’t find the way out. This, coupled with one of the Zevo plug in fly lights will keep your kitchen free of flies for the summer

Since it’s summer vacation time I figured I’d drop the annual list of the top cities with the highest rates of bed bugs that my old employer (Orkin) just released: 1) Chicago 2) Los Angelas 3) Detroit 4) Cleveland 5) Indianapolis 6) Springfield, IL 7) Washington DC 8) Columbus, OH 9) Pittsburgh 10) Grand Rapids, MI 11) Denver 12) New York City, NY 13) Milwaukee 14) Baltimore 15) Cincinnati 16) Raleigh, NC 17) St Louis, Missouri 18) Charleston, WV 19) Davenport, Iowa 20) Flint, MI 21) Atlanta, GA 22) Philadelphia, PA 23) Dallas, TX 24) Oklahoma City 25) Cedar Rapids, Iowa And yeah I personally took this video and yes that’s someone’s bed in North Carolina and yes they slept in it every night. That “black” that covers the side of the mattress is their excrement after they feed and relieve themselves. (Pretty much dried blood) And for inquiring minds, that infestation was about a 7-10 yr infestation that had never been treated before we got involved. Hundreds feeding on the person who slept in the bed every single night.

Man in video life flighted to hospital, broken ribs, punctured lung, broken clavicle. I bought a Kawasaki Ninja when I was 30. Had it for about a week & decided to let it rip. Got up to 120mph on it. Sold it next day. Death wish. This dude shouldn’t have started with a 1000.

For everyone in the comments asking if the bear made it out of the car alive…yes, they generally always do. Usually it’s the police that get called to figure a way to get them out, but, here is an example of how a bear usually gets extracted from a car.

I worked in the pest control biz my entire life before a career pivot. I share this video about 1X per year to remind people during travel times that you can easily pick up bed bugs from family members you visit and hotels you visit during the holidays. This is why. The video is one I personally took at my days at Orkin. It’s the worst bed bug case I saw in my 25 yr pest control career. This is someone’s home. They slept in this bed every night. And the bed bugs fed every night and reproduced. YOUR problem is that individuals like this then go out to stores, to movie theaters, fly on planes, go to the doctor and sit in the waiting room chairs, come to your house for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years celebrations (or you go to theirs)…and they drop them off from the clothing they wear. German Roaches 🪳 often get introduced into people’s homes/apartments. In the video, we slid the mattress to the side (the sides of it were black from dried blood in many spots), and what you are seeing are thousands and thousands of bed bugs on the box spring.

Yellow jackets, which usually nest underground and are often disturbed by a lawn mower or chainsaw, are one of the most dangerous and aggressive insects around. (Haven’t done an Entomology post lately so figured I’d throw one on) Why are they so dangerous? Because they can rapidly and repeatedly sting. This is a video I took of one who had attacked a katydid. As you can see, even as the yellow jacket begins to feed on the katydid, he continues to rapidly “pop” the prey with his stinger, pumping the paralyzing venom into the katydid. I count around 10 full stings of the prey. When a person is stung by a yellow jacket the first time, it releases an “alert pheromone”, which signals to most of the other colony members that danger is present. A major swarm of yellow jackets will then proceed out of the nest and attack the person (or animal). It takes around 1500 stings to kill a grown adult and 300-400 to kill a child. These numbers are achieved quickly with 100-200 yellow jackets swarming. If a person is allergic, they can go into anaphylactic shock with just one sting. I’m all about “saving the bees” because of their pollination factor…but Yellowjackets are one species of insect that I would gladly eliminate because of their danger. If you see them flying around the ground, or a tree stump or some rail road ties in the landscape, avoid them at all costs.

One way to get rid of an underground (or wall void) Yellow Jacket or Wasp Nest: Rodent Glue Boards One of the problems in dealing with wasps, hornets and yellow jackets is treating the nest, even if you know where it is. It’s sometimes hard to get near them to treat without getting stung. One quick way to get rid of them is to set a glue board near the nest entry and get just ONE caught on it. I usually put a small raw piece of chicken. They’ll get stuck and start stinging the glue board along with releasing attack pheromones. The massive pheromone release will draw other members of the colony to the glue board. They in turn get stuck, start trying to sting the glue board and release more pheromones. Pretty quickly you’ll have drawn the entire colony out and they will all get stuck and meet their demise on the glue board. Side note: you will have to draw the first few to the glue board with a some type of food they like. Any type of grilled meat like burger, chicken or a piece of a hot dog works. A small piece of sliced lunch meat like ham also works. That’s why you always see them coming around your outdoor family reunion feast. They love that food. Keep in mind, if you disturb a nest of yellow jackets with a mower, or a child pushes on a small log with them in it, they will k*ll you. Anaphylactic shock, airway constriction, cardiovascular collapse. They are a public health threat and it’s totally okay to rid the world of these things. (Don’t mess with the bees though) If this method doesn’t work for you, the best product I’ve used to treat them from far away is Wasp Freeze by BASF. Also, the hanging yellow stinging insect traps are very effective as well.

In the 1700’s to 1800’s there were nearly 500,000 Elk roaming the Smoky Mtns. By 1850...zero. Hunted into extinction. In ‘01, the Nat’l Park reintroduced 25 Elk. The number is now between 200-300 & growing. Been visiting Smokies since 70’s & one of the coolest things to see around Cherokee are the massive amounts grazing along the roads leading into the National Parkway on 441. In the past 10 yrs, you can see some major physical growth on these things and hopefully their numbers will keep expanding. Such a majestic thing to see. If you have kids, I highly recommend taking that drive and pulling off the side of the road to watch them graze.

Well drilling is a GREAT business and not a lot of expert competition in many areas. Usually it’s a passed down from generation to generation type business. Not many start from scratch. Take a listen to this video of the owner & me discussing costs incurred just for ONE truck.

There’s a builder (Spencer Calvert) in Jacksonville, FL who was recently convicted of screwing people out of $15 million. The owners who he screwed over blew up his mug shot & planted them in front of all the unfinished homes in the development. Time to bring back public shaming.

This was my FIRST time on a mini ex. My good buddy flew into TN & laughed at me the whole time. Worth a watch with sound on. To answer the question: If I were getting into this “grading driveways” as a side hustle gig, I’d rent a mini ex from a local rental place first (they’re everywhere). Practice on your driveway or in your backyard first. One thing I learned with ZERO experience operating these 6 yrs ago: the best way to learn to use them is to just… “get in the seat and do it”. Practice until you’re comfortable, then throw some “I grade driveways and spread gravel. Free estimates” on FB Marketplace. Call the gravel/stone yard, ask how much to deliver per load, add a couple hundred bucks to that per load when you price a job. Go price a few jobs from leads. Rent the size mini ex you need. Probably will need a Cat 303 size for small jobs. And just do it. First few of them you may underprice, or it may take you twice as long as it normally would. But the fact is…practice makes perfect. With each new opportunity you’ll get better and better at it. I would not invest a ton in equipment right off the bat. I’d rent it until enough jobs come in that will fund the purchase of a small mini ex or skid steer.

600 ft…no agua. To put it in perspective that’s “roughly” a 60 story building. Maybe it’s my turn for some pain. What are we betting on? 700ft, 800 ft, 900 ft, 1,000 feet deep? I’m going with 700. Building on the side of mountain is not for the faint of heart.

You know it’s time to overhaul the TSA when someone like Terry Bradshaw gets patted down twice, has entire luggage searched item by item and then gets hauled off to the back “private room” for another pat down. Sometimes with these TSA folks, it’s just a complete power trip.

Sold two of my new build pool cabins in the last two weeks. Same neighborhood, same floor plan. One sold for $1,125,000. The one in this video sold for $1,350,000. Nearly a $250K difference. What made the difference? Your input from a post I made in late 2024.

This place I bought in ‘20 was some NYC doctor’s Y2K compound. He built in ‘98 in case the world blew up. Secluded land serves two purposes: It’s the best for having fun & the best if the world goes to sh!t. Also, if high up, you can see people coming 30 min before they arrive.

Wait…what? Gatlinburg made it to the finalist group for the The Boring Company’s free tunnel?!? Dear Mr Elon Musk, if Gatlinburg is picked, you can crash at one of my extremely remote cabins with the best views of the Smoky Mountains and I’ll even let you drive my side by side.

🚨Update. Kinda winging this as I go. Decided to add a MASSIVE deck/pavilion by the cabins so if people have entire families up here, they can all gather on the pavilion for lunch, dinner, a wedding, morning sunrise yoga 🤷‍♂️. Half will be open air, half covered for when it rains.

The amount of moonshine that came off of my land back in the day was probably a sight to see. We have found hundreds and hundreds of barrels. A full large scale illegal production factory was moving thousands of gallons per week. Just one little set up he took me to.

Meet Alys Beach. I lived all over FL for 40 yrs & it’s my favorite beach there. Developed by the Stephens family, a family out of Birmingham, AL, it was named after the patriarch’s wife, Alys. All structures are white, attempting to resemble Greek architecture.
