Last year, I bought a used Graco 3400 for $2,300. This week, I am striping two apartment complexes for $8,400. Hard to believe. Let's have a week!

April 2025: trying to figure out next business. Never heard of striping and sealing. April 2026: $46,645 in revenue on the books for the month. We've got 3 more quotes out, and a couple days open still. Any one of them would put us over that magic number of $50k. Here's the breakdown: Striping only: 5 jobs - total of $9,720 Seal & Stripe: 3 jobs - total of $36,925 Of course I'm really happy, and can't believe how far we've come, but there's lots keeping me up at night too.

Time for a bounce house update. After some quick bookings right when I got started, messages/interest slowed waaaay down. Not going to lie, I wondered if I made a mistake buying them. To be fair, I wasn't putting any effort in. Wyatt | Local Business Growth and I had been talking for a while, and I decided to give him a chance and he quickly built a website, and got it ranking with his local SEO magic. He's been great to work with, even though I haven't given him much to work with (no gbp yet), and since the site has been live, bookings have started rolling in. Getting him onboard made all the difference. We've got 2 next week, and 2 the week after. As I've had reps, I've gotten faster at setup and especially takedown. Still, I've realized this business isn't for me. We'll get our money back, and I do want to buy one more, an obstacle course inflatable, so we'll have to keep the rentals coming in for a while. And even after everything is paid off, I probably won't turn down rental opportunities (I'm sure every Memorial Day and 4th of July will be booked), but it's just a little fun money side-hustle. Residential small ticket is hard. Everyone wants to ask about lowering prices, and then there's lots of logistics (figuring out setup time, pickup time, party ended early and they want to know if we can get there quicker, etc.). All for an average rental of $300. Which is still amazing for very little work, but it doesn't feel worth the hassle or worth trying to grow. The best part is how much my kids love them. I thought they'd be tired of them by now, but they love them. The inflatables have been worth it for that alone. We usually setup one a week and leave it in our backyard for 2 days before putting it away.

They call me the Taco Man! Just striped my fourth Taco Bell. He's been a great client. Will probably be a seal and stripe later in the year, but he needed a restripe done immediately, so I was happy to oblige. There's some potholes that need cut out and patched too, as you can see in this bumpy video. These are quick, easy jobs, and I love seeing the work I've done around the community. The bonus was going home with a party pack comped by the owner.
