Well Mrs. BD and I have expanded the business already. We started a food service consulting business in May and now yours truly has commercialized the equipment. It will never be a full time business. I found out that people just knowing you have a decent stable of equipment they will seek you out for "small" jobs, so why not use it for some financial advantage.
I've isolated it to general hauling and residential/farm excavating. This month I've repaired and installed cattle hydrants, run water lines, cleared for a carport pad, hauled sand and limestone, and dug a drainage ditch, all within 3 miles of the house on weekends and evenings. Next month the biggest job yet, clearing a cave in (and subsequent erosion) of a running brook adjacent to a home. Wish me luck!
