hehehe....

Just grab a windex bottle and a squeegee and go door to door asking if they want there exterior lower windows cleaned for $10 bucks, it may take a few hours but compression testers are roughly $50 bucks!!! Whenever I need some extra cash for tools, I pull this stunt.....it's like free money! GET R DUN
