Any Ideas?

Though I love staying home with "Little Buddy", we built our home before he was born. Up until then we spent our life in apartments. We went from nine hundred sqare feet to over three thousand. WE NEEED BUKU FURNITURE. But with me staying home means no money to buy what we need. Needless to say, I am going stir crazy staying home with the baby in an empty house. Anyone know of a good way to make a decent income from home?

You could try re-finishing furniture...although the start up cost might be too much for you, it sounds like since you need some furniture anyway, you could go to yard sales and try buying some cheap wood furniture that is in need of re-finishing.

If you have a garage you can do the work in there (sanding and finishing)

After practicing on some pieces for yourself, you might then decide if you are good enough and enjoy the work enough to keep doing it for some x-tra income.

Just a thought :wink:

Sell drugs.

Meth is popular in the West. Crack still dominates the East.

:twisted:

Sorry. No advice on money making. But for furniture cheap, check out IKEA for cheap new furniture. It won't last forever, but you also won't cry too much when junior trashes it. Consignment shops often sell used furniture that is still in very good shape.

A friend of mine used inflatable furniture for a while. Pretty hilarious, and makes it easy to redecorate. :-) Of course, this was back when we were young and stupid. :wink:

When I was single and moved into my first house I had almost no furniture....hehe...made some stools, tables and a makeshift entertainment center out of 2 by 4s. They were heavy and ugly but cheap :wink:

..Norm Abrahams need a stiff dose of Sennacot cuse he complicated sthings too much... WHo the hell needs a biscuit cutter when a 1/4' drill bit and wooden dowels do just as well.

Norm really irritated me until I got more tools. He'd use one thing one time, a different thing another, I think he's just trying to let you know how to use what you got. Unfortunately he's always grabbing for that biscuit cutter... oh, and "pocket screw technology" I wonder if he gets paid extra for every time he says that.

I remember I used to turn that show on just about the time I was ready for a nap. Nothing like the Yankee workshop to lull you to sleep (well maybe Bob Ross's painting show)

I think I might have a new lead on a potential Stay at home gig. It would require no initial investment but might require some cash for advertising it. Still researching it. It would be just a few extra dollars unless you really promoted it well.

I might even be able to bundle it with the Personalized kids CD I help a company sell.
