wanna know how i know blind and shutter installers don't make $160,000+ a year while working 18 hours a week?

it's because i install the $2,000+ windows that they then dress up. i also do the custom trim for those $2000 windows, and i do it all in multi-million dollar mansions.

i make about $60k-$80k doing this full time. it's a nice little addition to my cannabis income, which is roughly the same range.

10 more to go.

nothing more exhilarating than standing on a 5.5'' wide plank off wobbly ladders 15 feet above a tile floor in a $3.2 million dollar mansion in the mountains of colorado, while setting a 280 pound window, then doing a jamb and case job that is stain grade.

i just feel sorry for the guy on the outside helping me, who was about 40 feet off the ground above concrete for this particular job.

but yeah, tell me about how blinds and shutters make you $160k a year. i'll listen. i could use a laugh.

I'd check your source on the "popular wisdom". Village idiot possibly? I have a successful blind and shutter business that takes up about 72 hours of my time a month. I make more in three months, than my wife makes all year, so nice try Captain Flaccid. We do voluntarily use her company's insurance plan, it rocks.

I'm sorry you don't understand how insurance works. Maybe that's why liberal's think it should be sold to individuals with pre-existing conditions. Insurance isn't healthcare, duh. You're the nitwit that turned the conversation toward insurance, we were talking about healthcare.

The hospital and doctor got paid their already negotiated fees from the insurance company that I and others paid. They didn't have to agree to those fees with my insurance company, but actually chose to do so, long before I came along with my back issue.

You don't even have a bat, I'm pitching to an empty plate. YOU'RE OUT!!!

i take down those things and reinstall them all the time when replacing windows. it's not hard. no one is making $160k a year working 20 hour weeks installing those things.

How many blinds would somebody need to install in order to make 160k income? I think it would have to be thousands. And who buys shutters anymore?

depends on the source you ask.

http://home.costhelper.com/interior-shutters.html

these folks put professional installation of interior shutters at up to $25 a window.

http://www.homewyse.com/services/cost_to_install_window_blinds.html

these folks put professional installation of interior blinds at $20-$50 per window.

muyloco puts a much more unique price on things.

I can do shutters, if you got the scratch. $24/sq ft installed. Average window 15 sq ft works out to about $360 per window. Average home 17 windows comes out to about $6,000 plus tax. Will that be cash or charge? I don't think I would accept a personal check from the likes of you.

to give you an idea, i get about $150-200 to replace the entire fucking window. that includes cutting out the old window with a sawzall or skillsaw, disposing of it, preparing the new rough opening with sill flashing and drip cap, setting of the new window, full insulation with spray foam, interior trim and sealing with caulk, as well as exterior trim and caulk. a gliding patio door gets me about $400-$500 a pop. i install those in about 6 hours. industry standard is about 6 windows a day for two men.

if he is getting $360 per interior blind/shutter (LOL), then he is installing 444 of them per year to make the $160,000 (if he magically incurs zero expenses). at 72 hours a month, that works out to be about 2 hours per shutter/blind installation. by his own estimate, he takes 4+ days just to put blinds in one house.

there is no way any of this adds up.

I think I'd like to hire you to put energy efficient windows in my modest suburban house this summer.

i'd do first story windows for $50 each and second story for $100 each. the real cost to you will be the window itself. i can get you energy star rated windows for about $300-$500 each. then you're looking at $25-$100 for other materials like foam, caulk, interior and exterior trim, and so on.

PM me some pics of a few windows and i'll give you an estimate within $100.

Maybe you don't have a family, maybe no one has ever loved you, so you don't know how a marriage works. When you're self employed and have a spouse that works for a large company that offers a ridiculous health insurance plan for chump change, you happily accept it.

Lol @ $160k, I'll hit that before August. My wife makes just over $70k/yr. I don't just install blinds numbnuts, I own the company. The two subcontractors that do my installations make more than $25k per year from the jobs I give them. My time is spent selling these days...back problems and all.

wow, she makes twice as much as a claims adjuster in your area does, eh?

and you make about ten times what an average blind and shutter installer in your area does?

well, isn;t that convenient. almost as convenient as skewed polls and a 54-40 romney win.

come back to reality.

Yeah, I needed to fabricate two back surgeries being covered by my health insurance. Because, that never happens, right? Health insurance companies NEVER honor their contracts and pay for surgeries in your reality, that about right?

Derp.

You mean they don't believe you, sounds familiar doesn't it I remembered you ridiculed me for a story about a woman who's kids died in a fire while she went to work at Mc Donald's and that her boyfriend was a helper on my job and also killed by a semi that ran the red light.

See how karma can be a bitch sometimes.
