[MAXX]

My business partner and I went to the Home Show in town, to set up a very small display with business cards in my friends booth. (he's a new log home builder) So we put that in and started checking out all the display booths for different home stuff, landscape suppliers, other landscapers etc. We ended up talking to quite a few people and gave out a few cards. We started talking to a guy who builds new high end custom homes and low and behold, he finds out we're landscapers and offers us to bid on the landscape install of a brand new 85 suite motel on a couple acres of greenspace! lol. He is sending the site plan CAD within the next few days for us to make a bid. From what I understand, its already laid out with tree species, tree sizes, plant species and size, location etc. and graded. He just wants the installs and finishing. I guess we may be jumping in with both feet after all lol . After that conversation, he adds that his new home (looked more like an estate to me) is being finished early spring and he may use us for that as well-hinging on how the motel goes.To make things weirder, we were in one of the "Big Landscapes Guys" display after that, admiring their drawings. He asks us if we're landscapers after a few minutes of chat and wants to talk to both of us (if interested) about possibly being crew leaders/project management. lmao. Strange but good night. I may need some advice on the motel bid...I'll keep you guys posted if he sends the plans to me.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...Last week we went to a few places to peruse outdoor living accessories ( furniture,bbqs etc) and when the one store owner found out we were landscapers he struck a deal with us to make a small landscape with a patio area in front of his store which is in a high traffic area and its a higher end shop. We can put our name on it with a sign or rock etching. If it turns out well, which it will, he will recommend us to his customers if they are looking for landscaping. Suhweet!
