DocAzz Posted February 22, 2007 Hey all, I walk for a living, and I get to see all sorts of interesting gardens while I'm out. I take snaps of some now and then. These following pics are from a garden around the corner from my place. I shot everything even if there are only a few interesting ones, someone may appreciate the rest Pardon the pics, as I only had a 1.3mpx phone on me at the time. If anyone wants some better quality shots, I'm happy to oblige. Here goes: So yeh, thats the garden. Any cacti of interest in there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 DocAzz Posted February 22, 2007 what do u do for a living, deliver catalogues? haha no, I door-knock for the family business... gotta love commission only work!! The old man owns a roof restoration company, so while I'm studying I just got for a walk an hour or two a day. I just knock and let them know we're in the area, and if they're interested I setup an appointment for an estimator to go around and give them an inspection. If the estimator makes a sale, then I get $300 (cash, of course, its a family business!). Average about one sale for every three hours of walking, which is friggin good money while I'm only doing 10 hours a week. Yeh I generally have the shakes pretty bad, even tho I think most of the blame should go to the shitty old phone hehe btw, whats a 'scop' ?? and which one would that be?

Yeh I might just go and knock on the door and say g'day. People always love me (god knows why!) so I'll just say i've got a couple of mates interested in cacti, and I told them about this great garden in the area - and they asked if i could get some photos.
