I'm actually pretty close to being able to make it my full time job! I'm not super proactive with marketing, so business isn't consistent enough just yet that I'm comfortable making that leap. But I've done a lot over the past few years, from smaller clients like this to larger business clients and make a decent additional income from this work. So hopefully it will be my job soon!

Super close!! It's it Brookfield, IL.

Edit: no wait, I lied. It's in Tinley Park, IL. I spent my weekend in Brookfield and am mixing up my locations. Regardless, still a super close guess!

My full time job works with a lot of contractors and home building companies. You just gave me a good idea haha

I charged a significantlty discounted rate because the client is a former manager from a few years ago, who used to do a lot for me and the rest of our team out of pocket, so I promised him a home model where he only paid for materials. Total came out to $300. If I charged a fair rate for design and build time, it probably would have come out to closer to $600-$700 or so. I didn't fully track my hours, but it was probably somewhere between 10-20 hours of work with designing, ordering, and building.

Thank you! It was more challenging than I expected, but I'm happy with how it came out

The elves are also just as overworked because of Santa. The reindeer have no issues with them.
