These are great ideas.
When I was in high school, I made very good money mowing lawns and doing other yard work for neighbors and family friends. By just asking, I found a lot of people were very willing to pay someone to mow lawns/ do yard work than to do it themselves. It was also great exercise, and I got to be outside! Good luck, everyone!
Would love to work with you
