A Waterslide? What could be a more fun way to make money?
True story. A an eleven year old girls asks her grandpa to help her buy a waterslide. He asks her how much money she has saved, to which she replies, “Only $311″. Grandpa laughs and tell her to go ask her parents if she’s allowed to use some of her money to get the slide. She then told him that she didn’t have enough money.
“How much is this water slide, anyway?” he asked.

“$600,” she replies.
“I didn’t even know they made Water Slides that cost that much so I said
lets go take a look at this thing”. They hopped into the truck and drove to
the store to take a look.
On the way there she started telling him more about the slide.
He asked her why she wanted such a Big Water Slide and she said, “Well, I
was thinking that I could have friends over to play in it and when we’re
not playing with it we could rent it out to other people for Birthday parties
and we could make some money!
He thought that was a darn good ideal so they bought it!
They’ve now had it since last Friday and her and a few friends played in it
over the weekend.
Soon they received a call from one of granddaughter’s friend’s parents wanting to know if they could rent it for two days while they have a family get together.
He called her and asked her if that would be OK and she said “Yes, that’s why we got it”. She also asked which days they wanted it for? I told her this Thursday and Friday.
So for $100 a day for two days! Talk about going green!

We actually did something similar two summers ago. We bought it and sold tickets to the neighborhood kids to come and ride!! They love it!
Renting it out is genius! I think I’ll have to try that with the kids this summer!

Glad you like the idea! We were impressed. On a serious note, you should look into business insurance if you are going to start renting it out.
