History PCU Enterprises – A Humble Beginning

But hold on, he had decided to leap into the great unknown. Yup; Richard decided he was to start a handyman business! But here was his self-imposed terms – “Failure Was Not An Option!”

The wheel of history was in motion. So; Richard proceeded to look for a pickup truck. Fortunately; the vehicle appeared! A 1972 Chevy 4X4 short-bed pickup with a snowplow. Unfortunately; Richard had little money since unemployment checks aren’t supposed to make us wealthy.

Income from an old apartment house he purchased provided little cash flow. So; Richard decided that his mission required drastic action. Therefore; he offered the mechanic selling this truck the following; approximately half the furniture in his house and a studio-quality stereo system purchased when stationed overseas.
Additionally; He traded a Chevy Nova, a utility trailer among other items for this truck. In retrospect, he states he didn’t get the better end of that deal. But; he had his sights set on the long-term plan.

Richard Hits The Pavement

Little did Richard know, but; history was in the making. So; he began advertising on a shoestring budget. And, before he knew it, he had more work than he could handle. Fortunately; one day a specific job request was made that changed the direction of his handyman business.

As fate would have it, Richard was asked to cut his first lawn. Sure; the history of PCU Enterprises Lawn and Grounds Maintenance has gone through many changes.
