Put Wheels On It


Here is a Fresh Eyes Idea - What would happen if you put wheels on it?

Years ago I was in the boat building business and one of our vendors (William F. Miller & Associates) had a rolling trade show called the Gypsy Jamboree

The reason they started this was due to a big recession in the boat industry years back when no one would travel to the big trade show. If the folks won't come to your show, take your show to them. It was such a big success that they continued it during the boom years.

I liked this idea so much, I created this company, PolyClean.

Fresh Eyes Idea - If you were a developer of a brand new neighborhood, what if you built a big temporary factory in the middle of the development using a large tent. Inside the tent factory you built all the homes in a controlled environment.

No delays for rain, comfortable for the workers, no theft, organized like a factory, productive and efficient. Homes on an assembly line. When the house was done, it would be wheeled out (on a big trailer contraption) onto the lot it was designed for and installed in less than a day.

When the neighborhood was built out and completed, you take down the tent factory and convert the space to a beautiful park.

What could you put on wheels?
