We have an abrasive company near by and I heard they let you take a few boxes of the abrasive paper and place it together 5 per nest and maybe 20 per box. You have to just set them up by hand and when you return all the boxes they pay you. It's a little tough on he hands but check out companies near you to see if they have any assembly work you can do at home. It's worth a try. Good luck.

Hope all your days are Sunnydays.
