Personally, I hope he finds someone to do it for that amount. He'll be getting what he paid for, no doubt. Thats about what I would charge just to move the furniture in and out of the rooms. HA HA

Man seems like Chicago is booming.

Does anyone have a basement or a shed I can stay in for a few weeks until I get up and running?

I am moving to Chicago baby

Re: Fantasy World...........


Are you a non smoker? Can you pass a background check? Good driving record and have your own car? Willing to be on call for nights and weekends and even pull an occasional overnighter?

Then this may be the job for you:

Dog Companion Wanted near Kealia Beach (Kapaa)

Reply to: job-uesm6-1058045743@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
Date: 2009-03-02, 10:01PM HST


I'm still looking for companion for my dog Sara. Please check for my response by email within a day or two of sending me an email. It might be in bulk mail.

Dog companion duties include taking Sara for walks/hikes/runs, attending training classes (Thursday nights in Kilauea), working on her training excises, washing her and picking up poop in yard and on walks. Occasional medication administration when needed.

Must be responsible and extremely reliable. I would prefer someone who can run with her for at least 1/2 mile (perferably more) and hike at a brisk pace. However, this seems to be harder to find than I had anticipated. If you can hike for an hour, that would work as well.
Must agree to and pass a background check and have a good driving record. Must have a car to take her to trail heads, beaches, vet appointments and training classes, etc.

This is a part-time job. Hours are mostly on the weekends mid-day, some weekdays, some evenings and mornings (7 a.m.), and on-call for nights on occassion (so I need someone who lives close by). Occasional overnight pet sitting (dog and cat) needed. Dog companion duties are paid on hourly rate. Pet sitting is paid on a nightly rate. Paid approximately every two weeks. Total monthly pay in 2008 was as follows: Dec $270, Nov $277, Oct $327, Aug $130, July $90, June $284 (average is $230 per month). Hours are dependent on my schedule which is usually heavier in the winter.

Sara prefers non-smokers; she does not like cigarette smoke or the smell on hands and clothes.

------------------------------------------------------------

FYI-Kealia beach to Kilauea=35 miles r/t.

Ya know, maybe we should all get together and slam these opportunist's with similar emails when we see them. They would have so much mail they might not be able to see the hacks mail. Just a thought.

Forget it.. There's so many of these postings all over the country every day... We'd never be able to keep up. The New York craigslist is ridiculous.. I view it everyday for a laugh....

Good idea, but it will never work. There's far too many of them on all the Craigslists, YouTube, DIY web sites....
