I am planning to lay the foundation for a house soon and am looking for help with the concrete work. Specifically, I am looking for 1 more person with quality experience and proven skill to assist with the entire process. I will be involved in both labor and finish work and am looking for somebody with the flexibility to work in this unique situation. If interested please contact me with specifics about the project. Must have your own tools.

Send him 2 bids- one with his "help", and the other without.

He wants you to contact him with "the specifics" of his project

Ok, the question is what did you bid?

TempestV

I'm not sending in a bid, but if I did, it would be an honest straight forward bid if he isn't helping, and add a 100% PITA factor if he is.

Actually, I wouldn't automatically rule this guy out without a meet & greet--assuming your operation isn't too big to consider such a deal. He could well be quite experienced and capable; just in need of good help.

I have a retired customer who I first met when doing a full basement finish for him. Turned out that among other things, he spent ~12 years building decks for side work, and is a pretty accomplished cabinet maker. I've built two decks for him (one for his son) with him as my helper, and he's the best cut man I ever had.

You never know...

I agree. He is looking for skilled help for a project too big to do alone. He is not looking for a contracting company, rather he is looking for a concrete finisher to assist him. Nothing wrong with that unless it turns out that he has neither his own tools or a clue, but you can't tell that from the ad.

Haha Tempest, Do you know Logan that does CS's concrete work? H e told me he is starting a craigslist job in like a week. Bet thats it.

TempestV

I'm not familiar with Logan, but then I haven't had much to do with CS either. Good luck to him though.

This guy would be great to work for, sign a contract to work under the table. Is that legal?

I am looking for a skilled and reliable handyman for multiple projects around my house. Skills must include finish carpentry,fencing,tile work and general labor. I am sick and tired of unreliable and flakey contractors/handymen. You will be expected to sign a work contract and stick to deadlines and finish dates. If this is a problem please do not apply. Must have clean background. Looking for someone that wants cash under the table for this side work, Im not interested in paying $200 an hour for a contracting company.

I need someone to work around my yard for a day. I have ten yards of gravel to shovel and wheelbarrow about 150'. That should take about 2 hours. After that, one of the wings on my house needs to be re-roofed. It is only about 20' x 30'. By the time that is done, it should be about perfect for you to prepare me a delicious lunch. After I eat my lunch, I would like you to pleasure me.

When I am done, back to work you go! I have four large fir trees that I would like taken down, and cut and chopped into fire wood. I have a hatchet for you to use to turn the branches into mulch. After that, you can go home.

I am sick and tired of people charging me too much, and doing too little. Minimum wage is $3.35, so I will pay you $35.00 for the day, assuming you get it all done. We will figure out what you owe me for anything that doesn't get done.

I need an experienced climber with gear to repel off of a roof and apply a bead of caulk to a window frame. The window is on the third floor and the roof is a flat.

1 hour pays $50.
