POSTPONED -- Manual labor, help mixing concrete at $8/hr
EDIT: Read last post for updates. How does this upcoming MONDAY work for those interested?
--------
POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER
Sorry guys, we are gonna have to try again later on. The ground is not drying out at all here with this humidity. The auger won't drill well in wet clay. Current plan is to make a decision on Saturday morning if Sunday will be better. Otherwise, might have to delay much further because of rain expected later next week. Arrrgh!
--------
Okay, my doctor is getting on my back about my back. Need some help mixing some 60# bags of Quickrete and dumping them into holes I'll drill with a hydraulic auger for fence posts this week.
Let me know your availability during the day. Would like to try for a Wednesday morning start, as it will be about 83 degrees for a high that day with the current weather report.
Since it's a bit more work than a "pizza and beer" rate, does $8/hr sound good (plus the lunchtime pizza and beer) ? If you're staring at a map, I'm located 1 mile south of I-295, 2 miles west of I-95, 1 mile north of Parham Rd off Woodman Rd. Very easy to get here.

Have 4 compressed discs and literally one accident away from being wheelchair bound. If you've ever seen my place, you'd know that I *still* do all of the manual labor myself -- installing irrigation systems, 1.5 tons of rock for a driveway extension (1500 sq ft was not enough), 22 gallons of interior paint, over a mile of in-wall custom wiring, and soon finishing off a 3rd floor game room with HVAC, insulation, and drywall (with the help of my little brothers).... just asking for a bit of assistance with a big job. There is over 2000# of cement in my garage. That's a bit much for me to do by myself in a day and thought I could help out someone with some side money, which is just over $10/hr if you were getting taxed.
