My spousal unit wants a new kitchen and thinks we can save a few dollars by tearing it down ourselves.
At my age (60) I have zero interest in being the demo guy so I want to hire someone to handle my share of that work and I'm sure she could care less who handles my end of the demo.
You'll need to be able to lift 75 pounds, handle a sledge hammer, carry cabinet parts, move appliances and drag flooring out to a dumpster which I'll put in the front driveway.
In addition to that you'll need to be able to take direction from my wife as the kitchen is her domain.
The kitchen is about 15 X 24 feet so there will be a fair amount of work.
Additionally, she has chosen a color for the living room and dining room areas. It only took her about 11 months to decide on that which could be considered a world record.
The LR is a decent size at about 20 X 30 feet and the dining room is around 15 X 15 feet so not real large.
We need that painted as well as replace the molding on the bottom and add crown molding to the entire area.
Again, that is my wife's domain so you would be following her orders and working to her specifications.
You'll need proper tools although I have a bunch here that you would be welcome to use should you need anything extra.
I'll pay you a fair wage, free food for the time you are working, access to the lake and my canoe, kayak and paddle boat, free tackle and use of all of our fishing gear and you are welcome to stay in our guest room + a reasonable hourly wage.
I'll even toss in free beer although I no longer drink so you'll be drinking alone should you choose that option.
Applicants must be willing to put up with 3 10 pound dogs that think that the entire universe revolves around them and should be prepared for hot and humid weather as well as be expected to provide top notch work as my wife deserves the best for putting up with the likes of me.
