Worker Wanted
« on: October 11, 2012, 09:25:45 am »
I'm in need of a person to help us with our winter preparation, after having a 4 month lay off with my shattered ankle we are very behind and struggling to catch up. Probably about two or three days work total .
We can offer a bed and all meals plus some cash in exchange for some musclepower.
Mid Wales , Hereford /Shropshire Powys border.  Doug 01547 550670 .

How soon do you need the help?   I may be able to help after next week.

Thank you kind folk , but , this will be 2/3 days hard graft , and needs a good strong, fit young , student type in need of cash that knows how to push a wheelbarrow through deep mud.  :innocent:

Try the Help Exchange - HelpX.  They will probably have someone available promptly, or even two people as they often travel together.  Then once they've done the work they can stay on for a couple of days to enjoy your hospitality, without money needing to change hands.   It didn't work for us, I think because we had them for a whole month at a time, with no break in between.  But for just a few days or a week it would be ideal.  I'll see if I can find the actual URL
 
Here we are:  www.helpx.net   It's free to do, just register as a host, post your profile and what you want doing then sit back and wait.

I'll even help bath you,
 :innocent:
 
But this job will call for some serious muscle power upwards of 150 barrows of heavy stuff to be moved through deep mud , believe me , you will need several baths afterwards ....and probably an osteopath.
 
Thanks Fleecewify , I'll have a look at that website , probably find a strapping gert wench or two , they might be in need of a bath......

Whoever is able to help Doug and Gabi will (if they so wish) receive a free mini hamper of Its Baaath Time goodies so that they can enjoy said bath  ;)  Wish I could help Doug but am kind of stuck with 4 kids and too many animals - hope you get some help soon  :)

But alas, we can't both be away at the same time due to the animals ;)
I really am very handy with a barrow though and am very good at mud wrestling :-J

Colliewoman- if you think you want to struggle with the wheelbarrow, we would be more then grateful but we do not want you to get hurt. I just cannot do it, well i can but only about 2-3 forkfulls of muck in the barrow and then it takes me forever to push and pull the barrow through the mud, all this rain did not help.
Usually I fill the barrows and Doug empties them but he just cannot do it, his foot looks like a balloon even without pushing barrows.
