I am renovating my master bedroom into a separate unit to put on Airbnb.
I'm looking for a solid individual with full time carpentry experience. Full time as in you've worked full time for a good sized company recently.
I need someone to show up in the morning at the same time every day, and put in a full 8 hours. If you will be constantly looking around on Craigslist for something that pays slightly more for the day, you will not work out here. I'll immediately find someone else.
I will be on a time crunch and need to have everything done within 3 weeks. No excuse making crybabies or junkies (all you junkies are cry babies).
I have all the power tools needed.
You will be doing the following:
You MUST have advanced knowledge/experience in the trades marked with a in front, no learn as you go bullshit.
All of this work is expected to look professional and clean.
Framing/Building a small deck and canopy
Laying paving stones for walkway
Drywall (must be efficient at mudding/finishing/tying into existing popcorn ceiling)
Painting
Plumbing (Particularly tying a kitchen sink drain pipe into an existing drain system)
Running heat tape around plumbing under the house (This is pretty crappy work - The crawl space sucks)
Hanging Cabinets
Electrical - Connecting a few new lines to existing Breaker box (I can hire someone else to do this if you are afraid of electric).
Flooring - 3/4 hardwood (I have a flooring nail gun), Tile, and Vinyl.
Vinyl Siding
Roofing
Lifting/Helping me lift doors, appliances, cabinets
General labor (Cleaning, hauling stuff to the dumps, etc)
I know how to do all this stuff myself with the exception of the plumbing, tile, and drywall finishing, so I can guide you in most other scenarios.
I will be starting work first week of April.
Copy and paste the following in the email, and fill it the blanks with one of the following:
Beginner: (Just starting to learn, requiring close supervision and guidance.)
Intermediate: (Knows the basics and can perform tasks with some guidance.)
Advanced: (Has a strong grasp of the skill and can work independently.)
Expert: (Demonstrates full mastery and can teach or guide others.)
Note: Just because you are not advanced/expert in something doesn't mean I wont hire you (I will fire you if I find you to be full of shit though). I may teach you to do it, or hire someone else to do just that one thing while I have you doing other shit.
I'd rather hire someone else for a day, or teach you how to do something than pay you to do some shoddy ass work.
Framing level:

Example: Mine would look like this:

If doing all of this is too tedious, keep it moving. I need to know exactly what I'm dealing with prior to hiring.
Also, let me know if you have any kind of conditions that would affect your ability to work.
Examples:
"I'm allergic to insulation."
"I'm afraid of heights."
"I'm a fat, and I cant get into tight crawl spaces or climb ladders."
"I cannot lift things that are heavy due to me being a pussy"
"My wife, kids, and pets have constant medical emergencies causing me to be unreliable."
"My car is a piece of shit that will break down on a regular basis, which I will promptly explain to you 4 hours after not showing up, and not answering your calls."
"I cannot afford gas to get to the job."
"I need to be paid at the end of each day because of some bizarre "jam" I'm in which had nothing to do with my poor life choices."
"I cannot show up the day after being paid due to getting high all night."
etc
May the odds be ever in your favor.
