Dirt-cheap day labor - The Basics

[Ban Hammer 14,271]

You guys must have nice jobs if you have so much spare time to do work around the house.

I have a lot of work I need to get done and very little time to do it. Hiring someone is pretty much my only option. Especially given that with my level of skills I'd need 2-3 times as much time as a skilled professional to get it right.

As for my original point - when you've made the decision to hire someone, to rule out a source of cheap labor is stupid.

yet i have to consider this - just because that source of labor is cheap that does not mean they are qualified to do the work. sure, some of the illegals could wire a house for electricity, but as to whether it's done to code and is done correctly is another matter. any house repairs i'd strongly caution against having someone do that is not a professional as you could wind up with one heck of a disaster later on.

and btw, i work 40 hours a week usually, sometimes up to 91 hours a week.

So pay the fair price for it instead of financially benefitting from exploitation
