I really don't know what you are asking. As stated, finding people to
to do what you would call a side job is hard. Most people are looking
for long term employment with benifits.

Yep. So you have to pay the rates, or get the latinos.


One gent accepted the job of welding the outside seams on the steel
plates. A few days after he was to start, he called and decided it was
too much work for him. (he only works one day a week at his regular
job) So I did it myself.

I can see that would be irritating. But maybe he realised he was not
getting enough out of it. Maybe not.

As far as "hmm...would _you_ work on somebody else's dream for what you
paid those guys?" $15per hour x 3 people x 8 hours a day works out to a
nice weekend job. If I could help someone out at the same rete, you bet
I would. His dream or not is not the question. Finding workers is.

Work for $15 per hour was what I meant. Not times 3 guys.

The dream is at issue. There is a lot of difference between working on
something you believe on and something you have tyo do for the money.

These guys are not there "to help you out". They are not your pals,
and nor are they charitable institutiuons.

Finding workers is usually possible if you pay enough. Before you
complain about what people want, think about whether you would work
for the same pay, on a job you were not interested in beyond the
money.
