Looking for someone to do yard work

Yeaterday I posted a help wanted post to our local community group page to help clean up my yard and prepare for spring. Received a message back from a local kid that he'd do it.

Got a call from a very concerned neighbor. "There's a young man in your backyard" lol! Gotta love my neighbors keeping an eye onbthe neighborhood. I wasn't expecting him to start today but that works.

Loving my community.

When I lived in Michigan I had about 10 years of dead leaves in my backyard, and the city rules were that all leaves had to be bagged in special bags or the town trash pickup wouldn't take them.

Two of the sweetest little boys came by and asked me if I wanted them to rake my leaves, and I was so thrilled! They were borderline almost too young to do the work, but I told them I would pay them an adult wage if they did a really good job, AND I bought them each a rake and some work gloves so they could work for others in the neighborhood.

There wasn't ONE leaf in my back yard when they were done! Best money I ever spent!

@Degbeme No...I had JUST bought the house. The leaves belonged to the guy upon whom the bank foreclosed! 🤣

Seriously though it is great that you have concerned and watchful neighbors (You are a Beautiful woman you know).

I would be more worried about your neighbors peeking into your backyard than the young man doing the clean up 😁

@ForestGnome Take advantage when you can. The better weather will be here soon with more opportunities.

@Teslin I spent Sunday at mom's, my yard helper said he could've done yard work but I told him he better be with his mom on mother's day.

@ForestGnome Smart choice.
Teach him young. It will save him trouble down the road 😉

That means you have some good neighbors and that young man is trying to get that money. Hard to find good workers

@Bklynbadboy12 Baseball season coming up and he's looking for some extra cash for gear.
Bklynbadboy12 · 36-40, M
@ForestGnome And he's willing to work for it that's admirable. If i wad there I'd pay for his gear
ForestGnome · 46-50, F
@Bklynbadboy12 I'd gladypay for it based on his work ethic. I'm impressed
