HandymanOdd Jobs only 10hr thru January Honest reliable drug-fre

Take advantage of my NEW YEAR S SPECIAL Yes only 10 per hour through January 2016 I DO NOT HAVE A TRUCK only a small car. (NOTE Misspellings were deliberate to avoid searches for work I DON T do.) I do NOT work in or north of Seattle or farther north on I-5 than the airport TO BE MORE CLEAR PLEASE read main image OR very bottom of this ad for exact hourly rates. Sorry I do NOT bid by the job Sometimes Handyman for hire call ---X is not enough to convince a home or business owner to hire someone so if you ll please take the time to read this mini-novel you will be glad you did. Thank you I m 57 years old honest dependable hard-working clean cut NOT a druggie or a drunk. I have a valid driver s license and a clean reliable insured CAR (I do NOT own a truck). I have most basic hand tools for the work I do but can often borrow certain specialty tools I don t have. I ll show up when I say I will (or call if I m running late) and work until the job is done. If I don t think I can do a job I ll let you know. I won t pretend I m an expert at everything. I ve done rental move-out & foreclosure clean-ups and minor repairs since back in the early 80 s. ALL people I have done odd jobs for said they ll use me again in the future and I get a LOT of repeat calls. Everyone who hires me for odd jobs appreciate my friendliness attitude honesty and sense of humor. I can provide literally hundreds of refs from people who I ve done odd jobs for as well as character refs I ve driven up to 26-foot box trucks for employers in delivery jobs so if you need to rent a truck I can drive it. I work great without supervision If you leave for errands I don t stop working or take a bunch of breaks You can feel safe and comfortable leaving me alone in your home If you need to leave for any reason you can rest assured I will NOT rip you off or snoop through your stuff Honesty is my 1 priority and I m even willing to submit to a background check before I enter your home But it would be easier and cheaper just to call some of the many people who have trusted me and been 101% happy with my honesty and integrity I work any day of the week including holidays for the same hourly rate (Usually 9 00 AM to 6 00 PM but later if needed). I do work weekends during winter months but NOT during drag race season (March through September.A COUPLE NOTES to keep in mind I m the on-call maintenance man for a local apartment complex so there IF there is an emergency I might need to leave for a bit but will come back as soon as I can and finish where I left off. I can usually schedule you same-day but not always. I can pretty booked up sometimes so it s best to not hesitate to call now. My schedule changes FAST at these rates I M ONLY A HANDYMAN doing odd jobs NOT A CONTRACTOR doing major work so I don t charge nearly as much as some people do. Sure I could charge more and most people I agree that my work is worth much more (many even pay me more than I ask for) but I m not greedy and I want to be fair and affordable. Don t let my low rates make you think my work is low quality Ask someone I ve done work for and you will find I do great work at a very fair price And I m always more than happy to e-mail you TONS of recent local reference contacts of people I have done work for NEW YEAR S SPECIAL ONLY 10 AN HOUR THROUGH JANUARY (On February 1st my normal rates come back but those are still far less than most handymen charge Myself I only charge 15.00 an hour if 20 miles or less from Tacoma Mall ( 20 charge for one hour 15 per hour for two hours or more) and I ask for TWO HOURS MINIMUM if more than 20 miles from Tacoma Mall which is more than fair for odd jobs and handyman work since minimum wage is creeping up on the 10 mark and is already 15 in many areas. MINIMUM CHARGE of 20 even if it s only 10 minutes of work up to 1 hour then only 15.00 an hour after that (2-hour minimum in King County). (2 minutes to 1 hour 20 2 hours 30 3 hours 45 4 hours 60 etc.). So if I just change a light bulb it s 20. If I work a half hour it s 20. 2-hour minimum in King County (north of Auburn) and I won t drive to King County for less than 30 so even if I simply replace a light switch of toilet flusher it s going to be at least 30. This is because of the hours I have to fight traffic for hours get lost burn up gas or just not make the trip worth doing. Some people have said all this is confusing so here is a better idea 20 minimum ( 30 in King County) whether it takes 5 minutes or up to 1 hour. Add 6.00 for bridge toll if I have to cross the Narrows.CASH ONLY preferred at the end of each day to start. (NO CHECKS until I ve worked for you a couple times and get to know you ). IF by chance you live out of state or several counties away but have a way I can get inside at a local home or business we can possibly arrange payment through a bank transfer OR by you going to US Bank and depositing funds into my checking account (but NOT if you live locally). Sorry I am NOT able to accept PayPal payments. Far too much of a hassle and it doesn t put gas in my car or food on my table. I m sure you understand.
