We seek someone fit with general skills to do small repairs, painting, garden maintenance, putting out and bringing in garbage cans. It could be someone just to do the gardening if they are knowledgeable about herbaceous perennials etc There is a relative of the trustees resident in one of the buildings who can assist you when needed. $25 an hour unless you are a really fine carpenter, amateur electrician and plumber - that would be great then more if we do not have to call them. Our last man often tried to fix things which normally required a plumber or electrician, and if he did, we gave him half of what the professional would have charged as a bonus. We want someone who can come daily or almost daily.
