Wanted: reliable, honest, hardworking guy for a strip out

hello,


I'm looking for someone to spend a day doing some pretty basic stripping out tasks one day next week - removing tiles, skirting board, doors, carpets. Steaming off wallpaper. Bagging up waste. ?80 cash 9-6. More work will be available for someone who works hard and is pleasant to be around. Additional general building skills would be an advantage.


Please send me an IM if interested.

Thank you all for your helpful comments. It's these kinds of attitudes that stop people getting on the bottom rung and working their way up. It's also the sort of sourness that stops so many people using this forum.


For an easy job that takes NO SKILL whatsoever, the minimum london wage is absolutely appropriate. Apologies for forgetting to mention a lunch hour. Thank you for assuming that means the worst.


In addition Dulwichfox, I am a fairly weedy woman and would be able to do the job myself in a day. Perhaps you could keep in mind that I have seen what is required, you haven't.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
