Are there no Home Depot stores near you? If you drive by one you will
find a good supply of day laborers waiting for work. In the early
morning, they all seem to be hoping for a full day of work but after lunch,
they will accept a one or two-hour job. You can hire an army of movers
for a one-hour shop realignment. Four big guys can haul everything out,
sweep the area, and put it all back in not much time. Then you have room
for what you want. Around here, $20 per hour plus lunch is the going rate
for that kind of unskilled labor. So $200 gets a lot of heavy work done.
A few months ago I ordered 16,000 pounds of river rock and the delivery
truck could only get it to within 50 to 60 feet of where it was needed.
Heck if I was going to move that myself. I'm much younger than 80 but see
no reason to move stuff like that myself. Once you get used to hiring
these guys, big jobs like filing a stake bed truck with construction debris
by hand are easy, You just say "put all this stuff in the truck" and it's
done.
I live outside of a small town of about 1000 in rural Indiana. When I
first moved her in the 90's, each morning about 6:30am a bunch of guys
looking for day work would gather outside a small grocery store in
town. Contractors (many of them Amish) were always looking for help
and they would swing by with their vans and pickup labor as required.
This went on for years. Sometimes there would be 50 guys there looking
for work. One morning, the INS setup a sting and arrested a number of
illegals looking for work. That was the end of that. The work didn't
go away, the labor market just went underground. There are a lot of
cash businesses around here. Some have significant workforces.
