My GF just graduated and moved home, and I need extra money so I can move back with her when I graduate. (Its across the world, so its expensive.) I'll do lawnwork or handman stuff for $25hr, and you provide tools/equiptment.

No time to pull weeds?
No time to mow grass?
Need to paint your house?
Need floors cleaned?
New electronics need wired up?
Need help moving in?

I'll do it.
Im free on the weekend and most evenings. PM to schedule something. Thanks a ton!!

good lawd that's a lot of money

8/15/2010 2:35:00 PM

Hey man, plane ticket to australia is $2500 lol

8/15/2010 2:35:33 PM

That's approaching extortion.

8/15/2010 2:48:37 PM

You can get 3 Mexicans, with their own tools, for that much.

8/15/2010 3:02:17 PM

$25/hour? Good grief - that's what I bill, and that includes my expensive equipment, gas, transportation, etc

$25/hour you bring yourself, your buddies, and your own equipment on your own truck and trailer.

I'd like to help, but these prices is cra cra.

8/15/2010 3:17:11 PM

thats fucking outragous

8/15/2010 3:24:02 PM

I charge $25 an hour for tutoring (and I bring books and prepare problems, etc); you are never going to get that for yard work.

8/15/2010 3:32:31 PM

Hey, you can't fault this kid for making a good attempt at entrepreneurialism...

That said, kid...do you swallow?

8/15/2010 3:32:46 PM

I'll pay you $5 to shut the hell up.

8/15/2010 3:37:25 PM

ha $25/hr.


I believe $10/hr is the going rate

8/15/2010 3:38:12 PM

son, she is taking a load right now from some aussie she met in the pub.

8/15/2010 4:19:31 PM

...and she's charging <$25/hr to do so.

come on over now and mow my grass sir. lawn mower is in the garage.

8/15/2010 4:52:54 PM

when i was mowing lawns i charged $30/hr and had regular business

8/15/2010 7:14:03 PM

this thread is awesome.

8/15/2010 7:33:27 PM

I'll do it for $24/hr...

8/15/2010 7:36:21 PM

If she moved home without consulting you, why are you moving out there? People don't typically move across the world unless they are married. Even then it's a hard sell.

Time to find a new girlfriend closer to home.

8/15/2010 9:06:55 PM

I will do it for $20 an hour

8/15/2010 9:11:28 PM

people generally pay 10-15/hour for this type of work

8/15/2010 9:20:08 PM

i generally charged $10-15/hr for this type of stuff

more power to you if you can swing it, bud

8/15/2010 9:57:13 PM

i want to do one of those Jackass-type videos where i dig a big fucking hole in my backyard and cover it up with sticks and leaves, then dude falls into the aforementioned hole

i need 25 people to chip in a buck

8/15/2010 11:39:22 PM

geez youre going to move to australia for a girlfriend? Id have a hard time doing that for a fiance or wife.

8/16/2010 12:32:05 AM

Yeah, plus Aussies may be crazy in bed, but they are also just fucking crazy in general. Find somebody from the land of the free and the home of the brave.

8/16/2010 8:13:47 AM

She must really like you to just up and move back home.

8/16/2010 9:17:33 AM

bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks

8/16/2010 9:19:58 AM

hell of a deal.

Pretty sure you should just find a new chick. Don't do something stupid for a girl that isn't your wife and the mother of your kids.

8/16/2010 12:11:06 PM

aside from the $25/hr.....sounds like an awesome girlfriend. NOT. why didnt she just wait for you to graduate?? this sounds like a disappointment waiting to happen.

haha, thanks guys, but she is a keeper, and had to go back for a year due to visas. However, she is coming back in november, and then going to grad school soon after.. so its my turn to visit basically.

8/16/2010 6:02:38 PM

good luck to you, OP. Long distance relationships suck ass.

hahaha, people are still doing that NOT thing?

8/16/2010 6:30:23 PM

Well, people did stop using it for a while. NOT.

8/16/2010 7:04:08 PM

Shit, you get to visit Australia and you got some tail waiting for you too??

I commend the man!

8/16/2010 7:17:08 PM

^^ people might not be. but apparently i still am. figured if i didn't add the "not" part, some idiots might not pick up my sarcasm.

8/16/2010 7:18:40 PM

And actually you youngster, (^^^^) long distance relationships rule. I have one. Get together every two to three weeks for the weekend and tear it up. Trust me....absence makes something grow fonder! It's like a vacation. No bullshit to listen to during the week, can get off the phone when needed and can still hang out with friends while the Kitty is away. Wise up. It doesn't suck....unless you're ready to get married or something.....

I'm sure you meant young'n.

i support your desire to make some cash monies and visit your girlfriend, but $25/hour is more an off-the-books rate for those with technical knowledge and experience (and even then...)

manual labor is much cheaper

8/17/2010 9:24:26 AM

I dunno. For as much as I detest mowing my yard, I'd pay $25 for this guy to do it.

until you find out they are having a short distance relationship at the same time
