Seems to be a shortage of handymen in MO, you arent the first iv’e talked to
in the same boat. I am in IL and do that type of work up here…Mayby I
should expand : )
If you had a large project or a total rehab or something large to make a
trip worthwhile, might be willing to come down…Email me if I can help.

Handymen in Iraq? - Posted by Philip
Posted by Philip on September 22, 2003 at 23:20:55:
I cant find any skirters/sealers/painters/plumbers/carpenters etc! And I have paid fast. Hand delivered the checks on day of completion!
This is really getting me mad! I have called at least 4 that were referred to me! What is the deal? Should I call the prison and try to find convict labor?
mh parts store even gave me a reference…I called…the person never returned my call! Arrrggghhhh!!!
Handymen have been abducted to another country…Oh! I know! It is an Islamic plot! (New subsitute for Communist plot…which just brings blank stares from my kids!)Better yet…they are rebuilding IraQ and are employees of the US government!

Someone told me a lot of building materials were being shipped to Iraq and that had to do with the price of materials going up. I looked at 7/16" OSB at Lowes yesterday and it was almost 2x as much as I paid when building a garage back in Jan/Feb of this year. If that’s not the case, why have sheeting materials almost doubled in 8 months?

Sorry, I took all of them. I’ll put them back tomorrow. 
You might try typing up some flyers and then go to several local fire departments and ask the one in charge (sometimes a dispatcher) if you can post your
flyer for the firemen to see.
Make your flyer attractive in word content. It must get their attention right away.

Firemen need something to do on their four days off?
