Do they exist anymore? I cannot find them.
Used to be I could find several depending on what
I needed help doing.
I'm outta touch or younger guys don't need money
it seems.
I'll stop my whining, for now lol,

Got a neighbor here that runs grain cart for me during harvest. He was a licensed electrician and certified welder in the past. He calls himself the jack of all trades, master of some. He's always willing to help with anything and can do pretty much anything. Biggest problem is he turns 68 next week and won't be around forever.

Haven't thought of that for a while. I would guess it depends on what you need done.
There's a guy near me who will come to you and help you do the work but doesn't do much work on his own. He's an older guy willing to share his knowledge and experience.

Man I must be lucky I'm surrounded by them. But I have incredible neighbors and friends and they have friends. Some have incredible half grown kids to boot.

Nobody around here, with construction skills, wants to do small jobs. They all want to get in on the high dollar house building going on. If it's not $500,000, they don't want to fool with it.

We have them here, like hiring an electrician, 100 plus an hour. I do most everything myself.

I would be nice to have some of that work. I'm a jack of all trades built a number of homes being as the general contractor to everything in between. Farming and ranching to electrical and water construction but not much call for a handyman around here.

Pennsylvania made some licensing changes in the last few years that keeps many people out of the handyman business. It used to be a good gig doing odd jobs for people but now you need to be licensed and bonded.

It is hard to get anybody to do any physical labor work anymore. Good luck.

that sounds like your looking for a smaller roofing outfit

I got a guy down the road a bit who is a small roofing contractor I usually see him working by himself , I see his dump trailer in front of his house

the hard part is if they do good work they hardly have to do any advertising at all just word of mouth so finding them is harder now that the internet killed the yellow pages.

Our government likes to find ways to make money off of
the local taxpayers work /knowledge and effort By requiring a license, permit certification etc they can charge both the person requesting the work and the person preforming the work a fee . All the while they have not did anything but collect their fee . So what is happening is you the person that is willing and able to do the job is getting penalized fo being motivated to make money
