Are you checking classifieds and craigslist for odd jobs?

And you'd be surprised at the enormous response you'd get if you would stratigecally place some ads on bulletin boards at the store / mall / city hall and such.

Alot of people could use some inexpensive carpentry.
I actually had something lined up with a customer of ours to help re sheath and shingle her roof and re finish her basement. I really need to call her back about that, but she's pretty nuts and thinks she is going to be able to keep up with me lifting 3/4" plywood which is pretty unrealistic for a 40 year old women with absolutely no carpentry skills.

The major problem I have is that I only basic carpentry tools and I don't believe I'm experienced enough to do work for myself. It's not that I doubt my skills, but I've only worked under other guys who have done this for 40+ years, I don't know building codes and the "way things is". I'm not concerned of getting busted by the person I'm doing work for, but I refuse to do work improperly as long as I have a say in it. On top of that I don't have a Table saw, skill saw, sawzall, framing nailer, brad nailer, roofing nailer, miter saw, compresser, air hoses, apron, etc.Anyways sorry to get all bitchy about that I'm having a shit day again.

I have gained a lot of knowledge of moving huge shit in the most precarious of places. Nothing sucks more than carrying a 400 lb cast iron tub down a flight and a half of wooden, spiral stair cases. I could probably look for demo/moving odd jobs.

I never really thought of checking CL for anything besides used auto parts and hookers.
