I'm an unemployed middle-aged office worker and I'm a bit frustrated by well meaning mostly older people eager to offer me "jobs" cutting their lawns or getting up leaves as soon as they hear I'm out of work. Problem is most of these people still think $5 an hour is good money and that they are doing me a favor offering me the job.
Alright I need some money but I don't like cutting grass. I'm sure I'll be told I can use their equipment but I will not as for some reason every time I use other peoples stuff I find it broken, or worse about to break and completely unsuitable for doing the job quickly and effectively.
This lady's husband busted his knee recently. They are neighbors of my parents and from that they know I'm unemployed.

The cleared area is about 1.38 acres. I'm in the Greensboro, NC area. Not being in this business I don't know myself what to charge.
Lastly this couple has a reputation of being problem people in the neighborhood--unable to get along with a lot of the neighbors and unwilling to step up to their share of neighborhood projects. I have to wonder if they'll be hard to please.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
