Reporting back to say that the job got done with help from one strong woman and a strong man. Charles and Monica came in the spirit of giving and service to others. They were champs and I greatly appreciate their assistance. Thank you!
Fortunately, we were able to use wheeled dollies to move most everything next door, but it was still real work that I couldn't have done alone. Now I can move forward to remodel the bedroom with drywall and new carpet.
So many of us living in the mountains are seniors including this Boomer. (If you're not there yet, you will be). We can't do all that we used to do and sometimes need help. The median age of Jamestown address residents is 47 years. Kids skew the numbers.
Allenspark, Raymond and Riverside median age might be closer to 67 years. ;>)
There's a real opportunity for someone to build a business doing this locally, things like snowplowing, maintenance and other services. Reliability and affordability are key.
Like many men living in the mountains I provided these services years ago. Commercial snowplowing, building, remodeling, painting and water system plumbing. It was fun and rewarding and I got to know so many good people. Mountain people.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks also to RobertH. Coffee and peppermint layer cookies were waiting....next time!
