I just need a few hours work out of someone this evening. Not a messy job, simply spraying roughly 2'x2' areas with a squirt bottle, let saturate for ~ 1 min. and scrape off with a putty knife.

$10 / hr

or

$8 / hr with beers furnished throughout the work period

I've already done a little bit of it; the key is the spray bottle, it comes right off with no dust. The popcorn is old but if you saturate it, it scrapes off smooth as butter....If it has been painted (which mine has not) it becomes a real pain in the ass. Not a small putty knife, one with an 8" blade....a bit tedious but not difficult in the least

i never understood why that popcorn shit was so popular. it looks tacky as hell and is a bitch to get clean without getting shit all over the floor

covers up joints, tape, and other imperfections is the ceiling drywall job

I might be interested. What time you trying to start?

7/9/2008 11:34:19 AM

I work until around 5, so probably 5:30 or 6:00

bttt

The offer has been revised to include the beers with the $10 / hr

Don't be taken aback by baonest's input....It's really a piece of cake, and you can work as little or as much (to a certain extent) as you want. Just to clarify, it is completely dust free with the spray technique. Drink a few beers, listen to some music, and do some light work for a few bucks.

get your lazy ass tenants to help

^hah if it were only that easy

The initial phase was taken care of last night but this may be an ongoing project, as I will likely scrape the entire place eventually.
