Have not read the WHOLE thread...74 pages is too long for my time frame...but I read the first 5 or 6, and the last few...and all I can see here is why I do all my own work. I cannot stand the begging and pleading and often rudeness in the market; and if you ignore all of them, there is no one left usually. I used to offer the 'whole enchalada'...all farms harvesting and plowing-all the money, and exp just for you...and had very few takers. Amazing, truly to me, because I LOVED those kinds of jobs. I got so tired of hiring people who worked for a few minutes and then were gone. I know that sometimes things happen, and you get booted or whatever...but after 2-3 trips to the market in one sitting...I realized that I could have had the whole thing done sooner than finding someone to hire over and over again. Once in awhile I hire out...but I would say, that around 70-80% are a disaster, but the other few are wonderful people!! There are hard workers out there...but they are hard to find, for me anyway.
