Help needed this weekend
I am looking for one or two people to help me with some spring cleaning this weekend. It’s mostly carrying stuff up from the basement and moving things from one room to another, so you’d need to be comfortable with carrying heavy-ish things up and down stairs. I live 1.5 miles from campus and I can provide transportation to/from campus if needed. I prefer to start in the morning on Saturday, but could be flexible. Depending on what gets done on Saturday, I may need help on Sunday too. $20 per hour. FYI in case you’re allergic, we have two cats. Let me know if you’re interested!
