I've had good ones and some who start out good and then wind up slacking off. I too usually leave little "tests" to see if they are really paying attention. I would think for what they charge (most are making $20 an hour) they would be top of the line. Unfortunately, the word is out that The Villages is Ripe territory, so they ask for a lot of money and think we're so old we won't notice when they don't go a good job. I usually only hire one person. I find it hard to keep track of three or four people wandering around my house! I'm not comfortable with that!
