What about a neighbor? Someone retired, in good shape, interested in helping another Villager?
All good points...
I recommended the HS or a church since OP asked for non contractors. But at this stage, maybe opening it up to a neighbor in ‘FL friendliest hometown’ is the way to go. Agree that it should be a flat rate for the ‘40 minutes’.
