Update in OP- Jay Ramirez came through. Pool is now up and ground is level.

If SHTF the value of the dollar will have been lost.

If SHTF I'd rather go out enjoying my new above ground pool. Screw the $200

Exactly. Its just green paper then. Doesnt even burn good lol

Lol yes, if I was still able to, I'd be all over a job like this. $20-25 cash/hour for some good hard work? Absolutely. Especially in a market with record unemployment.

You made it sound like way more work than it really is. Plus asking someone to go get the material and load/unload is a bit much for $200. But if you have the sand onsite, pouring and tamping, and getting rid of the dirt is not too much to ask for a day’s work IMO. The pool assembly depends on time it takes. If it sets up in an hour, that’s reasonable enough.

There are some folks out of work who build exhibits in the Congress Center for trade shows. This would be right up their alley. Is the job complete yet?

I dunno, the one I married isn't so bad...

I think he meant pool upkeep is the misery, not the Mexican. Haha

When I was 16 years old I would have jumped on this. $200 was a lot of money in 1972.

In 1972, I was making $600/month, before taxes.

I think I'm seeing the problem here...
I'm offering up a job to guys who shop at Publix, when I need to be offering up the job to guys who shop at Kroger.

There are people that will take this job, may have to advertise on another medium. Had some heavy work done a few weeks ago for $10/hour by some honest smart guys - Sharp, strong, and spoke 3 languishes! They are around.
