Need Phone Jacks, Shelving and Treadmill Moved

Rather than moving the phone jacks, it may be cheaper to buy a set of cordless phones. You can pick up cordless systems at Best Buy for under $100. Only one phone needs to be plugged into a phone jack. The others just need to have the chargers plugged into an electrical outlet. We have an older home with limited phone jacks, so we have a set by AT&T bought at Best Buy. It came with a base unit that has an answering machine, plugs into the phone jack, and also charges one phone. It also came with 3 additional chargers and 3 additional handsets. It works great! It's the newer 6.0 mHz system and doesn't interfere at all with our wireless network, which some of our other cordless phones used to do.

As for the other odd jobs, you can check to see if some of your neighbors, other moms, or people at church know someone who would do it. A talented HS or college student should be able to handle it or maybe a retired person.

Check with your local high school. Our Junction City HS requires kids to get community service hours and they may have a technology class that could help you with the wiring and shelving. As far as moving furniture, a couple of teens would be great for that, too. Junction City Nazarene Church offers many helps, too, if you are close by.

Dear B.
Hi! If you are attending a church ask some people
if they know how to do some of things you need done.
If you know of a couple of teenagers that could carry
the things to the basement for you.
I hope this helps B.

Ask older gentlemen from your church or call the local high school and see if they have students they recommend to move the items for you. I did that when we moved to Manhattan,the lady I was speaking to actually sent her two sons over to move my furniture in. They were football players so we were done in a short amount of time. It was great!

Good luck,
D.

I have a son who can use some work and he is real good and very resonable ###-###-#### is his number. He is 36 and laid off from Welding and has been doing some odd jobs for family and friends. He is the father of an 11year old girl. Very trustworthy.

Check some of the teens in your neighborhood, they may be able to help with the moving part. Good luck and God Bless.

Do you belong to a church ?
You might be surprised at the response you get if you mention what you need to the youth director or college age director.

Hi B.,
My husband is a marketing professional but does handyman services during evenings and weekends. He is insured and certified and has excellent references. He charges $35.00 an hour and does quality work without taking up your whole day! From what you have listed, it sounds like this job may take a couple hours, but he could give you a free estimate. The business name is jrbhomeimprovement and we are located in western Shawnee. Feel free to contact him at ###-###-#### or ###-###-####. Please visit our website at www.jrbhomeimprovement.com for more information.

B.,
My BIL and husband do jobs like you need on the side, they both used to build houses. Let me know if you would like his number.

I am shamelessly doing a bit of self promotion here, but perhaps I can help you. My husband owns his own handyman business and would be happy to give you a free quote. His prices are always well below those of the other handymen in town, as it is just him working by himself and with a new little one around the house we need all the work he can get. I don't really have any idea how much he would charge you, but I do know he is affordable. His business is Right On Renovations, which is licensed, and his phone number is ###-###-####. If you are interested you can call him or just respond to me with your info and I can have him call you.

Hi B....
My brother just recently got laid off from his landscaping job and he can do things like that. His name is Matt O'Brien and he is 21 years old. He lives out in Warrenton with my parents but drives into St. Charles to my house often. His number is ###-###-####. I asked him last night if I could give you his name and number. When/If you call, just mention that you got his name from me(J.) off Mamasource. Then he will remember. Good luck!

My husband is between jobs right now and needs something to do! Last week he did some electrical work for our neighbors and he really enjoyed doing it. He has worked with many phone jacks/lines through his line of work (IT) and is very handy overall. He can give you a cheap estimate once he hears a little more about the job. If you are interested please send me an email and my husband can call you.
