    So basically I need a temp job til ski season (and real job) starts up again. I figured lots of people here have dumb chores around the house that just keep getting put off.

    For the princely wage of $10/hour, ill come do whatever miserable task you keep finding ways to avoid.

    I can do minor car things too!

    Hit me up and we can discuss the gravity of your task.

    A sink is something i've never done before sadly. Is it just a remove/replace type thing?

    this thread is awesome. I'm looking for a job in the ski/snowboard industry. It sounds like that's what you do as a "real" job maybe you could point me in the right direction if you know of anything and I'll return the favor

    My "real" job is just as a ski photographer, but I know that pretty much all the resorts are looking for new hires for the upcoming ski season.

    What needs to be done to the headliner? Complete re-covering, or just remove/replace? The drains arent bad at all, minutes.

    Hey man I have a '84 GTi that I NEED to get on the road. I have to swap the head and replace the fuel pump. The worst part is the wiring behind the dash is a mess. Is this something your willing to help on? I live in North Salt Lake.

    Sorry I haven't gotten back to you! I can come do the head and fuel pump for sure, and I can take a look at the wiring too.

    that's easy stuff to do. (i've owned many hondas). if clark doesn't want to(or wants my help), i could do it, but i'm up in ogden & i'm limited on time.
