Seeking Work on the side,

I had a good job working in IT - Telecom Help Desk but I lost that job after losing my best friend, wife to be to Cancer some time ago. I look for work all the time and I have had a few Temp Jobs and odd jobs for people found through Temp companies, local churches and friends and although I did a good job for them it just ran out. I am honest and I like doing a good job and I will make anything right if its not satisfactory but I am just someone nobody knows and its not easy to build trust with people due to all the nuts out there. 

Here are some of the light things I have done.

1. Installed Ceiling Fans from Scratch - wire switch - one way and 3-way

2. Installed new electrical plugs and light switches and changed out old ones that look like crap!

3. Installed new lights inside and out like pouch or patio

4. Patch minor holes in the wall.

5. Minor PC upgrades, memory, drives, Wifi - Router setup

6. Cleaning and some Organizing with stuff like the Garage.

7. Car Cleaning

8. Moving Helper

9. Electrical Helper 

10. Minor Pluming and a decent Helper

11. Phone lines from Extended D-Mark

12. Cable TV wire run

13. Helping others like the elderly.

14. Decent minor Landscape work- Mowing, Edging, Trimming, Gutters

15. Minor House Cleaning

16. House and pet sitting

17. Love Pets - walking them, Vet visits etc.

Open for ideas but no good at NETWORK MARKETING, MLM ETC. I am not a salesman!
