general labor for demo/cleanup

[Jonathan Thrasher]

I just bought my first house to flip last month and have since done quite a bit of the demo work myself but I'm looking to hire a one or two people to finish some of the demo and haul the crap to the dumpster.  Do I just look for someone on Craigslist?  What about liabilities?  Do I have them sign a waver of some sort?   If anyone in the Grand Rapids, MI area has some referrals for good workers, please contact me and let me know.  Thanks!

Jonathan,  Congratulations on your first purchase!!!!  I can recommend a few demo guys but I can vouch for their background etc.  When I trash out a project I look for those guys driving a truck with plywood sides built 10ft up spray painted with the words "trash pickup"  Or "free appliance pickup"  usually you can negotiate a great deal with those guys =)
