Everyone assumed that he was "Helper" for the older guy when, in fact, the old guy was his gopher.  

Turns out their relocation helper did not know they had already applied.

The numbers have to make sense, unless you want to live their the rest of your life and just have a mortgage helper living next door.

I estimate a week, maybe a week and a half with my master carpenter and a helper or two and probably only a few thousand in dimensional lumber.I could speed that up if I put a full framing crew on the project, but so much of what needs to be done is surgical that I'm afraid that speed would do more hurt than good.We're already working on our fixture takeoff (A lot of what we use in these houses, we special order).The electrician should have a temporary power pole up and running by Wednesday, so hopefully we'll have full power Wednesday or Thursday.

He does work on the side and has his brother and side helper to get things done.

I pay thousands out to some of my helpers and doing it through my online banking enables me to simply pull up their history at the end of the year.

I made the same amount of money just keeping a helper and picking my hammer back up and maintaining a good reputation and that's still where I am today.  

Knowledge wise it was a huge helper moving forward.

I had a whole room to do, took a few hours with a helper.
