How can I go about finding a painter helper?
DH and I agreed that he was going to paint the house after the construction was over...we didn't think it was necessary to pay thousands of dollars for a painter, when DH can do this himself (he's unemployed at the moment, so plenty of free time). However...it's a much bigger job than either of us thought....how can we find a helper? Neither of us have any family or real friends in the area....any suggestions? Thanks.

Home Dept may have painters that hang around and can help or hang a sign at a local college

Scott was talking about doing some painting on the side a while back, maybe he has some time to help you.

Thanks...I asked Scott, but I'm in NJ, so I think that's too far for him.
Anyone else want to come to NJ to help paint

Yes...but I'm only looking for someone to help my DH, not do the whole job...don't want to spend thousands, but I'm willing to pay for a helper.

Kim, it can never hurt to ask these guys! I'd call them anyway and explain your situation. You never know if they have a son/nephew who they can recommend.

that's a really good idea....also, maybe they can recommend someone that they've used themselves...good luck

Or even just look for a handyman they usually charge by the hour.
