So rude, like I feel like waiting around all day and they have no
intention of showing up. Why not just say I'm too busy or whatever.

I don't know if it's still in business or if the home advisor type
of websites work the same way, but you put in what you're looking
for and get responses from people who can do the work. They paid
like $40 just to respond so no one would respond if they weren't
serious.

Other than that, I have had great luck finding people in the Services
pages of the free weekly paper most people seem to get.
