Puget Sound area craftsmen?

[skyking]

My good friend and and flying partner of 20 years has had a stroke at 51. We are hopeful for a recovery but he is struggling to just get around. The stairs at this house are impossible for him
He is needing help finishing his house repairs so he can rent it out, since the market is so bad for selling right now. I will be going over on Saturday to get a handle on the job.
I know there is tile work, a little electrical, sheet rock, installing pre-hung doors and the like.
I can do all that but it would be slower, and frankly I don't want to work alone.
I'm putting out the call to see if some other craftspeople are out of work like me, and willing to lend a hand in the Renton area. There is no money for this; he and his new wife are in serious financial trouble. I will probably be buying materials out of my pocket.
Thanks for reading this and thank any of you who are willing to lend a hand in spirit if not in reality.

Maybe you could try some flyers in local churches. If I weren't on the other side of the country, I'd give you a hand.

Thank you for the suggestion. That you would be willing to help in spirit is just as good for me.

What's your overall estimate for time and skill level? I've got a group of friends/Bible study crew in Newcastle who might be persuaded to help out for a day or two, but few of us have any experience with construction (other than one person.)

I have to look at it before I would be able to give a good estimate. Help like that is always welcome. As far as skill level, I'd be willing to teach some of it as we go. I'll send you a PM.

Thanks Mugs.

AreaCode707's offer has really warmed my heart. My mom has been gone only three weeks now, and I really really did not want to do this alone.
