[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notice the story keeps changing from OP. First she and her neighbors are so proud they have an undocumented gardener. Now it’s changed to they supposedly have a legal lawn service they pay that doesn’t do as good of a job but they only pay the undocumented guy during a season of work for years. Even though they have 7 acres they use him no more than 50 hours a year (50 hours x $30).

OP you’re not the hero you think you are. If you were why wouldn’t you be giving him steady work year round?

And somehow OP knows he doesn’t drink (not sure why there is something wrong with the gardener having a cold beer on a Friday after work), and has an impeccable background. [/quote]

You’re misunderstanding.   I haven’t changed anything.  Let me explain.

I have seven acres.  Maybe half of it wooded.  The other half needs weekly mowing in the summer, again just seasonal work.  Guys come in with big ass mowers.  They mow and trim with weed whackers.  They do the job in about an hour.  There are typically six of them or so.  I pay the company $150.  They automatically bill my credit card.  I assume their workers are documented but I don’t know that.

My guy can’t do that kind of work.  The job is too big and requires several people and at least two big mowers.  But there’s other work that needs to be done.  He takes care of that.  Again, most of the time I don’t even know what if anything is needed — he texts that he’s coming, he does his thing, I pay him in cash, and invariably I marvel over the work (“wow, I didn’t even know I needed that, but now that I see what he did I realize I do”).

No “domestic” laborer working for himself around here is going to do that.  They’ll just expect me to tell them what to do, which half the time I won’t even know, and then when I tell them they’ll do a shitty job.
