Where to find day laborers in south OC? (Las Flores: truck rental, rental)

[Charles]

Where would I drive by tomorrow morning to pick up a day laborer? I need some help digging out a tree stump.

Closest to Las Flores (Oso and Antonio)?

Thanks

I've seen em at the Home Depot west of the 55 at Edinger.. best I can do

I may just head over to the HD at Marguerite near Crown Valley.

The other thing is, I think this is a two or three hour job. In the past I have hired these guys for a whole day or two to rebuild a wooden back yard fence, dig out the old posts, etc. I guess I'll have to ask who wants a three hour job.

Find a moving truck rental place, like U-Haul or Suppose U Drive, there are usually a number outside early hoping to get some day work helping people move boxes and such.

Yeah...day laborers are always in front of that Home Depot.

You could pick them up for a job and then drive the other way down the freeway and drop them off at the border.

I didn't attempt to pick one up today but I did send get an estimate for $225 by sending photos to a landscaper on Craigslist. I suppose after he takes his cut, his laborer gets $50. It's going to be tough though, I pretty much gave up doing it myself. I don't want it to be grinded - I need it pulled out because I want to plant an orange tree there.

Does the fence enclose the tree? If not, you mightuse your own or borrow a friends truck - attach a chain -and yank it out.

Washington Navels for eating and Valencias for juicing. I have both. Also if you want a nearly year-round supply of lemons, get a Meyer Lemon.

A stump grinder is going to do the same thing that cutting it out with a hatchet is going to do. You either have to dig up the big roots by hand or leave them in, unless you have some real equipment like a backhoe. A well-seated stump will resist to any vehicle without a lot of horsepower; I remember my uncle almost yanked the axle off his Jeep trying to pull up some old bush at a neighbor's. Stump grinder! We took out a row of 40-year-old yews in front of our house two summers ago, and we planted two trees in there. They are doing fine.
