We've hired 3 brothers and a cousin for the last few years for our hay crew- hard workers, cell phones stayed in their car. Their folks don't give them money in the summer, so they'll work for it. I always round the time upward, pay $10 an hour, they seem happy for the work.
Also had my house re-roofed last summer- mostly Mexicans, but one white kid- and he said "I remember this place- I hayed for you several years ago." To which I replied, "Man, you're out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh?" He laughed and said, "Yeah, and I thought haying was hard. But a guy's gotta eat." They did a 30 square take-off (2 layers) and re-roof in one day. Great job, complimented the foreman on it- he said "We've found we don't get complaints if we don't give folks anything to complain about. Funny how that works." I had wondered when I came home at lunch- stray shingles that had missed the truck laying around everywhere, their lunch wastepaper strewn about, etc. Didn't say anything. Came home after work- job done, they're gone, not a sign that they had ever been there, except a few grains of mineral surface in the garden. Foreman said they've found its more time efficient if they leave everything where it falls until the end- then whole crew has garbage cans and picks up everything (even including any litter that was there before).

Elliott said while this
