I'm not good at house work either! I HATE it!!!

another housekeeping hater in the house!!!!

I CANNOT relate - I LOVE to clean! Cleaning for me is therapuetic - you can see the results of your labor. As DH says, I'm the only woman he knows for whom a whiff of bleach is an aphrodesiac! Saturday mornings without a bucket and cleaners and a vacuum and rubber gloves is just not the same! Spring cleaning - washing walls and ceilings and windows ... something to look forward to!

OTOH - I (along with my best girlfriend) built a cabin in a remote area (no power tools) building scaffolding, digging the foundation using shovels (no equipment), etc etc... it took a long time doing it on weekends and holidays, but the end result of a 2 bedroom cabin was so worth it. A great getaway - no electricity, just a woodstove for cooking and heat, spring fed running Water, and complete isolation - miles away from civilization accessed only by hiking in for a few hours.(or by snowmobile in winter)...wonderful! Too bad I have since moved 2000 miles away, and had to leave it behind. Oh well...it was a great experience and taught me all about the mechanics of building which has come in very useful as the house DH and I own now needed complete renovation when we bought it (that was part of the appeal of buying it - to redo it) - we have gutted and rebuilt it ourselves - no contractors or tradespeople. I will put my skills at using power tools, swinging a sledgehammer, wiring a house or drywalling against anyone!

I've often said, if I could find a place that would pay me what I make now to clean, I'd dump my paying job in a heartbeat. Sadly, though lots of people want cleaning done, they don't want to pay me a comparable salary!

tapshoes, you can also come to my house whenever you want!! LOL!!

My aunt cleans houses for a living. She actually makes good money. You just have to find the right people to work for and not compromise on your price. But it can be a challenge.

I have a magnet on my fridge that says "Make yourself at home. Feel free to clean" I hate house work.

The gal that comes and cleans for me makes very good money. I am probably the only person she cleans for that

is not rich. She cleans for a lot of retired people, and one

lady left her a Cadilac (sp?) in her will. All the people give her fabulous Christmas presents as well.

Wow thats pretty cool. I know a home health aide who has been left three houses and she is now relatively well off because of that.
