Over the last month or so we have had 3 peeling parties and a few other random days of peeling here and there. For the 3 parties we actually paid high school kids $10/hour to peel. The first time on June 13th we had about 7 kids, but I was trying to do different work which left them unsupervised. They seemed to work hard, but did not peel as much as I had hoped. Especially since the weekend before Cody from the log home association came out and the 2 of us peeled almost as much as the 7 boys in less time. Lesson learned that with high school kids you almost need to work right along side them.
On June 28th I had a father and 2 sons come out that I found off Craig’s list. The four of us peeled all day in the sun, but got a lot done, about twice as much as the kids the previous weekend did.
Last weekend on the 3rd I had some of the high school kids back out to finish the peeling. Felt good to get it done. Should have kept track of man hours although I might not want to know
