I'm going to begin prepping to paint the outside of my house soon, and want to wire brush by hand all the eaves and such. Unfortunately, a neck injury prevents me from doing that specific part of the job myself. I was considering hiring a day helper (here in SoCal you can find casual day laborers in front of Home Depot, among other places) to do this part of the job. When I mentioned this to a friend, he warned me away from the idea, saying that I should always be careful hiring someone like that, and especially not to put them up on ladders because at least some of them may be looking for an easy injury and liability lawsuit. Any advice on this?
