HillsideOwner said:Well, student welfare. If there is anyone to help, I'd like to know. Free money just doesn't happen in my world. Reduced from college student to day labor would be the game that sounds like this. I've got some money but am looking for ideas and solutions. Shotcrete, gunnite, and just to pay landscapers are the ideas so far. I wouldn't like turning college kids into slaves.
The idea is to ask the community college instructor if there is interest.
He / she msy need projects
The class may benefit from putting your project with its unique plusses and minuses on the drawing board...learn from discussion about pro and cons of terrain and conditions...they would share these ideas with you along WITH the benefit of the professors guidance/ expertise.... the solutions could be evaluated by you...and your budget. They may have no means or desire to actually DO the work..but at least there would be no self interest in promoting one fix over another and you would benefit from the advice.
Some of these pupils may be interested in DOING the work. They are young and healthy (likely) and may need the $$ or the experience. Going from "college student" to slave labor should not play into it. It is a free world. I know budding brain surgeons that moonlghted doing all sorts of work for pennies. It is what they do. The students would be doing manual labor and at wages that reflected that sort of work... ..it should be up to them to decide if it is a fair wage. You have been told there is a community college in your area with a course... I would certainly make the call can't hurt.
