Way to find local labor

[John Underwood]

I wasn't having much luck finding local labor on FB groups or marketplace.

I changed my address to our PF cabin on the Next door app and posted same thing and am getting replies from local people to do some deck staing and other small tasks.

Housing prices here in Tahoe have pushed many long-time locals out, so trades and skilled labor are in short supply.  It's hard to find anyone to do work, or the price is astronomical.

I've resorted to creative sourcing for labor, using out-of-area folks who are interested in a "working vacation" in Tahoe.  I let them stay at the property for free during mid-week nights that are unlikely to book.  Or in the case of the major remodel we did last year, the two guys from LA who did most of the work stayed onsite in my travel trailer.
