Do Growers Have House Keepers/maid service?

I'm just curious if any growers out there have house keeping/maid service?
And how you handle it?

Or is that a luxury that people in this hobby have to do with out?

How about other services?

Any stories or experiences?

Just thought it would be fun to ponder.

have maids at home but not at my place. maids/drivers/handyman gossip and you can bet your arse that sooner or later your maid will use it against you! they really hold the power sometimes i feel in the way. can't be yourself around servants because they're not themselves as they're working and you/i feel judged (blatantly)- if you are sitting there with your hands down your underpants or knickers, hungover and talking to yourself it can feel a bit uncomfortable with a maid around unless you want them to prepare you a little something something.

with time a maid becomes part of the family until then expect the above...

We have a house keeper who comes 5 days a week for 3 hours a day right now,with summer on the way her hours will increase for spring cleaning.

It really isnt bad having her here once my wife got to be friends with her but at first it was hell,my wife hated having her in the home but their pals now so it feels normal.

Its quite expensive at $45 an hour but well worth it,the entire home is allways spotless & my wife dont have to get upset from seeing me do housework which she deems womans work.

I've had a maid in the past, but not while growing. Only paid her in weed, equiv for her about 25 an hour, equiv for me about 12. She was cool, probably would remain cool but I'm paranoid.

Shit I wish it was that cheap,i pay alot more than that,i pay over $3,400 a month for home services which includes house keeping & landscape maintainance.

Then It costs right around $20,000 a month for my wifes in home medical service,even with my insurance policies paying their share im quickly going broke paying for all the shit,if it keeps up like this ive only got enough savings to keep things going another 4 to 5 years,after that Im gonna have to start selling shit off.

The things we do for love I tell ya.

true $45 an hour is $93,000+ a year.
holy shit. that house keep gets paid more them most nurses, and people with good degrees!
Before I retired last year I made $43 an hour plus $7 an hour more vacation pay,plus bonuses for labor savings,meeting schedule deadlines as well as xmas bonuses,not bad for a guy who quit school in the 7th grade to go to work.

i would love nothing more than to hire some broad to come by every once in a while to clean up after me because i'm a major slob. this is a tiny apartment, though. there is evidence of my grow all over the place. i always wondered if i could just collect everything and stick it in the spare room and throw the cat in there and lock the door and just tell the bitch to not go in there.

how does that even work? do i sit in front of maury with some bonbons while she flits around cleaning shit? can i stare at her? who's vacuum does she use? will she move furniture to clean underneath it? does that cost more?

i don't want a "housekeeper", just someone to come by and clean when the mess starts to suffocate me.

Damn dude, that's a lot of $ on landscaping and housekeeping. Really necessary? I bet you could find some eager kid willing to do the landscaping for way less than half...

We have a friend that comes in once a week to help with the cleaning. With a mother that's terminal and under hospice care and a dad with Alzheimer's and a nephew we took in when his dad died; my hands are full at the moment. It's a blessing to have someone that can come in a do shit you're just too damn tired to do. My grow room is off limits. I keep it locked and all she knows is it's a storage room. I tell her it's full so she doesn't ask to store anything there. :p

In the beginning it was kind of tough to hide my grow in my 25 sq foot cabin from the maid but I stayed super stealth about it the whole time
