re: a cleaning man. Yes, I knew one man who did cleaning...also did general child care. He was sort of a house 'manager' for a family for awhile.

I, personally, have considered doing cleaning for extra income, but my woodworking business did well enough that I avoided having to travel and deal with other folks stuff. I am reall pretty good at cleaning when I bother. There is no part of housework that I can't or won't do....I just don't always choose to some parts for myself on a regular basis. I do toilet scrubbing, stove and oven cleaning, serious vacuuming, floor mopping, laundry...(though, I must confess, I hate folding...)....why, I even do windows.

Now...if I could just find time to do all those things on some sort of regular schedule. But that would eat into my Mudcat time!
