If i dont answer just leave a message and i will get back to ya as soon as i noticed you called.

I have tools, and a strong back, and willing to attempt anything. My parents live in southern Idaho as well, and they have a house that sits on 2 acres out in the country, and they would probably be willing to let someone in need work on their bus in their drive way or basketball court.
