Need help with house project

Gig Description
I need someone to install a one-piece toilet in a small bathroom along with new baseboard in toilet alcove (~7 ft total). I also need the old multi-turn water valve and supply line replaced with a new quarter-turn one. Old toilet has already been pulled out and flange is cleaned and inspected (no repair or extender is needed). Project includes the following tasks:
- Help me carry new toilet up one flight of stairs
- Help carry old toilet to curb
- Replace old (leaking) water valve and hose with new quarter-turn valve, hose, and escutcheon plate.
- Measure and
cut new baseboard to fit (4 pieces with mitre cuts), and nail/glue in place.
- Touch up paint on new baseboard as needed (baseboard is already primed and painted)
- Caulk baseboard (corners and floor edge)
- Install new toilet (toilet is one piece and
fully assembled, so this consists of installing wax ring, closet bolts/covers, seating of toilet base, and attaching new
water line).
- Test for leaks and functionality of new toilet.
I will supply all materials (including toilet, new supply valve/line, teflon tape, escutcheon plate, baseboard, etc.), but I do not have a mitre saw (for the baseboard cuts). All sawing needs to be done outside (no sawdust inside please), and work must be complete by 6pm.
At a minimum, you must provide a mitre saw and have prior experience installing/replacing water valve/line and toilet.
I will pay $50/hr, with 2 hour minimum. Estimate 1-2 hours, unless something unforeseen comes up (it is an old house, so that is always a possibility, and in that case $50/hour will apply). I am looking for ONE PERSON to help with this project.
