I've got an old sheet metal shed that is in good shape, except for the studs on the front wall. The folks we bought our house from had let it develop some leaks in one particular area on the roof and the studs on the front wall have largely rotted out.

It's a pretty low-level carpentry project, but I'd like to hire someone to replace the rotted studs with new studs. Would be a super 4-6 hour project for a college kid looking for a few hundred bucks. Anyone have any suggestions on a person who'd do that kind of small project?

I'll do it myself if I have to, but I'm so busy with work, I'd rather pay someone else.

If you want a college kid, get one from construction science dept.

They'll know exactly nothing about carpentry/framing unless they have worked on a framing crew at some point. Source: Me. I graduated from the construction science department.
