    With my recent mayorship, I have obtained a nice 200x200 plot of land. I enjoy it's location very much, but the landscape terribly griefed (not a problem for what I want to do).

    What I need is a group of people to clear out EVERYTHING. That means shoveling dirt, mining out stone, and filling up lakes until I have a 198 x 198 hole to the ground down to Y = 15; kind of like this: http://assets.overclock.net.s3.amazonaws.com/2/24/2444983a_vbattach199603.png

    Except, yknow... a lot bigger... and deeper.

    I'd be paying for the time, of course, but I'll also have buy signs for cobblestone and dirt. I'm not interested in any other ores that may be found.

    I'm making the hiring thread after I get rid of some inactive locks and stuff, but at the moment I need some input:

    -How many people do you think I'll need for the job to be done within a week?

    -What would be a fair pay, considering that workers won't be doing the job alone?
    (Keep in mind that I'll be buying dirt and cobblestone from the job for $4 -5 a stack in addition to the pay.)

    I think you would need Quite a few people, depending on the pics people are using. Also, I think a fair price would be maybe 3kish an hour? I am not that good with prices :p but also I think there needs to be someone with erepairs doing/helping with the job because it would make things alot faster. The people would be like over 20 to get it done in a week (my guess). Also I would like to maybe help mining this out when you are ready (not today and maybe not tomorrow as I have baseball and homecoming tonight)

    2k an hour? I guess I'd have to calculate dig speed and all that then. I was also thinking people would just use iron pickaxes, seeing as most people looking for work are builders who don't seem all that rich.

    I might be buying stone. Are you planning to mine with silk touch?
