Day two involved hauling away railroad ties, a mini fridge and a set of bar stools. Young's goal: Pocket a Benjamin each day for 100 days to save up for a trip to Thailand with his wife.After a week of mowing lawns, moving furniture and digging a hole in Clintonville to make room for a backyard gazebo, so far he's been able to keep pace. State of play: Young's overnight work at UPS and afternoon shifts for a mattress company paid for his wife to immigrate here from Thailand.In the hours between jobs, he's now seeking more work cleaning homes and clearing out gutters to pay for a visit back to her native country.Young is equipped with a ladder, simple tools and an inexhaustible work ethic, but it was to Reddit and Facebook that netted him a handful of gigs to start. What he's saying: "[My friends] think there's something wrong with me. Maybe they're right," Young jokes.He tells Axios that he's always being resourceful, with an entrepreneurial streak."I love having a little more freedom and earning what I have." Want to hire Jarrod?
