Quoted from cfh:

Anyone can go help Tim now. He has a sales trailer in the back yard behind the PHoF where you can stay for free. It's actually pretty comfortable. Bedroom, full bath, small (really small) kitchen, large louge area. It's in the locked fenced yard so no one bothers you. That's where people stay that help Tim for more than a day.
But Tim doesn't want someone to come work for a couple hours. he wants you there 8 hours a day, or it's not worth his time. He has a particular way to do things, and you must follow his protocol. It takes a bit to learn it, so he doesn't want to expend the energy to do that if you're not serious and not willing to work full days.
The post about coins and his paranoia of theft is a real issue. Tim is very paranoid people are stealing. It's a problem with him family, Tim/Tom/Ted all have this issue. Money drives these folks and they always think someone is stealing from them. Heck they may be right, but regardless, it's a freaky thing and it bothers me when i visit tim.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Seems to me there is lots of room to hire reasonable staff, and also significantly increase their yearly giving to local charities.

Quoted from frolic:

Tim just doesn't want to do things differently.
