I completely agree with Jo*mar. You don't to have a make a big declaration about it or anything, just politely say NO the next time you're asked. You can say you're busy ....or you don't have to provide any excuse or explanation at all ...and you don't have to pick up the phone, either.
There's nothing about your personal relationship with these people that will really help sell your house. The potential buyers will be interested in buying your home, not your friends. And they're not really friends anyway - they're they're just a couple of neighbors who've found an easy-cheap way to get work done around their house at someone else's expense.
they'll keep on taking so long as you keep on giving.
