60 minutes, $300.00

[redprospector]

Well the timing just couldn't be better on this one. I've gone and got myself a side job this coming Sunday, and because of this thread, I'm gonna be laughing the rest of the week!

Nothing to do with trees or saws, so I won't offend any members here. I agree with one point that I believe redprospector was trying to make: many times our viewpoint changes depending on whose ox is being gored.

An elderly women needs to have her Kitchen painted. The home care person's daughter was offered the job but blew it off. So, a buddie and I are going to paint this kitchen for $125. Ain't licensed, insured, collecting sales tax, or reporting the income.

Now If I posted this on painterssite.com, I bet that there would be a lot of "pros" all worked up about this. I'm not certified, don't have a van with my company name on it, hell, I don't even have a pair of white painters pants. And there is a 99% probability that I'll be drinking beer on the job!

I just hope that no painter's kids are going to go hungry cause we are going to paint that kitchen. Course, I do all of my own painting at my house too, further depriving the local painters of their livelyhood.

I'm a pretty self sufficient guy, but after this thread, any time I do something for myself I'm going to be wondering if I'm taking work away from some guy who does whatever it is for a living. I just fixed my shower faucet. Maybe I should have called a plumber and payed him $200 for a 15 minute job. Yeah, plumbers! And we though arborists charged a lot!

You hit the nail on the head Spike60.
And I wouldn't worry about anyone going hungry, their out doing side jobs too.
Thall I'm happy for you with your tips, good job.
I've got a little dirt working side job to do. Gotta do my part to help keep those prices in line.

Hey wait a dayumm minute. My hot water heater went bad last year. I went and got a new one and installed it myself. A few years before it went bad and I help the plumber installed and I watched him closely. He got 200.00 on that installation. This last one I did myself. I reckon I could send him a 20 for showing me how its done, on second thought, naaaaaaaaaaa,
