I have a relative who is out of work. I thought I would help him with
some re-modeling work. He is an experienced home re-modeler and I don't
question his experience.

My question is what to pay? The work might include installing
re-placement windows, re-model some bathrooms, new siding, etc. The
prevailing base wage rate established by the state (North East) for a
journey carpenter is about $38/hr.

He has no place to live so would move in here and we would provide room
and board.

Any thoughts?

How about $38/hr?

None of the work needs to be done. How about he does it for nothing but
I provide him with a place to live?- Hide quoted text -

In 2-4 days he will have paid rent, you want free work from him every
day? Get bids on the work, he should do it a bit cheaper and pay rent.
If its not fair it wont work.
