I'd say she was getting a hell of a deal.
If I
were trying to make a living at remodeling, it wouldn't have been
worth my time to drive 40 minutes, haul out my tools, make the cuts,
shoot off the t&g and collect my check for fifty dollars.

That's for Damm Sure!
you should have told her to get an estimate from a 'real' carpenter , She
would be calling you that night.

Do people still trade labor any more? Steve's post about wanting some
writing done in exchange for a plane got me to thinking about that. A
few weeks ago, I offered to hang about 50 SF of tongue-and-groove
wainscoating in exchange for a wood-burning stove and the lady who was
getting rid of the stove had to think about it for a minute. She was
on the verge of selling the stove for fifty bucks, and wasn't sure
about exchanging a couple of hours of my time for that stove.
