Oh, yes! jobs explained
 

A friend of a friend told me about "Oh, yes!" jobs. The
comment is often "Oh, yes! While you're here, can you also
fix...." this is very common with referral company calls. I
get a call to change a lock, and they want me to oil a glide
on a drawer, or some other obscure thing. Problem is, that
if I am agreeable and do the job, no one gets paid for the
work. They want stuff fixed, and not fussy who does the
repair.

If I quote for the original job I charge time and materials for add-ons. If
they are paying by the hour I don't stop the clock until I put my tools
away.
