The Perils of Working For Friends
Long story short~ Remodeled basement for longtime friends, including tearing out of old paneling glued to cinder block walls, framed, drywalled, replaced windows, and hauled all the debris away. Said friends didn't even offer to buy my sandwich when they ordered out for lunch on several ocassions while I was slaving away in their basement. Have had too many similar experiences with others in the past year and have now decided not to do free work anymore. (I have a full time job not related to building, but am a very skilled carpenter/woodworker) So, "basement" friends want existing bathroom next to finished basement remodeled. I need some guidance on how much to charge...anyone here do paid work for friends? I'd like to just charge a flat fee of what it's worth to me to even bother doing it...they want me to give them an hourly rate and an estimate of how much time it will take. What do you think? Thanks for any input. I am new here and I really appreciate this site. -- woodpassion |
