<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1172819, member: 22004&quot;]Without knowing what the work was, what the job was actually worth if you had hired a fully licensed, insured, and indebted business, it is hard to judge the situation.&nbsp; Self-employment is a challenge any way you slice it.&nbsp; The company has to get the work, have all necessary materials to do the job, have workers to help, finally get paid and then pay the bills.&nbsp; Not an easy formula.&nbsp; I always held to my estimate price unless there were add-ons.&nbsp; By law, you can add 15% if both agree.&nbsp; But if someone estimates a fraction of a job&#039;s actual value and then is stuck in the proverbial 12 labors of Hercules before getting paid, it is more a burden on the worker than the customer.&nbsp; Since it is a cash job the guy is saving on taxes most likely.&nbsp; I try to give a check for services just so that the service provider doesn&#039;t think that they are not accountable to the three letter men.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
