Anyone done price work

mates - I just charge em the same as everybody else and pay them the same as everybody else (though I charged the mother in law more than everybody else LOL)

...say he's a painter and decorator, and the missus wants the lounge done, then you do it at mates rates, on the clear understanding that you expect the favour returned in kind...

Funnily enough, he is a painter and decorator and that's exactly what I had envisaged, as I'll be doing a lot of work on my place next year. However, I have now seen the standard of workmanship and I have no idea how he makes a living... he certainly won't be lifting a brush in my house.
