Just recently i was helping my lisensed Friend on the side. He just started out on his own and only has one helper. He said he was to busy to do it but he would let me keep most of the loot, i would in a sense be working under him and would be really doing him a favor. so i said why not. Im really not a side job guy unless its for friends or family(and i usally get paid in food or beer) but i did it and it really was a pain in the ass.... plaster ceilling, cut in cans three ways and four ways added on everywere, bath, master bedroom, a real nasty crawl space...the works. and in the end of the roughin about 5 weeks ago he tells me the builder or homeowner bounced a check and hes waiting for it to clear or get another one or something like that.. and says "How about I give you half of what we disscussed and half later. So now its later and just for giggles i drove by the house and i could see that the rest of the work has been finished by someone. I think it was my old friend but he told me that it hasnt even been inspected yet. He is full of crap and i almost want to ask the HO who finished the work but i feel that would come off as a bit cheesey. I had a good repoir with him and dont really want to compromise that over some short cash. the (1200$) What do you guys think?
