Cr8ondt Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 So my Brother needs some remolding in his basement to rent out, he lives in Rochester Hills Mi, (very well off area) I'm 2 hours away. So the list is probably 3 days work and wants to pay me local money... It's alot more than I'd charge a nobody and wants to buy me a tool of choice... I'd rather hang with my brother and work on his basement........... Ethics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 @Cr8ondt @Atlas2000 essentially accept the extra pay cause well off area or reject the extra pay cause family? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordraw Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 If he can afford it than what the heck. If not charge what you are happy with or do it for free if you just want to help a brother out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foneguy Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 My $0.02 ..... Hang with your brother have a great visit, no cash... and you are both comfortable, a tool of choice is fantastic. thats what I would do.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas2000 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 OK, got it now. I assume, if people make me an uncoerced offer, that they are comfortable with it. I would have no trouble accepting. He obviously knows you are having to make a long trip and do a lot of work. If you have trouble accepting such offers from family, then I can offer no advice.

Conductor562 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 If your brother is well enough off and wants to do something nice for you, let him. Make it clear he doesn't have to, but let him be a brother. I'm more excited about the tool of choice. Jesus, I get excited when other people get tools. What went wrong with my life? Hi, my name is Conductor and I have a problem ☹️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
