Hello All,
My brother-in-law is a
diesel mechanic and has done work on my Mercedes. I pay for parts, but he
steadfastly refuses money, gift certificates or any other form of payment for
his labor. If I'm lucky I can buy him lunch.
He has always been
fascinated w. the BD I make. He is willing to accept some of my homebrew to use
in his oil-fired heating system.
A friend delivered a
couple of drums of methanol to my house and refused to even accept $ for fuel
(diesel). He did accept some of my homebrewed BD.
A couple of times a year a
neighbor delivers a beautiful pile of horse manure to the back of my
garden. As a "Thank You" I have been dropping a bottle of wine off at his
house along with some tomatoes from the garden. Last time he expressed interest
in my homebrewed BD. Next time ... a bottle of wine, some tomatoes
and a cubie full of fresh BD?
I like bartering this way.
I don't mind erring on the side of generosity, but would appreciate some
guidance.
What do you suppose the going
rate (BD/hour, gallons/job) for
1. Mechanic working on car. My bro-in-law is going
to install a block heater in my car in the next week or two.
2. Excavation work
3. Electrical work
4. Carpentry
5. Medical/Dental work
Feel free to add others
Tom
