How much should i really get paid?

[Z28 Heritage]

My Grandmother is selling her house up in springfield. And me and my uncle were hired to clean the house fully out. Now were pretty much done with cleaning it out (Monday is the last day) the house. And i agreed to $500 Cash Money my uncles getting her old 2000 Cadillac catira. Do you think i got the ***** end of the deal? $500 cash sounded good before i did the work. But now that i did it it felt way more then $500. I cleaned and brought up a Range a washer and dryer up 30 steps of stairs. To me i think i got screwed over big but i wanted to see what you guys think about it.


Thanks

It's $500 cash under the table and you're helping family....

What do YOU think it's worth?(it doesn't matter what we think, you did the work)

[Featherburner]

You should do it for free for grammy.

[TAdan]

It's your grandmother. You should have done it for free IMO.

[transmaro93]

^^ im with them... i do crap for family all the time weather its help move or work on cars and i never charge them any money... or if its car stuff just the $$ to cover parts... thats what family is for...

[Frosty]

Poor granny has to go back to work now to pay you :(

:rofl:

$500 is fair IMO, especially since she offered it to you. Look at it this way, you helped an older family member and got paid a nice chunk of change for it...it's a win/win.

[Z28 Heritage]

No she thinks i should have gotten more. Its my father thats handing "her" money out. Help her out? lol i'v done that in the past for people and i got screwed. So nope this job ant free.

[Frosty]

Then bitch to your father, man up and say you think you deserve more. Either way you got paid a decent chunk of $$$.

[Z28 Heritage]

Then bitch to your father, man up and say you think you deserve more. Either way you got paid a decent chunk of $$$.I'm just seeing what people think. I think it was a $800 job. Well if i should have done it for free shouldin't my uncle do it for free too? lol Well i'll see on monday and if its that much work then i'll go ahead and say something.

Thanks for the advice again guys.

If that's all you did, you got overpaid.

[Z28 Heritage]

If that's all you did, you got overpaid.Nope there was a full basement. Also she kept a'lot of stuff that needed to be trown out. Also tables had be brought up and a desk. Also her house what trashed she treated it like ****. And there was black mold every where. Also its a 2 bedroom one bath house. And all those bedrooms had to be cleaned out. It was a pretty Fed up house before we cleaned it out.

[Blacdout96]

Your gettign the better end of the deal. Cadillace Catera's are POS! you're uncle will feel like he got **** shafted after a few months :lol:

Ok, honestly, how long did you work for? Sitting, eating, watching tv doesn't really count. What you describe sounds like a typical clean up job, pays about 8 to 12 bucks an hour. I doubt you worked between 40 and 60 hours on this house, plus you didn't pay any taxes, you won twice on this deal, imo.

[Z28 Heritage]

Your gettign the better end of the deal. Cadillace Catera's are POS! you're uncle will feel like he got **** shafted after a few months :lol:Whys that? Its has less then 30K Miles. And a year ago some chip that controlled all the electronics in the car went bad that was replaced. The car does look like a turd true true on that one. lol:rofl:

[Blacdout96]

Well, it wasent the first time Cadillac rebadged a chevy product, and tried to fool people into thinking it was luxurious. anyone remember the Cadillac Cimarron? :rofl: twice the price of a cavalier, time for some serious facepalmin'

I say 20 hours of work and were not done so add 8 hours to that for Monday. So 28 hours at $12.00 a hour it would be $336.00 so yea i guess i'm gettin the right amount. Yea your right man.

is your uncle your grandmothers son? if so.... then yea he should do it for free also. If she hands you money after your done like thanks so much for helping heres something, that's different but it sounds like you guys drew up a contract for helping our your grand ma. but all people are different i guess. judging by the hours worked you made just under $18/hour. thats not bad money at all for doing grunt work like that so id say you made out good.

Expect a motor replacement by 40K ;)

[NastyEllEssWon]

catera is just an opel with a caddy badge. shouldve done it for free....but since your getting paid take the 500 and be happy with it. your uncle is getting the better deal because he's not a young kid that will just blow through the cash. 500 bucks for cleaning out a basement is a good deal. stop complaining...you probably make half that a week at your pool boy job :nod:

[DaSkinnyGuy]

1. its family getting paid anything more than free is a great deal, but what truly counts is knowing in your heart you helped your grandmother out.

2. $500 is alot of money

3. Pat your self on the back you went up 30 stairs, if you just did this recently you got to do it in nice weather its not like theres 2 feet of snow outside with blowing snow hitting your face

4. your grandmother still alive, at the end of the day you got to put a smile on her face.

Its a alright ride but my fathers old 99 Forest Green STS was the most nicest ride that i ever rid in. The Catera IMO is ugly and really crappy the inside is cheap.

[Z28 Heritage]

[DaSkinnyGuy]

not as big of a project but when i was younger my great grandma would pay me $20 to mow grass and shovel snow and i felt that was to much

[Z28 Heritage]

not as big of a project but when i was younger my great grandma would pay me $20 to mow grass and shovel snow and i felt that was to muchYea well lets see did your grandmother come to your house and start fights every day? My Grandmother did she would fight with who ever just because she liked to fight. So thats why i don't do anything for her unless i get paid. I always use to help her and now i feel that i don't need to anymore. Since she lives with us now and i take care of her here. So yep thats about it for now.

Thanks

[edpontiac91]

My Uncle is her step son i guess. Yea i feel a'lot better now knowing how much i got paid a hour.

Plus in the very first POST you made, you stated you AGREED TO $500.00, and this is for HELPING your Grandmother who I'am quite sure can't do this by herself.

[madness410]

bro you helped your grandmother out for $500 that she offered. she could have probably hired mexicans to get it done for cheaper. i personally would have done it for free.
