When my girls were of babysitting age, they were hesitant about charging parents, so I suggested that they ask what the parent was in the habit of paying and accepting that amount and if they thought it was not enough, declining to work for them again. This avoided the embarrassment of stating a fee. Apparently my great grand daughter follows much the same pattern as she mentioned several different parents and different fees.
I think I have made my chore of cleaning up storm debris a little easier. I gave myself an early mother’s day and 87th birthday gift and purchased a battery operated 40 volt Black and Decker chain saw. I think it is similar to one Windflier recommended in an earlier post. I hope so as I couldn’t seem to find the post that he discussed it in.
Anyway, I have had a good time with it so far, cutting up larger limbs and brush to make them more manageable.
Oh, you are so cute. I would love to have a picture of you using your chainsaw :-) that is the most adorable 87th birthday present I could think of. I hope when I am anywhere near your age that that is the gift I would want. LOL!
And I love your can-do attitude -instead of waiting for someone to come and help you clean up, you found away. That is what prepping is all about! And that is what will be missing for much of our society when things get bad.
We have had some horrendous win today. It is supposed to continue for two more days. I know the forest is going to be a mess after this. Speaking of your chainsaw :-)
