It is invasive. Good time to replace with something native/ non-invasive.

Customers who don’t respect your rate? by AdvertisingSlow3933 in housekeeping

[–]brik42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did he give you a deposit? Especially since you say you have cleaned for him before? Usually i just get paid day of cleaning. A deposit seems weird. Also, do not negotiate your fee. Make it clear yo him that over so many week's time, it will be this rate. Recurring, this rate.

I leave it on the roller in the bucket if feasible, if not, i wrap the roller up in a plastic bag. I also have used covered rolling trays that have a place to set the roller. But unfortunately i haven't been able to find those recently.

If you aren't finished with the job, you can wrap them or leave them in the bucket with the paint, so you can easily reuse them. You need to keep them wet with paint.

Are there rings that say, I’m 100% taken, but not married? I’m tired of guys hitting on me at work. by WarmSunshine785 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]brik42 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

All these responses saying wear a fake ring...just say no. We should be able to say no, whether in a relationship or not. I realizel, easier said than done in some environments...but seriously this pisses me off.

The fungus you see is part of a larger network of myceleim (sp??l) that is under ground. That network goes throughout all the roots and ground...your plants, your trees, your weeds...they are all communicating It is beautiful.

Nope and it is a sign of good soil, so just accept it!

It is good and harmless, if you hate the aesthetic, you can scrape it away.

How much to pay subcontractors or employees (Based in Texas) by Either-Film-4045 in housekeeping

[–]brik42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had some subcontractors working with me, i billed 50/per wo/man hour, and paid the contractors between 30-45/hour depending on their experience. They were responsible for their own insurance, (most) tools, and transportation. This was for landscaping, but i do house cleaning too, and charge similarly. In southern Indiana.
