I am going to get my very small back garden tidied, getting rid of leaves and weeds so it is ready for planting.
Its not a big job but the digging required is too much for me and DH. I had a heart attack at 32 last year and DH has a broken leg.
I have had two quotes 1 for £300 and one for £20 total. The person who quoted just £20 came this morning to see the garden. I thought he ment £20 an hour which is reasonable, but no he ment £20 total. I double checked the price as his English wasn't very good (he was Polish).
I will be using the person from this morning as he was on time and seemed like a nice man but feel bad about just giving him £20 for what will be a few hours digging. I thought I would double it to £40 at least ( I had budgeted £100). I have mentioned the quotes to people at work who all think I should just pay £20 as the man asked. This seems a bit stingy to me.
Aibu to pay him more than asked? Do you think he would be offended?
