I have 10 years experience in all kind of construction. I typically do my own handyman jobs, decks, painting and price out the jobs. My work is a little slow right now and a friend who works for a small family company is looking for someone to do a few weeks of painting. I told the guy I'm available for minimum $42 an hour. He said he will supply everything all I have to do it show up. I'm a very good experienced painter and really fast. He thinks this $42 is way too much considering he's supplying everything This is in Vancouver BC.
