Paint/stain Deck

I need a handyman / painter to paint my roof deck. Deck is about 10x15. With railings.

- Buy 3-4 Gallons paint at Home Depot
- Sand and prep wooden deck
- must do two complete layers of paint, before/after lunch
- a few small peices of wood need minor repairs
- some materials/woods need to be removed from deck and discarded
- Need deck area cleaned, removal of some deck furniture
- Must do all work in one work day 9am-9pm
- should be a 4 hour job, worse case 8 hrs, but plan 12hour window to assure it gets done
- Must be clean and tidy and considerate to home
- Must have transportation to go to Home Depot
- Must have basic painting supplies (brushes, etc)
- Must have painting experience
- Must be on time, and reliable.

He or she doesn't want much...
I wonder if control issues permeate other areas of their life?

Oh wait, how much they were paying? Surely they dictated that also.

You forgot to add they want it all done for $400 including materials.

After that you can ask them to step away from the crack pipe!!!

I doubt it. He thinks it'll take 6 hours, so I am going to say he is willing to pay about $50, you know, $8/hr is big money and he is willing to pay cash
