Am I Bad Bapu?
My 14 and 12 year old grandsons are stripping and sanding our two front rails so that I can primer and repaint them. The are only 6 feet long on two 3 foot high posts. I'm paying them $20 each for the work. Are there child labor laws against such things?

Did you negotiate that price? Did you even try to start at $10 or did you just blurt out $20 and hope for the best?

Holy crap! I only wish I could have been paid like that when I was 12-14! Actually, just getting paid anything would have been nice...

Where are the power tools? Don't you have a pressure washer?

I'm pretty sure my dad had given me some of my very own power (hand) tools by that age. OTOH, he still won't loan me his chain saw.
