- I don't see how it's a gay issue either. - ty97 Jun 22, 09:33 1
  - it's not. but i was amused by his 'even though she's gay she has an attractive body' comment. - Andie Jun 22, 09:34
- Sexual activity with your sister? I'm an only child, so I don't get how that could be an issue. Just...eww. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 22, 09:33

ST Poll: Query -- hourly rate for a handi(person), insured, bonded and licensed? - OAE Jun 22, 09:25 19
- $50 is the minimum I would consider for a good person that is licensed, bonded and insured. Lower rates are easy to find, but I would question quality - Walt_Disney Jun 22, 10:05
- just drive over to Home Depot and pick up someone from the parking lot. - znufrii Jun 22, 09:31 1
  - need licensed, bonded and insured; it's a condominium complex -- nm - OAE Jun 22, 09:32
- Here? $25-$35 an hour. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 22, 09:29
- jeebus, $50 sounds insane. -- nm - Beaker Jun 22, 09:26 4
  - it depends - are they providing all the tools, etc etc? -- nm - Andie Jun 22, 09:26 3
    - Yes, they supply their own tools; we pay for materials -- nm - OAE Jun 22, 09:28 2
      - maybe try for a set price rather than by the hour. Avoid slacking. (and don't pay till done and checked out) -- nm - Beaker Jun 22, 09:30 1
        
        That's the more reasonable approach: a contract that defines the ... - OAE Jun 22, 09:31
- Oh, I think $50 is on the low end. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 09:26 9
  - Remind me: your locale? urban? rural? -- nm - OAE Jun 22, 09:28 2
    - Anchorage has a quarter million people. But in AK, you're never far from rural. ;) - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 09:30 1
      - :) yup, a yup. -- nm - OAE Jun 22, 09:31
  - That's definitely the low end here. -- nm - MDH Jun 22, 09:27 1
    - Also, remind me: your locale? urban? rural? -- nm - OAE Jun 22, 09:29
  - heh -- nm - Beaker Jun 22, 09:26 3
    - I paid a *little* less when I had a local guy replace some windows in the house, but he wasn't licensed/bonded/insured. I paid a LOT more... - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 09:28 2
      - No, the work is strictly preventative maintenance... - OAE Jun 22, 09:30 1
        
        Ah. Then you can probably find cheaper rates, but I wouldn't call $50/hour totally unreasonable, IMO. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 09:31
Kinect costs $150, and doesn't seem to be bundled with a game. That's steep. -- (link) - Inigo Jun 22, 09:21 3
- So can you play Halo 3 with the Kinect? - JaxSean Jun 22, 09:27
- Not bundling with a game is a big mistake imo. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 22, 09:21 1
  - Agreed. Bundle it with the Sports or Animal game. -- nm - Inigo Jun 22, 09:24
