Is $7,000 to hang, mud, tape, and make paint ready the basement a fair price?
Project Details
I’m having some guys hang/mud/tape/and make paint ready the basement. I have a cooler and snacks down there for them and I’m going to ask them tomorrow if they want me to buy some lunch. They already started today. I bought them lunch yesterday and there’s a cooler down there with water pop Gatorade and snacks. I’m just looking for some feedback regarding tipping.
