Every snow storm my best friend Andy and I would get really excited because once we spent the time shoveling our own driveways, we would knock on doors and shovel others. We would bring home like $50/kid after a long time, but we really went at it.
I've lived in my current house for 7 years. Most of the time I see the man of the house shoveling his own (or snow blower). I rarely see kids doing it for their own homes, and never have been approached my a neighbor kid asking if I would like them to do it.
Tonite a kid rang the door bell with his buddy. Prob 10 or 11 years old. He asks if I'd like them to shovel. I say yeah, how much are you charging? He looks up and down the driveway (I have a pretty long driveway) and says $20.
It usually takes me 1.5-2 hours with 6+ inch snow (like we are getting tonite). So I figure it'll take them 1hr, $10/hr. A bit steep (I'm assuming they aren't reporting
). Maybe I should ask for a W9!!!
Anyway, 7 yrs, prob 30-40 considerable snowfalls, this is the first time.
When you were a kid, did you shovel (or mow lawns etc) for cash for neighbors? Do kids in your neighborhood do this anymore? I remember a lot of kids when I was growing up did this. Is it less common now?
Also, if they get hurt, how much legal trouble can I get in?
