My project sits as I re-roof the patio and spend $500 on outdoor grade

My son starts college next fall, planning to major in Mech. E. He wants to get a
"real" job this summer. I am trying to talk him into helping me finish the
project this summer for pay of $1000 a month (40 hrs a week). I keep point out
to him that there is no job that he can work this summer that will give him as
much experience and practical mechanical understanding as helping me finish the
plane. My fingers are crossed for good luck that he'll agree.


Bruce,

Does the job include room and board too?

If the boy doesn't take it, I might!
