My mom really enjoys working outside and working with flowers. What would yall think about having my mom work with/for me doing flower bed work. Also, how much would yall charge per hour for bed work?

My mom helps me do that kind of thing. The customer doesn't have to know it's your mom. I charge $45/ man/woman hour.

What if you have to fire her? Might be a little tense around the dinner table

PLM-1, is that 5x10 trailer still for sale. I've been looking for one and live in Overland Park/Kansas City, KS. If it's still for sale how much are you asking?

I think it's a great idea. You know she will do a good job, you can trust her, and she will always have your best interest(or the interest of your business) in mind. I,m sure she would be far better than any employee you would hire.

I agree, when your starting out, I think relying on family for help is great!

My sister is starting work with me in two weeks. Mind you I have a few other people going as well and she will be doing maintenance and I mainly work on the installations. So I will rarely work alongside her and won't be her direct supervisor.

But nonetheless, I agree with you about keeping your best interest in mind and being able to trust her.

what's the problem with that? I don't see any at all.
