• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

How much time do you give habdy(lol) man to get your job done?

1) Get an estimated timeline up front. Pay 30% of estimated cost at that time.
2) Allow for 50% extra time for the unforeseen shit that comes up (ie a job takes 4 weeks, allow for 6 weeks total no more).
3) Pay 50% of the total job at the halfway timeline mark
4) Pay the other 50% upon completion of the work and make sure it is to your satisfaction.

The reason for the layered payment schedule is if he is using his own money, he has stake in the project to make sure its complete to get full payment. I've had half a dozen projects with different vendors on this. All of them had no problem with this set up.
 
OP's title made me think of this.
