In Reply to: What should I charge? posted by Chris Jones on October 25, 2013 at 09:43:48:
$5 an hour is good money nowdays...if your in high school. To me you are an adult and there is such a thing as minimum wage, employed or unemployed. I do agree with some of the other comments. Being they are helping you out puts a different spin on things though, and makes it more difficult. Since you dont know what to charge for what they want done, why not call a place that does this type of work and see if you can get a general idea what they would charge, and then go from there.

My dad said if you have a $50,000 dollar tractor the guy driving it better be worth $5 an hour, meaning not just anyone can run it. I dont even know anyone personally that has a pool lol.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
