Animal care while we are away

We just came back (couple weeks ago) from a week vacation. The neighbor farmer watered 5 coops while we were gone. We paid him $10 a day..he wouldn't take more.

I'd suggest timing how long it takes to do the work you want done. Then pay the kid $10 per hour (don't tell him it's per hour....just a set fee). since it's twice a day, i'd say a minimum of $20 a day unless you're in a really depressed area.

A lot of "how muchto pay" depends on if you want the kid to A, do a good job, and B. do you want to ask him again?
