Good day,
Have done some construction work for an individual who recovered from a stroke few years ago, we had some difficulty with communication and working together.
Hadn’t talked to him for awhile till couple weeks ago he mentioned hopes to finish minor project we had started about a year ago that hasn’t been finished. He had recent arm surgery and isn’t able to do the work he was able to earlier.
Would be good to finish this project and help with work for other stroke survivors when possible. This is in the United States not the U.K.
I don’t have too specific of a question for this other than if anyone has advice about best professional practices when working with anyone who has recovered from a stroke, I know that can vary a lot.
For me one challenge was that he didn’t want to pay my standard minimum daily fee of $200 for construction service which is just to cover overhead expenses for equipment etc., but instead offered $25 an hour which I accepted but that turned out to not be the best decision when there is only couple hours of work to do at a time end up just taking a loss.
We completed installing new rafters for a boathouse roof extension and he was sourcing materials for roofing when we stopped, he was the one who decided he didn’t want to continue work with me at that time and am surprised to hear now that project never got completed.
That can be finished in half a day don’t need to charge for just that but I don’t run a charity myself have to be able to cover expenses.
