I've got a couple gentlemen that may not have papers digging a hole or 2 for me, prob a morning's work...

I have no freaking idea how much to pay them, I picked them up just like I do hookers, @ a park outside the Post Office this morning...

Preparing for ex-wife... Thread

Seriously though, putting in a couple of flagstone patios, got tired of digging piecemeal.

No, there were some language difficulties...

Well then I'd hand them what you think's fair ($80?), unless they pull out the perfect english when it time to collect.:p

"siete dólares por hora"

One thing I learned in Mexico was to ask how much the taxi ride cost before I got in the taxi:D

Pay them minimum wage where you are. Here it's $5.15/hr

If you want to be nice, buy them breakfast too.
