Re: Raj's Dilemma
Something else to consider is what this deal could do to your friendship is something goes wrong. I'm not saying don't do it, but make sure that you both understand your expectations before agreeing on anything. You can end up feeling betrayed by having a different idea of what you are agreeing to. I had a relative do some carpentry work for us, and, besides having to have it redone by someone more competent, I really don't care to talk to him anymore. I think he misrepresented his experience and ability to do the job. God knows what he thinks about our dissatisfaction--he wouldn't return our phone calls.
