Crazy Lawn Guy Update
My crazy lawn guy has billed me again.
To recap the billing history:
The first bill, in May 2006, covered several weeks of intense manual labor. The bill
was for $100.
The second bill came two years later, in June 2008. It covered two winters' worth of
shoveling and two summers' work of gardening, including mulching with mulch that he supplied.
This bill was itemized as "Winter work: $24; summer work $30; total: $54".
The third bill came six months later, in December, 2008, after my black walnut trees had
done their annual shedding. "Picking up walnuts: $75".
The fourth bill has just arrived, roughly four months later. It reads "Shoveled three
times in December 2008, $54".
He did continue to shovel through January, February and March, but these are not
mentioned on the bill.
