Re: [World] How & what to charge for water stain removal

["SHAWN BANACH" <addressis@removed>]

Because it doesnt take much skill to rub stain removal on glass, why not
hire
an hourly guy or somebody who wants to make a quick buck to do the work
and you come back a detail the job?  Did he sign a release form?  If so
200 bucks sounds preety sweet to me?
