Am i been reasonable!!

[DurhamSparky]

Have a Chap working with me for experience...! any way he wont take payment and is a good chap as well...! actually recruited him via the forums.!

any way as a way of saying thanks i have purchased him the CK Tool Bag (he liked mine as said he was going to buy one) a Di Log Volt Stick and Di Log Voltage / Continuity probe as well as a wholesale special pack of CK Screwdrivers!

is that reasonable effort to say thanks!? or should i not give him any thing?

bearing in mind so far he has helped on 2x CU changes (one involved lots of extension of cables) a Rewire, various odd Jobs inc Spotlights and fault finding. Outdoor lighting and power , cooker installs, and with more in the pipe line..! and 3 PIRS and Remedial work including replacing nearly all the outlets and Pendants!

hope they are insulated drivers if you've got more work for him

 

[GrannySmiff]

I think its good that you are trying to compensate him and tools will help him as we all need tools. He will be happy he has found somebody to show him the ropes. So it all depends on how much more work he does for you as to how you carry on, why does he not want payment though? maybe he is not confident of his ability yet or thinks that if you have to pay him he will get less chance to tag along. Only the pair of you can work out what is best.
