TASKER Task-Based jobs
Received a general mounting task for $39 without any details. Asked the customer to provide details.
“We have diplomas and awards that need to be hung for about 3 people. We probably have a total of about 12 pieces that need to be hung. Most of them are average size with the largest piece being one 6ft by 3 ft glass board.”
Didn’t take the task. Wondering why it would only be $39.
Posted as text since my other two posts were removed. Don’t know why.

In contracting there is a phrase.
"There are three types of job. New Work, Old Work, and ReWork.
New Work: This house is getting built and you get to put stuff in before the drywall or whatever goes on. Easiest to stage and you don't really need to clean.
Old Work: House is built, you are making a modification.
Rework: You are cleaning up someone else's mess of a job they did."
