Another thing about hiring for cash jobs- if you are hiring for work on your property, you are required to ensure that the worker has WCB insurance. I'm sure it's fine most of the time, but perhaps not a smart idea to have them hanging from the side of your house upside doing dangerous work. Just a thought.
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
-Thomas Jefferson 1802
