A neighbour helping a neighbour is one thing, paying someone is something else. Everyone around here has a chainsaw but very few would climb a tree with one.
Geoff… I apologise if I have wasted your time…
As your posts progressed, I thought your major concern was to ensure that whoever helped you would be covered by Insurance in event of an accident.
This is why I suggested you discuss the situation with your Insurance Company.
