Yaya!! Of course, I'd never be home....(sadface)<< Greetings, If you continue to give it away, they will have no reason to pay what you are worth. If there is no enough time to take care of the pianos "on the clock" and you make up the difference in free time, you are teaching them that you can be had, and they will. You might consider letting the condition of the pianos reflect the shortage of hours they are buying, and then the "boss" can decide if that is really what they want. Time is the ONLY thing that we possess that has real value, and when it is gone, it is gone forever. There are no "do-overs" in this life, so charge what you are worth.
