I am painting a house! For monies!

In the area here, house painters usually would receive $11-15.
Just tell her if she can afford that but if not, just negotiate something with her that is fair for both of you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

completely missed this. That is fair what she did to you. Even though it's not great of a pay, she also included lunchbreaks which is great of her.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
