Since it's you, where do you come out on the no tax w/h etc.? I guess they are probably legitimately independent contractors, and the total amounts paid are under the amounts for which it would be necessary to file a 1099, so maybe that's not an issue. But I wonder a bit about the ind. cont. issue because they are using the hiring person's materials, and are probably acting under their direction in some if not many cases.
Do you think a day laborer could install a faucet for me? I can't get the, uh, bolts (?) to loosen. I did figure out how to turn off the water, though.
