Question Author
The reason i put friend in quotation marks is because he is an ex that owes me a lot of money, and doing jobs for me is the only way he can pay me back. As he is a heavy weed smoker i do have to pay him something so he can fund his habit otherwise he will not help me. We have tried him being paid by the day, but nothing gets done. So this time we thought it would be better for him to be paid by the job based on how long it will take him. Ovbulessly we really overestimated the time for this job, hence i posted the question. Reading all the responses it's really upsetting to see that this is the type of the world we live in. If i were being paid by a friend to do something based on how long it takes and i did it much quicker than expected i would be more than happy to accept less, And *** me, if i were to charge him the going rate for taxis, payday loans and solicitor services he would owe me an extra 10k. @NAIL IT, i completely agree that your friend shouldn't have tried to pay you less, as like you said you worked non-stop to get the job done, and i am guessing that it still took you the same amount of time that you thought it would. However, i don't think it's fair for you to compare the two as you are talking about the time at which you completed the job, i am talking about how long it actually took in actual hours.
And no, he didn't do a good job as he didn't sand it down prior to painting.
