- There are stains for concrete that would look a lot better than paint,
which would look funny. One site I googled for is
www.concrete-stains.com though obviously you could go to all the
trouble of using something like that and still have the dog pee stains
noticeable.

YOU are the one that's assuming everything, not me. You assume
everyone steals tools and it's up to a homeowner to know where they
came from. You assume a permit is required to replace a compressor.
Oh, but now you say it "may" be required....

1099's are required when a business deducts the monies paid as an

A private individual cannot deduct the money he paid a contractor as a

The thread was about a furnace that was around $4000.
You gave an example, I gave a counter example. The
fact remains that they guy was working on a 1099 basis.
If you don't send a 1099 when required, the law has been
broken. If you don't think the guy was on 1099, then...

That's true, but it's no different than a timer for heating/cooling a
