You are paying him $2 a month for whatever product he has created so far. You and I both know that payment only started about 20 days ago... before that it was completely free.
My recommendation is simply that you offer him more... $85/hr is what my mechanic charges to fix my Tahoe. I figure he's worth at least that.
If you are paying your mechanic 85$ / hr you are being screwed big time...
My mechanic is a badass. He opens shop at 4am. If I have my truck to him at that time, its ready to pickup by noon. My truck has all kinds of mods and runs great all the time... because of him. A couple of times he has made a mistake or missed something that made it so I had to drive my wife's Honda. Guess what? He made it right.
He reminds me of Tytanick. That is what I am communicating here. I love people like that.
