In my experience, judges in small claims court often use their own sense of fairness instead of trying to research and follow the laws explicitly.So, if you charge your time as you would pay a laborer/handyman maybe $15/hour, I think you have a decent change of getting awarded that money.

Now is the time to be investing in Wenatchee, Washington.This year the area's first Hydrogen plant is scheduled to start operating a $25,000,000 project.Northwest Natural Gas is putting in a $43,000,000 natural gas plant.In May of this year, the Washington State Port Association awarded The Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority The 2024 Job Creator Award for creating jobs in the area.Earlier this year at a state of the economics luncheon it was rumored that the area will have over 25 data centers in the future.I was recently at a community meeting where Helion Spoke about putting in the world's first Fusion plant.

And it's definitely NOT a given that the court would award the relief sought.

Not aware of a client that would award a contractor operating as an individual a major project with the contractor exposed to tons of personal liability.The conflict arises because most general contractors, are used to being retained to source for both materials and labor for the client.
