whats the smart way to buy kitchen appliances?
I am remodeling are kitchen and need all new kitchen appliances. Is there any discounts that I can ask for that I may not know about. I went to one local store and the gentlemen gave me a price of a gas stove that I want with cast iron grates and a nice refrigerator with the ice bucket on the door preferably counterdepth and the price for the kitchen package came out 00. He said that was his best contracting price, I just believe that there is something a little more less expensive out there. So is there any good online deals or stores that I can go to and what kind of questions can I ask the store employees about getting discounts on the appliances?

Am i being paid fairly for housepainting?
my roommate has a painting "company". i say company loosely. its only her, and me, sometimes. she pays me under the table no taxes i dont get a check so not surely im working for a company or for her or what. the first time we worked for 8 hours and finished the walls on the first floor of a home. i did a large portion of the work like 40 to 50 percent. she paid me 40, and said it was because she was teaching me a new skill and she had discounted the job. then i did a small job of sanding and primering 3 iron staircase railings. i did about half the work, she paid me 60 for that, which i thought was fair. then we did a large deck and a medium sized deck. i got paid 60 for that at about 6 hours. then we painted a one bedroom condo, walls only, it took about 10-11 hours straight through, i did all the rolling, and a small portion of trimwork i havent been paid yet but im not sure what is fair to ask for it. i know its her company, but if its just the two of us and i do half the work what is fair? should i be asking for a certain amount per hour or a percentage. any experienced house painters or contractors or company men know? i should mention that her rates are cheaper than contractors at 80 $ for a medium to moderately large room compared to 120 for a contractor.
