    Are you paying 170 a week for a 3 day week if a relative does two picks? If so i would say 170 is excessive and 40 to 50 per day would seem more in line.

    I did.
    Twice.

    There is no mention of monday and Tuesday hence the question and asking if its a 3 day week.
    As i said 40 to 50 a day would be the norm from what I know so if its 170 a week then that's a good deal i would say.
