What insurance is needed for casual outside workers?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Ozmaniac asked:


We live on acreage in Brisbane and need quite a lot of outside work done. Things like brushcutting, weed spraying, gardening, scrub clearing etc We would supply tools and materials etc so the job would suit an unemployed person or a student. What if they are hurt in some way while doing the work? Do we need to take out insurance for them? If so, what type of insurance is it and who should we get it from? I’m pretty sure that normal workers compensation insurance doesn’t apply to workers who are employed by householders.

How do we get insurance companies to reduce medical insurance premiums to employers?

Friday, November 6th, 2009
Begi asked:


Let’s face it, here in the U.S. the medical insurance premiums for group health coverage is rising faster than inflation. As a result, a lot of companies are either reducing the levels of coverage in order to offset the cost of insurance, increasing the deductible, and or increasing the cost to the employees for the insurance premiums.

The problem is that insurance companies have no incentive to reduce insurance premiums. They continue to get record profits and this issue is out of control.

How do we get the insurance companies to decrease insurance premiums to the rate of inflation, or better yet, start reducing the cost of premiums for a change?

The previous owner of our house on North Brunswick, NJ gave us the pleasure of cleaning up a lot of stored trash behind the garage. It is like metal scraps, bricks, old mattress, etc. I am trying to rent one of those big dumpsters/containers but cannot seem to locate one. Anybody have any ideas. Again, I live in North Brunswick, New Jersey.

Thanks everyone.

MinniganGirl asked:


I want to know how you tell if a dumpster is sure to deliver treasures? Full, empty, things next to it, a feeling, etc? For example: My Dad used to go to car washes. He said that people throw a lot away there. And sometimes people go to dumpsters other than their home to dump stuff. What are your feelings or clues?

How do I go about covering a plaster wall with drywall?

HoneyB asked:


I took some wainscotting off of the wall and rather than scrape away the adhesive (there is a lot!), I’d like to put a 1/4 inch sheet of drywall over it. I would like to do the work myself, but I’ve never done it before. Could someone please tell me what materials I will need for this task, and the best way to go about it? Thanks.
