The Checkpoint Policy: If a project hits unexpected complications that require significant extra time, I will pause, explain the situation and options to you, and we will agree on how to proceed before any additional billable hours accumulate.

Disposal & Dump Fees: Billed at my standard hourly rate for the loading and transport time, plus the exact cost matching the official disposal facility receipt.
