George M. Wachtler v. Wilbur Calnon

Prior to his injury, claimant George M. Wachtler and George Harris, came to Idaho from California seeking employment on a dam being built on the Snake River. On August 10, 1965, while enroute from Boise to Baker, Oregon, where they were going to apply for work, they stopped at the Calnon Floral, a business conducted by Wilbur Calnon in Meridian, Idaho. Harris went into the building and asked Calnon if he and claimant could paint the eaves or fascia of the floral building, a pumice stone structure. Calnon at first declined to give them this work, but subsequently agreed to let the two of them paint the eaves on the building for $20.00, Calnon to furnish the paint, and Harris to furnish the brushes.
