Pay him by the hour.
Pay him what you would expect to work for.

A large box of candy, or goodies like pie, cake, etc. would make me want to
come over and do more work!
But basically accept his kindness and say thank you! People who are giving
types like to give and do things for other people. The kindness they show
other people comes back in many different forms. Money is not necessary!
(This concept is impossible for the younger "me generation" people to
understand!)

I agree with the idea of a home baked cake ... but I always agree with
cake. ;-)

Ah, a man after my own heart! My sister knows that when I'm slaving
on her house, if she brings home some sweets I consider myself the
lucky one.
I am very glad that when I'm on the other side of the table the people
don't know that Entenmann's Rich Frosted donuts are my Kryptonite.
I'd cave on just about anything if they had an open box on their side
of the table! ;)
