They would have to just hang out and not really be able to leave for 5-6 hours while our other friend is working, but could do their own thing. Basically they are just there for safety reasons if anything happens to our friend doing the work who we have a fair price established. First friend has a lot of sedentary hobbies so boredom isn't a risk but I want to treat them fairly.

    Depends on how attentive they'd have to really be. If they've really gotta be there watching then like $50 seems in the right range. If they're just there to be someone else around in case they hear a loud thump or lights flickering and can just kinda duck around, I dunno, I would leave em a couple beers and some weed and then make them a meal after. To be clear I'd throw the $50 on top of the beer weed and meal cause that gets a bit past favor territory and into real ass work. If they just need to be there and can entertain themselves that's less of a thing, but 5-6 hours is a good bit of time, so yeah, booze drugs and a meal seems appropriate
