I'm not discussing this anymore because we are the complete opposite sides, so it's fruitless. If I get it right you think a customer should pay what the job is worth, or the amount of hours it could have taken, regardless of the actual hours. Your hourly rate should be set to cover all expenses, without having to charge more hours than you actually spend on a job. If your schedule isn't full, then work harder on marketing or selling your services better.Here is where the agitation started.
And, as I stated earlier, the job should cost what it's worth. I would not even begin to speculate what that cost would be without standing there with you and the boat.
Ps that's not fraud and I would still seriously like to hear the answer to my question with no comparison involved.
I don't agree with you, let's leave it at that. If you don't know my answer to your question yet, that's on you. I'm not here to troll on you, so please don't.
