    See, this is what irritates me - my clients often have no appreciation of just how much some of this stuff costs.

    The machinery alone to do stuff like that likely costs 100k+, then there's safety requirements to be adhered to, then there's the cost of decent materials, finishing, etc etc.

    Despite working two summers as an electrical apprentice, I'd hardly consider myself qualified enough to do a commercial wiring solution for something outdoors = outsource at cost.

    Shit adds up, yo.

    It's like the equivalent of the old complaint to web designers -
    "but my brother in law's neighbour's son is into computers -
    he could do that much cheaper!"

    • Actually, my clients are alright - I was directing this at enquiries from potential clients.detritus
