FYI as recovering mechanic . The rates are the book rate or whatever
it takes Bill the longest .
If you come to me and want a custom exhaust I am going to charge you
what it take to make that exhaust.  Your car off the showroom floor is
the Joomla std package. Any options will be billed extra and just like
you car I will have to read the instructions and figure out how to
install the roof rack.
Figuring stuff out is part of your job and in any other trade you get
paid for your time so why should working with Joomla  be any different
?
When you come to me and say I want a 3 " exhaust with this carb and
that cam etc I will charge you time and materials as I don't know all
the implications.
After all a doctor gets paid for diagnosis , so should we !!!
Consider yourself architects and you are creating the master blueprints
Even is the house does not get built you should get paid for your time.



snip
Auto mechanics have a book that says how many hours to charge for each
job. Is there a similar thing for Joomla tasks so I can price work I
don't yet know how to do without making the customer pay for my direct
education
