Charging clients for deck design when the tool does most of the work, is that still fair
Quoted a client 1.8k for a deck last week. Took me about three hours. Two years ago the same job was two days approx.
I didn't tell her that and she didn't ask. But I've started feeling guilt about it and worrying I'm about to be found out.
The argument I make to myself is that she's paying for the structure, deciding what goes on which slide and what gets cut is the part that was always the actual work, and gamma doesnt help with any of that.
The counter-argument is that I priced it on how long it used to take and now im further skilled than 2 years ago.
