There would be more money spent “planning the project” than just doing the work.  I am all for specifications and project planning for something that will take more than 4 or 5 hours or is in some way vague, but that is not required on simple jobs. They are just priced out of my reach, I wish they were not but I don’t have hundreds of users to pass this on to.  I would rather send the FS team the money than anyone else, but not at that premium.
