That would be 4*26=104 hours right? That seems a good amount of time.

I meant it as 26 hours total, but I had my math completely wrong. 40 hours a week * 4 weeks * 1/3rd is 52.8. I had it halfed somehow. But anyway, yeah.

and somehow I STILL have my math slightly wrong. Can I not do arithmetic? 40 * 4 / 3 == 53.33.

Anyway, I guess there some projects that can be done well in 53 hours, but it's still not a huge amount of time. At "USD$450 should be fine as a third of a monthy salary!", that's approximately $9/hour. Really? Okay. If you can find someone willing to take $9/hour for 53 hours of work for a project that really can be done well in 53 hours.... I think my point stands.
