Sure, I get it, but no.
Sometimes you just need someone with a little dexterity and a willingness to care about their work.
That person shouldn't be billed out at hundreds of dollars per hour, especially when they're almost certainly being paid closer to $15.
"The Handyman's Invoice" is apocryphal in the details, but almost certainly true in that something basically like it happens all the time.
" The Graybeard engineer retired and a few weeks later the Big Machine broke down, which was essential to the company’s revenue.
The Manager couldn’t get the machine to work again so the company called in Graybeard as an independent consultant.
Graybeard agrees. He walks into the factory, takes a look at the Big Machine, grabs a sledge hammer, and whacks the machine once whereupon the machine starts right up.
Graybeard leaves and the company is making money again.
The next day Manager receives a bill from Graybeard for $5,000.
Manager is furious at the price and refuses to pay.
Graybeard assures him that it’s a fair price.
Manager retorts that if it’s a fair price Graybeard won’t mind itemizing the bill.
Graybeard agrees that this is a fair request and complies.
The new, itemized bill reads….
Hammer: $5 Knowing where to hit the machine with hammer: $4995 "
