[AccessD] This looks like a doable project

"A project like this could command any where
 from $25 to $35 dollars per hour plus expenses
 and state gross receipts tax."

...sigh ...there is no way in hell you can make a living charging those 
prices as an independent contractor ...none. I see people bidding $45 and 50 
an hour and tell prospects to call me when the bidder goes out of business 
or fails to do the job ...but it will cost more to fix the mess they made.
