That's fine. I asked what is fair to know what is fair; some plumbers will charge 500$ an hour taking advantage of those ignorant of fair prices. My main concerns were that this was not the tool for the job; if I were to attempt to do all this myself or even hire someone I wouldn't want to spend resources going down the wrong path.
This community seems so lovely. There are even youtube tutorials made by kids on how to do some types of dispensers. It's not that I think this would be easy to do myself, but it is encouraging to attempt to do so for fun. I have until Spring when I intend to publicly launch my nonprofit. There are already two hospice care facilities I plan to visit monthly with my animal starting in summer. I am very inspired, before all my life the only thing I ever wanted was a roof over my head and food for my plate as I often never had that as a child. It's a magical feeling to want anything beyond those two things. I feel so inspired at the good it can do others. Several people have broken down in tears when I told them my plan to help others, knowing how much it would mean to them to partake in spending time with trained farm animals for free for therapy. I'm completely rebuilding the back of my truck cab to be able to load up a mini animal and take it to places. A local teacher overheard me talking about it at the grocery store who is the head of the care for children with disabilities and now I will be able to help children who will benefit from hugging a mini trained cow.
I am so inspired. I really hope that I can do this little tool. If I need to pay someone I will pay them fairly, but I hope that it will be fun and in my ability as this seems like a really fun tool to learn and implement.
I am glad that your wife's equine rescue is going so well. That's lovely. I wish you both nothing but success.
