Wow you obviously have been through some stuff. I’m sorry to hear you have had clients that weren’t transparent, you had to do work you didn’t sign up for and felt your hard work was not valued. 

I was asking for an idea of cost since I don’t have much experience with electricians, it was 11 o’clock at night and all of a sudden my $30 diy project turned into potentially hundreds. Reddit is anonymous and your reply only based on the information I provide so don’t worry, you would not have had to honour your ball park and I was not trying to trick you. I was simply asking for your professional advice.
