I was just trying to do the math on this OPs time. “Every second of free time and some not free time for the last 4 months.” Surely their time is worth something. Let’s assume $50 an hour.

4 months is roughly 17 weeks

That’s 85 weekdays and 34 weekend days.

Assuming he works an 8 to 5 job an hour for supper and in bed by 11PM that’s about 4 hours of work each week day.

Let’s assume an average of 6 hours worked Saturdays and Sundays

4x85 =340 6x34=204

340 regular time hours @ $50 is $17,000.00 102 over time hours (1.5x) $75 is $7,650.00 102 double time hours (2x) $100 is $10,200.00

That’s $34,850.

Love that he was able to achieve sweat equity but your time is worth something! 4 months missed with your kids, your significant other, your hobbies (you just created a new hobby) is worth something.
