opened a big ole can of worms now. lets get a few things into context.

windy's have been pricing jobs by windows or an hourly rate forever, i just wanted to throw in different way maybe to help out with those hard to price accurately jobs. pricing by windows or by the hour are both excellent ways to price in the majority of cases.

i never suggested u use this way, i thought the idea of this forum was that "professionals" could toss ideas around, analysize them and come to an informed opinion as to whether there is any merit. it seems i am wrong. some of u would rather live blinkered and not able to accept there is possibly certain situations where this "could" work in your favour.

some of u think i am suggesting £15 an hour, i wouldn't get out of bed for that and nor would u so get real, read slowly if u need to.

its not over-complicated, even though some run out of fingers at 10. u never bothered to get all the details before dismissing it. and "dazzmond" , is it me ur calling "stupid" or the idea? makes no difference really, just shows how small- minded ppl can be, and just chuck their toys out of their pram and throw a hissy fit.

Sadly, reading slowly is not a workable solution to ambiguous syntax.
However, on re-reading I do see where you are going and it is an interesting idea.
Personally I would find overly complicated but it could be useful when pricing schools or larger complexes.

Reminds me of the bloke who used to amuse himself when on the train by counting how many cows there were in each field.
When asked how he always got it right he replied
"I just count the legs then divide by four"!!!!!!
