I think the problem with most customers / clients is that they equate the work charged to what they get paid.
Someone earning 20k a yr gets a tradesman to do the job and they work out thats like double what I earn in a day, you tradesman must be loaded, but forget all the training, knowledge, low income whilst building up your experience, also downtime between jobs.
Perhaps watching youtube videos has trivialised the work?
Early on I soon realised I was not very good at DIY and totally underestimated the time it takes to do a job, sure that will take half an hour, half a day later I'm still not half finished. My DIY skills start and stop at painting and some minor odd jobs.
