We’re having solar panels
put on our roof.
The company quoted us
two days of work
to do that.
The team they sent
did it
in one day.
The price was the same
and we were fine
with it being the same.
Because the team
they sent
had years of experience.
They finished quickly
(and completed their tasks well)
because they were seasoned professionals.
We were paying for
that experience,
not the actual time.
We were paying
to ensure
the roof didn’t leak
and everything was firmly attached
and working.
If you’re hiring a professional,
you’re paying for their experience,
not merely their time.
If they finish early,
that’s their business.
