    Domestic workers who clean house in L.A. get $25 hr. If Ruth gets $30 hr. then her hours worked would get her $3540. Somehow, I doubt her museum quality restoration earns that much...the end product sale price would be too much for Drew to see the profit he wants and needs.

    if you say £60/h which is not much its already £7080 for the work alone. Gold and other materials will add another £1000 I guess... so Drew has to ask for £10000 at least.
