That's why "book time" is based on a newbie that has no idea what they're doing.

Fairly common for a job that gets charged out at X hours to only need X/2 hours. And then there's work that gets charged at shop mechanic rate but gets partly or completely done by an apprentice/assistant.

But being from the rust belt, I know what you mean about corrosion.
