$40US/hour works out to about $60CDN/hour. I don't know of many people up here getting that amount.

That's an excellent idea, it's the type of thing I had in mind for the "Piping Design Examples" page at
<a href="http://www.pipingdesign.com/designexamples.html">http://www.pipingdesign.com/designexamples.html</a>

I'll start hunting around for some relevant webpages, that type of information would be of great benefit to anyone starting a new project in an unfamiliar field, just as a general background to get up to speed on the process involved. If anyone else finds this type of info, let me know.
