what to charge
a woman wants me to install two bathroom style "fart fans". she wants me to run power to them from existing switches. Two separate rooms. Also she wants me to cut in a vent in the doors of each room to allow air to come in. they are two small rooms in a day spa. anybody got an estimate?

You are not qualified. Go away.

What type of business are these fans going in?
Day work or night work?
So you see, as far as the detail/scope of work you presented...the only correct answer is 8.
