However, this then leads to other issues in that client deadlines slip and business integrity would suffer badly as spare time building is strictly for hobbyists and not for a viable business venture as this is being proposed. Just something everyone on both sides would need to seriously consider to gain the best solution to doing this in a professional manner.

EDIT addition: That said, a retired person could well do this for $10/h to add to their retirement fund, but having worked all your life, you may not want to. It's a difficult one as everyone considers mass produced china based pricing as a benchmark rather than looking at real World an local cost of living and wages. Just something else to consider.
