Since @inertia didn't put the daily pay request in this proposal post I had to follow the links to the proposals to figure it out to decide if the proposal even made sense.

Good point, I should have at least listed some kind of amount. I added it just now.

It is kind-of a chicken-and-the-egg experience for these early proposals. I envision the UX improving to the point where proposal creation is a single form. In this case, I wanted to make sure the scope of work was well defined so I could figure out how to fill in the numbers for the actual proposal.

Turns out, I picked 29 days from the datepicker UI, instead of 30. I should have specified exactly 12:00 AM on the first day and 11:59 PM on the last day.
