Show some pictures of your mess, as you call it... that would be interesting.
As well, I get customers, who come in several times a year, with new ideas; and 9 times out of 10... it has already been built, and a little research on Google can reveal this now days.
I had one guy, who came in, with weekly meetings, for me to invent this great new way to dispense ink on a printing presses. He paid me for each meeting... and the 5th meeting... I order one sample, from Atlanta, GA and had it on my desk...
He nearly freaked out... he thought I had made it!!!! NO, I had just ordered an example. It was invented 5 years earlier, in Europe.
Good luck...
