tschu Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Our dryer started making a really loud squeaking noise when it first started up. I googled that sh#t, bought a $17 part online, spent a half hour tearing the dryer apart and putting it in, and it now works perfectly. Look up an estimate for a repairman to do the same and it was like $130-150 dollars. Jesus christ. Quote Link to comment

Well maybe if it weren't for people like you who google how to do something and fix it yourself, they would get more business and not charge so much Don't worry, I do that too. Quote Link to comment

The latter part includes more than just the time it would take a person to actually diagnose and fix it, but also travel time to your residence (with costs built in there as well, including gas and vehicle maintenance). Convenience for you is also added in, since it's a house call, rather than you bringing the unit to a shop. It's just how businesses are run. Quote Link to comment

Also, if these repairmen are self-employed they still pay taxes on the money and carry their own health insurance. There is a lot more to it than just sticking the $130 in their pocket.

NUance Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Large crater appears at the 'end of the world' By The Siberian Times reporter15 July 2014 Mysterious 'gigantic' hole in remote region spotted by helicopters over gas-rich Yamal peninsula. LINK This crater is *really* deep. They still haven't figured out just how deep. And it's sort of weird that the translation for the name of this place is "end of the world". Freaky weird.
