I saved THOUSANDS... THOUSANDS of dollars doing my own repairs/maintenance... and wouldn't have done so absent the huge brain trust of this forum.

Some people have an income (not me!) that is sufficient that it's not worth it to do mechanical work (or plumbing, carpentry, wiring, etc.) It costs more to not be working than it does to hire someone.:ah:
