more then once I've handed a bill to some one for several thousand, that would have cost then less then a $100 to have a pro do it.

I agree for someone with your background or mine TW, but not everyone is willing to take on projects that seem like no brainers to some of us.  I've got no problem doing any minor or major work around the house, I certainly have the skills, I have the knowledge but sometimes, I don't have the inclination....I even have the building codes around here somewhere!

I live in New England, This Old House is on every channel that the Red Sox aren't.....and I hate the Red Sox!!!!!!

My stepdad the lawyer said the same thing. He used to say "I bought my house thanks to people who were too cheap to pay me $500 to read a contract before they signed it,and wound up paying me $15,000 to get out of it". Wise words.

Red Sox sounds like a bad puppet show.
Are they a bit like Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop?

or is it that weird game where you play who's on first?

You'll have to seek other authority on the Red Sox, Sledge.....I'm still a Tigers fan from my youth.....I've been to Fenway Park once (Boston Red Sox) for a double header against Detroit in 1984.  As far as I'm concerned, they suck.....always will...

American baseball is full of dopers, whiners, superstitious dimwits, wealthy owners and overpriced, watered down beer and green hot dogs.....No thanks.....

It's that weird game, They are the Boston, (Local for Tim and I ) team.

TAB, The ones you hand a bill to used the Tim the Tool man approach, (MORE POWER ARGH ARGH ARGH )
The ones you don't hear about used the Bob Villa method (notice he always has hired contractors    )
For the record I prefer Norm Abrams and Old Yankee Workshop  

[TAB]

you guys do know bob villia built a addistion to his house, he didn't get a permit and he didn't build it to code... they made him tear it down.

Trust me when I say this, Norm abrams is not that great of a wood worker.  Thats not to say he does not do good work, but its not great.  let me put it this way, I would not higher him as a sub.

Had to take my wife's Miata (go cart with stereo), to the shop for a bad slave cylinder. Auto Zone has them for $60.00. I could change and bleed the clutch, but it's her "baby" and she called around. (It's her car and she's hard headed),...

Mazda dealership $400-750 bucks +. Plus pilot bearing, pressure plate, the sky is falling, one estimate $1100.00  Local mechanic $241.00.  Picked it up today good as new. Great...

Hello....

Tom?

I thought it was the New Yankee Workshop,.... (Alright I'm a PBS sad watcher), just get me on the Antiques Roadshow!!

Either way, the guy that needs AAA or his roadside assistance plan to change a flat, is the same guy who can't fix his leaky disposal because his wife threw shrimp peelings into it....

He'll be fine in his house. Please tell him congratulations. Plus he has you on call right TAB?

[TAB]

I normally call  AAA when I have a flat, its what I pay them for.

Then again, its almost always a nail or screw.  I've already got it out, patched it and I just need thier compressor to air it back up.
