I am more than willing to fix things. The problem is that the Fixit Men formed a racket. The price of labor and parts is almost always 50% of the cost to replace.

I will spend more especially when manufacturers warranty is longer.<br /><br />Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-87668489517407606772017-08-16T11:24:47.357-04:002017-08-16T11:24:47.357-04:00I remember, in my far distant youth, a guy kept a ...I remember, in my far distant youth, a guy kept a shop open and made a living fixing toasters and lamps.
