[QUOTE="1Mudman, post: 4382910, member: 51234"] I understand your rant! Im so tired of people overcharging for services and still not fixing the issue. I have literally filled my garage with tools and parts for things like the Septic System ect.. I had one water well guy brag about buying to other one close to Edmond out and now he's charging double. This Water Well company charge me $350 to fix leak in water line. Previous company charged $100! Earthquakes in the area parted the line twice. I found out the little air pumps on the septic are only $200-$250 after paying $700 several times. It takes less than 5 mins to replace. I stopped and asked a guy working on my neighbors sprinklers last spring and asked him what a tune up would cost. Answer was $135/hr + $100 per sprinkler head!!!. Another project I ended up doing. I had a dryer stop working and went over it with a meter checking thermostats ect. I ended up calling home warranty. They couldnt fix it! said to get a new one. I figured out the exhaust was letting cold air set the exit thermometer to shut off. I simply put a bag deer corn in front of it and now its worked fine for another 4 yrs [/QUOTE]
