I am late for work and I'm going out the door right after this post. And he did charge an arm and a leg. Apparently, my door never had a part installed that it should have. Consequently, my door has been over-stressed for the past 8 years. So, he put in that part, two springs, and changed out all the rollers. I'm not sure I really needed all the rollers replaced, but since I do know at least a couple needed to be replaced, I let him do them while he was here anyway. The main thing I probably got overcharged for were the springs. I saw them for $50 a piece on the internet, but he charged $120 each, not including labor. All tolled, $540 to fix my door. And that followed the $1,065 I spent on my car two Saturdays ago.

Good morning everyone! ![]() Glad you got your garage door fixed, IE. Sorry it cost so much to get fixed. You could almost buy a new one for that price I would think. Glad Cindy has made some progress in getting well. Broken bones are major nuisance. Hope you enjoy your week off, Intrepid. Woo! Warner is getting a new-ish car! ![]() Maybe you will win something next time, Mel. -------

As soon as we pick up Mel, we'll be over. In fact, I'm feeling so generous, I'll do the dishes after we eat your food MFive. ![]() 24 and Mel, How about on the way home we go take a peek at Warner's new car? |

^^^ It is going to be a van, although I haven't seen it yet. Our mechanic is towing our broken down car to his home today. But once we get the van, you're all invited to go joy riding with me.

^^^ Yep! I trust our mechanic a lot, since we are probably going to be buying this vehicle sight unseen. I just realized that what I wrote above is not entirely correct. We will see and drive the vehicle first.
