I get you C.C. I just brought my snowmobile trailer to my 85 year old mechanic to replace the hubs. It is getting almost impossible to find people who can still fix stuff, especially appliances.....throw it away and get a new one (that doesn't last.) Now my John Deere tractor has a fuel leak, and I don't have the time or experience to fix it. I have a mechanic friend who recently retired who will likely end up with the job, but he won't charge me for his time because he says that he doesn't want to "go back to work."
In the last five years, I have replaced 3 refers, and a dishwasher. I spent an entire day replacing the dishwasher because it required a major plumbing redo in the kitchen. Today I am headed to the shack because the 24' steel bridge washed out....we have spent two days getting it back in place, but now have to build some ramps for it because much of the bank has washed out. That I can do, as carpentry is right up my alley.
