Ha! $400 estimate to replace a water pump

[guitar man]

$51 for a pump at Autozone + 2 1/2 hours wrench time and it's a done deal.

Poo poo on you high priced auto shop!!! :D

1. That always makes me feel all manly and stuff when I do something like that

You should have seen me after I replaced my toilet. Talk about studly. :)

2. I know

I rewired the kitchen and living room with all new wiring and outlets this weekend. The wife was , ahem, very happy about it :P

7. I changed the starter on my van when I was 16-years-old

That was my most handy moment I ever had.

5. My brother replaced the water pump in his boat

I helped him with the neighbor's. Total savings over $500 in labor. Our neighbor took us out to a very nice dinner, nearly wiping out his savings.

6. damn

That must have been one hell of a dinner :D

[TommyO]

8. It was, but he also brought his wife and our mother

He didn't let us see the bill, but given the cost of the entrees, appetizers, drinks and desserts, it was up there.

9. Not necessarily. If it were MY savings that we were dining on...
