As said, it is just not cost effective to have someone fix stuff anymore..we live in a throw-away society..

So your frig breaks down...do you call a guy who gets $75 for a house call ???
only to have him tell you your frig is broken and you need new one, or do you just go get a new one and justify it to .... "Well, it was 10 years old anyway .."

A guy who can fix "STUFF ".. will definately have a lot less trouble getting by today than a guy who is only proficient in using the yellow Pages..

A few years back Newsweek had a cartoon of a housewife screaming at her under the sink plumber .." $ 45 for a House call ???? !!!! ..my Doctor doesn't even charge that much !!! " ..to which the plumber replies ..' Yeah lady, .. I know ..that's why I gave it up ...."
