Garage Door Opener Installation



Question:
Monday night, I helped my SIL install a new Chamberlain Whisper garage door opener. I won't say how long it took us to install it, but it took a while. My SIL is good with tools, and has lots of them. I am no slouch, either. But, being the first one we put up ........................ Long story short, we got it up. I hadn't put one of these types together before, and there are a couple of differences. This morning, Lowe's had the same opener for sale. Installation ......................... 59 bucks! FWIW, my daughter wanted us to put it up and save some money and "bond". I am going to ask her if next time she wants us to "bond", could we go to a titty bar or go fishing. Hell, I would have been happy to pay half the installation fee, and had my Monday night free. Also, if there's a problem, no problem. Just call them and have them come out and fix it. I like DIY stuff, but sometimes, paying isn't a bad alternative if the installation fee is reasonable. A guy who installs these things regularly is in and out and gone line smoke.

Answer:
Going on a trip this weekend..I changed my oil $ 4.55 (4Qt) & Fram filter $ 3.85 for a total of $ 8.40 Took about half an hour. Being retired, my time was worth the near $ 20.00 difference once you add in the taxes etc I have 3 vehicles so you can see this adds up over the year. While I was at it, I topped up all the fluids (battery, brake fluid, radiator) air in the tires and put on two new mufflers as well. Now, shes ready for the road !
