I disagree with your math. He spent $100 and 3 hours labor to do a $500 job. That is a $400 savings.
To make that $400 and pay a 30% income tax let alone the sales tax on that money that means he would have to "earn" $520 to pay someone else $400 for the added price that they charge.
The $520 divided by the 3 hours of labor it cost him means the savings was $173 per hour for his time.
I like that math better. Savings always looks better on paper.
I agree with your specific math Tim, but what i was offering was a comparison to what a standard shop rate cost break down would be, not against the actual job specified.
So few shops actually fix components anymore, what Jerry fixed for 100 and 3 hours of troubleshooting and ingenuity, few will even attempt, they just swap stuff.
So I based my math on that premise.
I’ve had to explain to my kin, many times that just cause the posted shop rate in any given auto shop may say “$100/hr”, the auto tech is NOT making that..

All good stuff, Love running these hypotheticals with you gents!
My youngest, my boy, my heir apparent turns 25 today.
Made him his own bog oak ring to match his sister and mom’s rings. While theirs are 4mm width, his is 6 mm. For a bigger finger length it just makes sense. This is a size 10, his mitts are bigger than his dads..

Cheers men.
Very nice Mike, very nice. :tu :bow
None of us boys could come close to the size of my dad's hands. Well they weren't really hands they more like Paws! I have a picture of him holding a certificate for an idea he came up with for Green Giant and he's wearing a GG service ring on his left ring finger. I can take that ring, put it on my right thumb and it just wobbles all over/probably 4-5 sizes bigger I swear.
Banana hands.
Like shaking hands with a bunch of banana's.
