Freeing up guitar money

[BatUtilityBelt]

I hate being taken for a ride. When I had my business in the early 2000's, I hired people to do most things because my schedule was always full. There was one issue where I had a plumber "take care of" a slow kitchen drain. My wife said he spent a total of 2 hours there, and he replaced a 13 foot section of PVC pipe fully accessible (exposed in the unfinished basement ceiling). He charged me over $600. Most expensive PVC on the planet, and PVC work is as easy as plumbing ever gets.

Oh yes, that too was one of the reasons I started learning and doing all the things I could. Some times you are charged a fair amount, but some other it is plain ridiculous.

Most simple plumbing is way overpriced. But, the not-so-simple stuff......

I hire a lot of stuff out now because I just don't have time. But, as my wife says, "he's handy enough that it doesn't make sense to hire someone, but not so handy that it goes smoothly."

I lost a day and a half to installing a new kitchen vent fan.

(shudders.....)

Planned obsolescence is the pits. I have read that there's a 100 year-old light bulb still burning in the Manhattan undergrounds.

Found it. https://www.ydr.com

There's one in California, too.

So, what are you going to get with that $430 you just saved?

Ha, not sure yet. It might just be making up for the two SX Liquids I bought this month (#2 arrives tomorrow).

Did it arrive?

It did! After a setup, it's perfect! Pictures don't do it justice. The CAR is a great color.

Great! HNGD! It looks real nice indeed, it´s a different red.

Now, is there anything else that you could DIY, so you can free more guitar money?
