What's your hourly rate by the way? I am wondering if you actually lost money while inquiring about these repairs. If you make 100$ an hour, it's just 9 hours of your work to buy a new one. Basically one working day + a smidge.
- kwhitefoot 5y agoThat calculation only makes sense if you can actually find 9 hours of work that will pay you in money. If you are a salaried employee your time is not always exchangeable for money quite so easily. In my career as an engineer I was never able to work extra time and get paid for it in any other currency than time off in lieu.
- Johnny555 5y agoIt took less than an hour to schedule the service call, less time than it took to choose and order a replacement. (And that took 2 visits because the first one had some damage) I would have technically have lost money if I spent a weekend doing the repair myself. But if I did the work myself, I would have considered it as entertainment, not lost time. I spent half a day replacing a pump in my dishwasher, and enjoyed doing the work.
