[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 590512, member: 1211"] That sounds high, but I've seen quotes to replace a $15 Moen faucet cartridge, which takes ten minutes for a tradesman, for $300. Water heaters today are made like junk, too. Big Surprise. I was told if you get 10 years out of a new one, you're on the lucky side. Same for water softeners. An older lady down the street just had her softener replaced, and the first estimate was $1800 or $2000. I honestly don't know how people are going to do it. If you're replacing these kinds of things every 10 years or less, who is going to be able afford it? Nothing against the trades, but geez, it's nuts. Are they going to have to get in there with a shop vac and suck up all that water and clean it up? Maybe that is why it is so high? 66° and sunny. Beautiful day. Stanwell with 5 year old LNF. Another caramelly, fine smoke. 7/10. [/QUOTE]
