THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the repair. And that included a 15% discount, & no fee for the service call since we have a plan. $300 for 10 minutes. Unreal.
Johnso,

We're both in the wrong profession. I purchased an investment/rental property in Tucson this summer. (Sept.) Had Merry Maids come in to do a general house cleaning, with windows and carpets. Four hours later, I'm down ~$700.

$700 to clean windows, carpets, and cupboards? YGTBFSM!! (In only 1/2 days work.)

P.S. That might be the going rate these days, but I'm a pilot darnit, my CFI days still has me ordering from the $1 menu at McDonald's.
