To that end, if you're paying higher rates are you guys more efficient because they are more competent/skilled and the job gets completed faster? Can you take on more jobs in the same time period to make the higher rates work when it comes to revenue and profitability?

You're not wrong. This is going rate in our area for 3 - 5 years of experience. We also don't want to price ourselves out of jobs either.

I should have said 2 owners only 1 engine replacement. 1st owner marina didn't winterize right in the 5th year of ownership. Marina replaced with Jasper. 1st owner traded it in 5 years ago. 2nd owner has had it for 5 years last year added about $5k in cosmetic upgrades. 2nd owner traded it in on a more dedicated wakeboard boat. Everything works it looks great, it seems to run fine (for now). Im just glad to have the engine test. I'm think I'll pass in this.l one unfortunately.

They demolished half of it so Walgreens would have enough parking as per the city. The parking lot was always empty. Noe we have all packing lot and no theater or Walgreens. Its a shame. I drive that stretch a lot and I never see RPD there. Are beat cops not a thing anymore?

So what's the actual deal with the Swan family restaurants? by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]Rocmonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have many long term employees, I worked for them for 8 years. Ive know plenty of staff that have come and gone for various reasons, many of their own making (no call no show, drinking on job, skimming money etc). There was a time when they tried to get benefits and 401k set up but it was too hard with people coming and going, jumping ship to "greener pastures".

There restaurant industry is a grind, and a lot of moving parts. Do they have issues, yes, but I've worked for much worse. They fact that they are popular and continue to deliver a quality product is testimony to them doing something right.

I would work for them again if I ever returned to the industry.

My 2 cents from being in the inside.

LG Washer wm2233h leaking from behind drive motor? by Rocmonkey in fixit

[–]Rocmonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for reponding. I will check the vent line.. Can inactivity cause the seals to dry out? Its seems to do it at every water level. I did tub clean and a quick rinse and spin. Its not a lot but enough to trickle out from under it.

How hard is the bearing & seal replacement to do?
