Dropped it late morning, picked it up the afternoon. Nice heavy duty 1/4" thick schackles and wet bolts. do enough of them with all the tools and it's probably pretty quick and easy. Well worth the 2 hrs labor rate. Give me another weekend to camp instead of working on the trailer.
If they only charged you 2 hours, then you did good. One rusted up bolt and you can burn 20 to 30 minutes dealing with it. Out of curiosity what is a shop hour now a days? $75/hr?
$90/hr. Several shops would only quote hourly rate, no limit. This one basically did it "flat rate". Said they had done enough that a flat rate of 2hours averaged out for them.
As much as I like/want to do my own work, I certainly did not relish the though of spending the first nice weekend of the spring doing it, or working on it on a rainy portland weekend.
