    How long does it take to change power heads

    This is part of my point ......it doesnt need the leading expert to do such a job , the boy who sweeps the floor could do it . I cant believe you couldnt spend 40 mins ( remember you would get paid for the time ) of your life , send the guy away happy to tell everyone what a great bunch of guys...

    How long does it take to change power heads

    We call it gouging , greedy people tack on every extra they can and expect peeps to be stupid enough to pay . A dealer could just swap the powerhead , stick in a china gasket and charge for the time spent , end of . Instead the potential customer leaves after such an attempted assault on...

    50th Anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald's demise
