I know eh? When a tree fell on my SRT8 it just mangled the trunk and smashed the rear window and created maybe a 5mm sized (like maybe half the diameter of a penny for the Americans on here who I know refuse to measure in the metric system) dent in the frame. From that, they found over $28K in damages supposedly.
So insurance just wrote off my car. Which is why I have the S6 now. |

Interesting measurement reference, coming from someone living in a country that doesn't even have pennies any more.....

I recently got a quote to replace 11 feet of upper and lower handrails on our front stairs, plus 22 balusters. That boils down to 22 feet of 2 "x 4" redwood and 44 feet of 1.5" x 1.5" redwood. The quote was $2300.00, without sealer and paint.
So, I did the entire job myself for $400.00, including buying myself a new, cordless nail gun with an extra battery. Jeepers Mr. Science, I know folks have to eat, but...

I can tell you that I last filled up at $2.97/gallon for 93 octane premium gas so there's that. If my calculation is correct you're paying the equivalent of $5.15/gallon? Also, is it 91 octane?

Yep, and the difference in the variations of IPA is the age of the penny and how much or how little mold it has on the surface. The greener they are, the more acidic it will be. Mmmm.

You stated that we were paying $3.79 per liter which would make it $15.16 a gallon. Your words.

So doing some math, let's say the redwood cost the contractor $200.00 (and I'm sure his cost is lower than mine), that leaves $2100.00 labor. I'm certain the contractor could do the job much quicker than me, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say 8 hours. That works out to $262.00 per hour. Yikes!

As such, $2.97 is cheaper than $5.15 |

Seriously? I did a number of times and you're misreading it or misinterpreting it. Either way, I DID NOT SAY YOU'RE PAYING $3.79/LITER.
I wrote: But our GALLON of gasoline is still cheaper than your 3.79 liters! I just explained what it meant and can't do any more than that. Where does it say you're paying $3.79 per liter?? Note there is no Dollar sign before the 3.79 in my statement. (3.79 liters = 1 gallon) |
