I've had similar situations happen over the years with cars, but I think
the same principle applies. The yard should do the labor for free, but
the parts should probably be yours. If they are able to replace the new
parts with the old without degrading the over all condition, then I
would have them do that. You should pay for the new parts but not the
labor, since you were inconvenienced. I would take the attitude of
trying to work it out so no one feels screwed over. If they want your
business and your friends' business going forward, then they'll be
willing to work with you. Mistakes happen, and neither party should have
to pay through the nose.

I guess you're unaware of it, but your posts aren't wrapping lines.
Or should I say "line?"


?? My reader auto-wraps at the right margin, pretty much what I expect
these days.



Mine does also, which is why I didn't see it. But, some don't. Mia culpa for
not being sensitive to backward compatibility issues.
