an x gf up in Michigan called last night and we chatted a bit and she needed some help around her house .... like changing a light bulb in the micro wave .... she is the least DIY person on the planet .... So I looked up TAKL for her ... FIFTY THREE DOLLARS ! .... plus I would assume the cost of the bulb !!

But pacMan ... this is simple handyman service.
I totally understand if it was a licensed skilled trade like an electrician or HVAC guy. etc They'd charge $103

Wow I just changed 3 bulbs for a neighbor for her outside light. I even took over my own screwdriver. Between bringing tools, 30 degree weather, and three bulbs I should have charged 200.00 plus tip. Lol

Speaking of cheap we had a telephone pole on fire 1.5 miles from my house last week and we lost power for three hours. I laid one of those blue free LED lights from Harbor Freight on my coffee table pointing towards the ceiling and it was still going strong three hours later. Worked like a charm.

Being that inept comes at a price. If changing the microwave light is that important to her she's either gonna have to shell out the cash or find a handy friend a little closer than the Doc. The handyman has to eat too, and he'd starve to death running around town chasing $10 bills all day. For all you know, she could be in her twilight years
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

Worked like a charm. those hobo fright light work SO good, i got 'em spread everywhere around the house and garage, and i make it a point to get more every time i'm near the store. same goes for those red/blue two pack tiny flashlights for less than $3. i have those everywhere as well. THIS STUFF ^^^^^^ is about the bestest ideas out of Pennsylvania in a LONG TIME Hobo lights ? ... am I hearing these two might be converting their entire property to THIS and telling the local power company to EAT CAKE ? Could it be that they BOTH secretly work for Hobo Fright ?

I like the looks of that sucker
