[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 320517, member: 360"]I like restoring items. But you do have to be VERY careful with this stuff. Some items are just NOT possible to restore. And if you screw it up you really CAN destroy its value or desirability forever. I remember my dad took his lawnmower in to get it overhauled. There was this great sign hanging on the wall next to the shop-counter: [U][B]LAWNMOWER SERVICING[/B][/U] [B]$50 an HOUR[/B] If you drop it off. [B]$75 an HOUR[/B] If you need it done fast. [B]$100 an HOUR[/B] If you worked on it before we did.[/QUOTE]
