Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ok, thanks! I'm cautiously optimistic and am hoping it's not too labor-intensive or difficult. Will let you know when I get it!

Yes, I think 50 is fair, but never hurts to ask if they will take less! If it comes with the replacement kit, all the better, although they don't need replacing often. I am excited for you!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 It is not labor intensive at all-probably 5 minutes to get it set up, then maybe a minute or two of maintenence per week.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Out of curiosity, I looked at the Craigslist in my area. There is one listed for $100. Sounds like you got a good deal! *Rena* If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Happy moments, *praise* God. Difficult moments, *seek* God. Quiet moments, *worship* God. Painful moments, *trust* God. Every moment, *thank* God. > ** > > > It is not labor intensive at all-probably 5 minutes to get it set up, then > maybe a minute or two of maintenence per week.
