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.
