[nq:1]OUCH. Does that mean a new car, a new transmission, or will you have it rebuilt? Any way you look at it, it's costly. :-([/nq]
Rebuilt. $2300. That's probably a professionally installed fence right there. Or the cost of paying someone else to do the floors.
[nq:1]I had my Caravan's trans rebuilt last spring, and it was around $900- and that was at "wholesale" price. (We job out our transmission rebuilds to a specialty shop out in Reisterstown, and they gave me a courtesy discount.)[/nq]
Right now I'd kill to have your job.

[nq:1]My full set of breaks cost more the that on my Explorer nearly 1.5 years ago. $1100.00 total. I about fell out.[/nq]
That probably wasn't just for new brakes(a normal "brake job"), Gwen.

It probably included new rotors, calipers, bearings, or grinding, etc.

Which also probably means that you didn't pay any attention to that awful, high-pitched rubbing sound that was emanating from underneath your car until it was too late. Emotion: sad

Indeed and that is what I meant by full set of breaks. I guess that wasn't exactly the right term. But it did include all of the above.

Actually it didn't occur. DH drove it as well. Kind of strange. This vehicle has a different kind of noise then the high pitch you typically expect to hear. It is a low grumble rumble grind. I know it now and I take it in when it first hear any sound similar.

Plus, you probably usually drive with your windows rolled up, too, right?
Cars are so well-insulated and sound-proofed these days that it's very hard to hear those brake sensors squeaking when the windows are rolled up.
[nq:1]It is a low grumble rumble grind.[/nq]
That's the sound you hear when it's already too late, and it's usually an awfully expensive sound, too.
[nq:1]I know it now and I take it in when it first hear any sound similar.[/nq]
Listen for any sound at all, and it's usually a high-pitched squeaking sound.
And that's precisely the time to take it in.

Well not for most of the drive since I am a smoker. I keep the window partially rolled down when smoking.

Actually it did it again, but I took it in immediately. It needed the whatevers turned??? At any rate again
no high pitched squeeking that you would expect to hear.

My DH's Chevy truck did that every 20,000 miles. I know that sound very well. But I swear my SUV never made this sound.

Gwen Watson:

I am curious about something. Yesterday I posted
it "made no sense" to put in a fence that was
less then 5' tall or more. Of course I realize
that was very over generalized statement.
At any rate I am wondering about people
who have 4' fences and how they keep
neighbors dogs out that can climb, scale
or jump 4' fences in seconds flat. As several
mentioned not even a 6' would keep their
dogs in. So how do 4' fences keep other
dogs out? Even when supervised in my neighborhood
a neighbor dog could be in my yard quite quickly,
especially in the wooded part if all I had was
a 4' fence that many dogs are able to jump. I
haven't seen many dogs that are able to actually
jump over 5' fencing. My fencing is the
"no climb" kind that Debbie S mentioned yesterday.

The neighbors down from our property have at least 5 dogs. Three of which are untrained,
unsupervised GSDs from pretty poor
breeding. And I am fairly certain if I had a 4' they would be in my yard night and day all the time.
I am just wondering about this. This is why
we installed taller fencing. Not to mention
I didn't find it that much more of costly
around here. It was certainly worth it
in our situation.

Easy Gwen. Maybe they don't have neighbors with dogs. Or the dogs are only outside supervised, or don't challenge fences. If I were to have the yard fenced and opted to go with 4', that would be sufficient to keep both dogs my in. Our nextdoor neighbors don't have dogs. Most of the people in our neighborhood who have dogs also have fences their dogs don't generally escape from. The others are only taken out on-leash. All are house dogs.

It was very apparent that they had him designed for lunch in mind.

So my fence keeps in my dogs, but apparently does not keep out JRT puppies (very small) or medium sized but athletic coyotes. When they exited, there were no issues or obstacles in their rapid exit over my 4 foot fences.

Since coyotes killed a pair of health coon dogs (large dogs)last year down the road that were allowed out for their last pee at night, and within a half hour, were dead by coyotes, I guess even adequate fencing for our own dog's needs is very short sighted. So Gwen, you've made some valid points.

Indeed in that situation. In my situation with these rapid dogs below our property it wouldn't work.
As I said they are not supervised, they are
not fenced. My next door neighbor no
longer allows her 8 year old in their own yard
because of these dogs that run onto her property.
They apparently are not able to get onto my property. The fencing is keeping them out, thank goodness.
But I know for certain had we installed a 4' fence on our 2 acres those dogs would be in our
yard daily. And I would not ever be able to
let Reznor out even supervised.
