That probably puts his labor rate about $75.00 and hour.  Takes about 30 to
35 minutes to set up and attempt to pull a fighting stud that doesn�t want
to come loose.  Then 15 to 20 minutes from the time it snapped to drill out
and replace.  Very cheap labor rate for today. (depending on part of
country)
