Sure ya are. But as per RH77's statement V1, I'm not looking at what you situation is, I'm looking at what mine is as per the statement.

Sure, but I'm talking about my situation WRT statement V1, not yours or anyone else's.

You were given time too. Initially 30 days, but in a reasonable comparison, 3-5 days, since most of what I do doesn't take a month, but can often take more than a day. And fuel use...

It's cherry picking because it's not my situation wrt statement V1, it's a mix.

I'm pretty sure the majority of jobs can be considered repetitive.
That being said, tools for said jobs aren't as expensive as having them done IME. This too is YMMV, as it depends on how well you can repair stuff, including tools, and all sorts of things, but it's definitely possible to get a buncha tools for not too much cash.

But UHaul rental rates appear to be the same, registration varies from state to state around 1 rental or so (we'll say yours is the low end, mind is on the higher end). Mileage does vary from person to person (so I've made effort to include the approx mileage you implicitly provided)..... What, specifically, are you looking for?

My use as per a counterexample to the statement V1. Now, you can use your own situation, but that's hardly something that applies to what I can do wrt the statement V1.
Like I said...
