I don't watch much tv, but the radio commercial I hate with a passion is the State Farm "Someone burnt down my She-Shed" commercial. I could live the rest of my life without ever hearing it again and be happy.
When you realize you've wasted all this time and energy trying to save a buck... I've been there. Good luck getting it up and running like it should, hope you get it all straightened out! If not, put that b**** back on craigslist or see what the lawnmower guy will give you. He might run...
