The cost has little to do with the washers. Your paying for – the person who made them, the equipment he made them on – the expense for the building they were made in – the making of bag they come in – the printing of the bag – putting them in the bag – numbering the bag – the expenses of the building they sit in till someone needs some – a few cents for the living expenses of all the people involved, and so much more. I’d be surprised if the supplier would sell them to you at wholesale anyway as its against his own best interest undercutting their biggest customer. Its not the water you’re paying for when you buy a bottle of water. If you own a business, or know someone that does, you a get a better understand of what things cost.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
