Plumbing Revisited

Given the hectic nature of the past few days, I wanted to put up a quick post with a happy ending.

Yesterday morning our ceiling was leaking again. I was so frustrated that Laura and I talked seriously about cutting out a large portion of the ceiling and not repairing it for a few months simply to make sure no more problems would arise.

David the Plumber came over in the mid-afternoon to take a look. Not only did he talk us out of cutting out the ceiling, he fixed what turned out to be a different plumbing problem: an O-ring broke. After shaking my hand and saying that I'm an alright guy, I asked how much I owed him. His response? 'How much do you want to give me? Got $5? You can give me that.'

It was a nice, money saving ending to what was an otherwise stressful and money draining day.
