I had a plumber out today to install new faucets in a sink and a tub, replace one cartridge, and fix one leak. He showed me the estimate. I almost fell over. "Is it more than you thought it would be?" he asked. His bill was twice as high as my highest guess. But what choice do I have? I have a lot of skills and strengths but plumbing is not one of them. He is in there now working away, banging on pipes, grunting, and breathing heavy. I'm paying good money for every noise he makes so I am going to enjoy each one.
