Oh boy, there's plumbers under the house as I speak, with a jackhammer,
tearing up a collapsed vintage sewer line and replacing it. One of
those jobs where the final cost only goes up, never down. They just
found a 66-year-old code violation, I wonder who I should complain to
about that? Think the city will apologize and cut me a check for failing
to do the original inspection properly? Har har har har. Ouch.

checkbook??

*CHECKBOOK?????*

A plumber under the house is not a checkbook range of money where I come
from. Maybe for the down-payment deposit, yes. This sounds like a Home
Improvement Loan at least.

Well, provided you ain't laughed at when you go to the bank for the Loan.

Best of luck,
