And I wonder what kind of bill he gets for those talents.


Who says she is sending ME a bill !!!


Speaking of Rules of Plumbing (or any DIY project) I have one that my
dad taught me many years ago.

"If you have to go to the hardware store three times on the same
project, go to a different hardware store."

I've done this on a couple of occasions. Three trips in one day is a
sad site.


I know the feeling - I all too often end up going to Home Depot twice
in a day and there have been those 3x occassions. The people there all
know me well, including the guy at the returns desk. A couple of weeks
ago, a sales person asked me whether I will ever be done with my house
and I said it will never be done -- in fact, I feel like I have barely
started or even scratched the surface... sigh
