Re: OT - ongoing plumbing saga.

LOL - not only the spider thing Andrea, but he didn't get here until 12:30
yesterday and he said he'd be here in the morning.  I asked him about that
and he said, well I didn't come earlier because I'd get all dirty and have
to go home and change clothes!!   I just looked at him and shook my head.
This guy is so WAY in the wrong line of work.  OMG!!
I should have turned the hose on him to see if he said he didn't like
getting wet........
