<*whispering so as not to taunt the plumbing gods*>
I haven't had to call a plumber in the past few years. However, there are a couple renovation projects that I'd like to do that will require a plumber's skills, so I may be calling one in the relatively near future.

We were late bloomers, as we didn't get our first computer until around 1996. It was a Gateway desktop, and we started out on AOL dialup.

I've had so many plumbers here in the last few months that I don't want to think about it!
Our own plumber has had the fix the mess left by the so called emergency plumbing company that we were signed up to. They couldn't fix a leak that led to the entire kitchen being replaced- see below.
I've just got the monies that we sued that company for.
