It pays to hire good people!

Today I had a big plumbing dilemma. C and I spent two hours at the home center store on Sunday trying to pick out fixtures for the bathroom. Our installation is a little unusual, so it was very confusing. Today, after showing the information to the plumber on the job it seemed that our set up would not work without an expensive installation of additional lines. I called the plumbing company owner's nephew, who he left on call in his absence. (In case this is confusing - the guy I contracted with owns the company. He's on vacation, and left a licensed plumber in charge who used to work for him. His nephew works at the company too) After spending 15 minutes trying to work it out on the phone, he offered to come over. I suggested we meet at the plumbing supply company. We sat down with a sales rep and mangaged to figure it out in 20 minutes, and I got his trade discount. I was also able to order a lot of the other stuff I needed. It made me glad I hired the right people rather than the cheapest.

I went back to the home center store and actually got the rest of my order placed. What a sense of relief. It's a huge burden off my back.

I knocked off early to spend the afternoon with my mom.
