First, isn't Spunky funny? He was my sweet big boy, a Maine Coon mix, and he liked to play with water if it was in a tub like in the photo or if it trickled from a faucet.
Well, the Roto Rooter man fixed the spigot and gave me a discount, or so he said.
Given the nature of the work required which included replacing the whole spigot and to do that he had to saw a section of the skirting in order to get to the problem I thought his quote of $400 was to be expected but he did give me a discount of $100. It's expensive for me but I suppose that's what people charge for those kinds of jobs anymore ...... besides, when was the last time you heard of a cheap plumber? And, if you have, did he do a good job?
So, that's fixed, now to get it paid off and hope I can get the project I hoped to do done next year.

Nice of him to give you a discount. Plumbing and electrical work are expensive these days. Here is to help you pay it off!

@rebelann I have been dealing with the kids all summer. The twins are a force to be reckoned with! I will be glad when school starts on the 28th.

such a cute picture! some carpenters and plumbers charge okay here, but then, you shell out a lot for the materials they need so the job still costs a lot in the end.

@rebelann some jobs are just too big (or complicated) and if you can find a competent person who does good work, it's worth it.

I think it was worth it @hereandthere I doubt I could have done such a nice job.
