Yesterday, I came to realize how important it is to have laborers who can make our lives easier!
It was because we had a clogged toilet potty after my son dropped a big bath soap in it and it got stucked, preventing the water to go down! So we could not use it for days. Good thing we still have two comfort rooms in our home.
My husband exerted a lot of pressure to remove the soap, to no avail. Then he saw the men working in a construction site near us, and he asked one of them if they know how to unclog it. One laborer came and did it for about 30 minutes. It was a yucky job!
We were so thankful and we paid him about $6.5 or P350 Php for that 30 minutes job. It was costly, but it's worth the price for a job that only a workingman can do!

It can get really interesting when things clog up what should not be clogged!

Yes, the reason I thought they are "blessings" to us who could not do those kinds of jobs.

Yes, it is a very "unikely" job;so it is good to pay them a good one for that job.

@acelawrites I agree. That work was worth the payment you gave.
