To Paraphrase the Old Joke.....

....It's the plumber. He's come to take my money. When I had the maintenance on the AC done earlier this month the repairman noticed a puddle of water under the house and told me I had a leak. The only plumbing work I've had done recently was the installation of the new bathtub, so I called the company who did that. They came out and repaired their issue. The man who did the work, however, informed me that the main pipe leading from the bathtub drain was severely clogged (as in, if it were an artery there'd be major surgery). So...I called the plumber. While I'm at it, and have a dollar to spare (which will no longer be the case after he leaves tomorrow), I asked them to replace my water heater. There's nothing wrong with it; however, it is 26 years old. I might as well get it replaced while it doesn't need it, rather than have to wait for days and weeks to get it fixed when it does need it. (Murphy's law, y'know.) Truthfully, I'm not all that upset. It was 31 years ago today that I closed on this house, and this is only my second water heater and first major plumbing issue (non-maintenance). I'm quite thankful for that!!!! Maybe The Horse will loan me some of his myLot Porsche money for this project....or I can start a Go Fund Yourself account. The most appropriate song for calling the plumber......
