Day 147 and Counting
Julian Electric came and went yesterday. For $137.00 (parts, labor, tax), they fixed all of our out standing electrical problems: shorted outlets, missing outlets, non-functioning outlets, etc. I'm happy with it, and, aside from me locking myself out of the house (that is what you get when you leave the hired help your only key, oops), there was no drama involved.
And, even though I was sucked into the black hole of Lowe's (why would I be there?), I still made home with enough time to get locked out and to finish priming the bathroom (small print: except for a small strip around the shower which I'll need to touch up tonight). Still, I think it's close enough to count. So, the plan for tonight is putty the nail holes in the ceiling and caulking the bathroom walls (1 tube of caulk?). Gripping isn't it.
Anyhow, the struggle continues, blah, blah, blah.

$147? WOW! Why is it that electrical work can be so reasonable to fix a whole host of problems, yet plumbing will cost an arm, leg, and firstborn child just to get a problem looked at?
Sounds like that was money very well spent.
And please, get a spare key, okay?
Nadja & Sean,
Fortunately (?), we did all of our plumbing ourselves, so I don't have any first-hand experience with that particular kind of hell. However, I HATE plumbing and would seriously consider hiring it out in the future (when I'm rich and famous).
Maryam,
Oh, I have a spare key. It's just that it was at my in-laws. It's safer with them, believe me.
