We awoke to the steady drup drip drip. Something had gone wrong in the attic. Another pin hole leak in the ancient pipes. We located our wonderful plumber who had moved and changed number since we last used him. Fortunately for us, he likes us and responded to our desperate
situation at once. He arrived at noon and has just left now at 7 PM. $425 later the leak is fixed and we seem to be thrilled to pay the fee.
Why do we wish a college education for our children. Plumbers, carpenters, electricians, auto
mechanics and such make a very good living. Also, they always seem like such nice people. Fred,our nice Iranian plumber waved goodbye. Ten minutes later our downstairs toilet started flushing itself every five minutes. I will fiddle with the flapper for the next week and then call Fred.

Sorry to hear about the leak in your attic. I've always been amazed at how much damage a little water can do over time.
But even plumbers, electricians and others dedicated to the service of our homes and our cars have to pass exams to become masters at their trades. Otherwise they work for a boss (the guy who went for his master's)and earn hourly wages like most everyone else.
