Oh boy, ain't that the truth. It helps to be able to do some yourself of course,
to you Rick, but when you need a pro, you know$$.
Our last fun event was the main sewage line in the basement leaking. The plumber we called was a complete and total idiot. At least it got fixed with a rubber boot and no tearing up floor or walls..
There is a weird drip -- I always wonder if the bathroom wall is going to cave in one day... Mark thinks it is related to the water line for the fridge. But it seems to occur in relation to use of the shower.
And I sit here in the living room, trying to ignore a very slow but definite creeping crack in the ceiling, probably leaking at the chimney. Which chimney and fireplace, by the way, the sweep said was completely wrong in design (60 years ago) and of course has leaks too, due to age.
And I've heard stories from owners of new construction as well, so it's not always just age of the building.
