Plumber Day 2

New Faucet works great, no drips and loving it

Continued from yesterday post... Day 2, 

One hour before the plumber came, a woman ran up our sidewalk, laid the faucet on the porch and ran o her car and drove off.

It had been opened. who knows why she kept it for 5 days..

The plumber removed the knob, as you can see below, that is the hole waiting to be filled.

He wanted to cut out the wall in the other bathroom, and wanted to add a whole new faucet, with new Stuff.

Bob did not want the wall opened, he said it is just a drip, it was more than a drip, but that is another story.

The plumber left at 7:30 and told me to find a faucet, I said I have no clue, we went to the computer, could not find one. When he left, he said when you have the new faucet in hand call me and I will schedule to install it.

 

 After MUCH loud discussion with the other half, we decided I would return the extra faucet to Home Depot, get my refund, and go to Wymans Plumbing, a very large one that sells parts and does plumbing and see if they could order what we need.

My first clue that I had gone MAD, was as I backed out of the garage my foot that had no shoe on it pressed down on the brake and I had to go back in the house for shoes.

I drove to Wymans first, and as I got out of the car I realized I had left my wallet on the counter at home.  

Which meant I had driven in rush hour traffic on Cortez RD, which is THE NUMBER 1 Street for accidents and the most deaths each year. 

Without my drivers license.

I showed the man the bag of goodies and asked if had one and he said I am about to place and order, I can order one and have it here on Monday. 

I had to tell him I did not have my debit card. 

I said I want to show you the photo of the hole. Guess where the phone was ?

in the car, I run to the car , he orders the part, I leave and drive HOME to get the card to return the faucet.

I race in the door, grab the wallet, and back out, return the faucet and back home.

 Bob says did you make an appointment for Wymans to install those parts???

What do you think?  I

I call the store, she says how about Monday at 10. I hung up and while writing on the calendar I remember the man who ordered it said it SHOULD be in his store Monday. 

I frantically called the lady back and she said I was just about to dial your number. 

laughing loudly like the idiot I may be, I said that is why I called. She said no problem, lets make it 10 am on Tuesday. YAY! 

Wait! I say, I have a doctor appointment at 11 that day... she made it for between 1 and 4 Tuesday pm, which is the same time the other plumber was supposed to be here. We all know how that worked out.

WE WAIT! Will the knobby thingy come in on Monday? Does Wymans use FedEx? Will it get snow bound or hit by a tornado on the way here??????????? Stay tuned. we might here the rest of the story on next Wed which is supposed to be Wordless.......😁😀😀
