Plumber

Here's an ad for Mr. Rooter Plumbing service in the GH magazine.

What the plumber does - Walks through your flowerbed.
What it means - He doesn't respect your home. If he did, he'd use the walkway. It's only a matter of time before he starts using your fancy guest towels to clean his tools.

What he does - Shows up an hour late and doesn't call.
What it means - He doesn't care about your schedule. A good plumber will call if he's going to be late. Don't be surprised if he also takes multiple breaks due to "wrench wrist" or some equally fictitious ailment.

What he does - Gives you a final bill that looks nothing like his estimate.
What it means - He's irresponsible. Who knows what other oversights he's made. There's a good chance your pipes are now held together with kite string and bubblegum.

What he does - Leaves a mess behind.
What it means - He doesn't appreciate the work you put into keeping your home clean. You could be angry and attempt to get even, or you could just feel sorry for the woman that has to put up with him at home. We suggest the latter.

I personally think this goes for all contractors who work on your house.

But if you need a good plumber who will respect you and your property both and you live in the DFW area, call Witt Plumbing (817)447-1784 (http://www.wittplumbing.com/) and be sure and tell them to send Kelly.
