Let me know what you think, I have never shown this to anybody soooo yeah I'm not an English professor.
Damn sand, and burnt sand at that; burnt sand always has a flavor you never quite forget. But there is lots of that here on Tamarind. A hundred years of raids and fighting do that to a planet. It used to be nice place when I was born here, but my mother escaped with me, my younger sister Ann, and brother Sean - some 40 years ago. She wouldn't come back, I had to. I had to know if it was a dream, or real. But for a boy of 5, it seemed brighter then, and well, less sand.
And yet more sand, I think to myself as I sweep the floor of the garage, it always finds a way in. They say the desert is receding, yeah right. But to the city Captain's credit, there is green again in our village. Ever since we won our water rights back from Graham-Davis. They rerouted the river back, and farms are growing, and people are moving back. It's good for business, fixing farm equipment keeps us in the black. Still the mountains keep the sand at bay, most the time, and the snakes as well. We introduced Mongooses a few years back, and well, I haven't been bitten in a few months, or seen even one for a while. The snakes here, for the most part, are none poisonous; but there is the il-tamuskien. Nasty little thing, 6 seconds and your paralyzed, not dead, but you wish you were.
It is a nice Garage though; we earned a reputation in some very wealthy merchant circles, for repairing, well, just about anything. They just had to get it on planet and off planet without a lot of questions being asked. But everybody knew what we did, Hell, the local Comstar Precentor has a 'vehicle' in here now. We have 36 Techs on staff, and my sister on the books. 'Don't **** off Ann' is our one, and only rule. My star mechanic Eddie has been with me, about 5 years now. I keep promising him a raise. If he could only keep my 56 Apache running, I would.
"You finished yet, Eddie?" staring at his feet twitching under my truck.
"No, and what the hell did you do to this?" He replied
"Ummm, I found a hole"
"A HOLE? looks like you found a crater again." He claimed, as He slid out from under it. "You're not going to keep smuggling parts in for this piece of crap are you? Gasoline engines are not on the approved list of House of Marik, or the Free Worlds League"
"Yup, it was my great, great, umm and then some grandpa's from old Earth." I replied "And Smuggling is a harsh word and illegal iffin I remember right"
"So what was in the cargo containers, that we're….Ummm….delivered to you" eyeballing them as if he hadn't looked at the packing slip, already.
"OOoohhhh, Smuggled Parts." I replied; he laughs but his eyes weren't.
"They are both locked, I need your retina scan to open them, do you mind?"
I turn towards the frig "Lunch is ready, we'll do that later. I need a beer, to wash down the sand, you let in earlier anyway."
"Get me one too" Ed replies, still fixated on the crates. "Aren't they a bit big for Truck parts, more like a truck in each, right. You didn't take on a 'special' rebuild again?"
Beer amazing stuff, after thousands of years, it still hides the flavor of Ipecac. As I hand him a cold one. I can get to those crates later.
The next morning, Ed looks a bit worn out. But he went right to work, and didn't ask about the containers. I had opened them, and unloaded the contents; Parts, parts, and a 1999 Bugatti EB110. The techs all stood around it, till Ed started yelling at them to get to work. Then he stammered; "What the hell have you got us into now" staring at me.
"Ummm a rebuild" I mocked him as always
"Does it run" he exclaimed hopefully
"Nope, but the other one arrives this afternoon, we'll see what it can do"
"You sly devil you, two of them? Who? How? And how much are we making?"
"We'll our young merchant friend from Marian, seems to have a thing for Old Italian earth cars" and the two them, are worth more than the dropship bringing the second one in today. We get the glory of; making him and his young fiancée matching racers……"
His face grew red with excitement "And Boss?"
"And yes - I can retire on what we're making, but not you, you still owe me a running truck" I added
"****, why don't you go buy a new one?" he chimed in
"Because I have money, and you, go get the Scorp ready - the rail went out with your sand storm from yesterday, so we have to go out to the southern landing to get 2 more containers"
"Don't ask questions son…… just go get her running"
The Scorp, well what can I say – it's an old Industrial Mech that I found, and yes, I rebuilt it. It was one of my many toys, as sis calls them. She never understood the reasons, but since she ran the books, she always ******** about the money.
And now she looks really pissed off. "2 Bugatti's, how the hell did you pull this one off?"
"Connections" I couldn't look her in the eye, or I would start laughing
"Not your old Merc friends? I imagine?"
"Actually, no, an older friend, she seems to think I owe her a favor"
"OH GOD, here we go" Ann plants her face in her hands, and tried not to laugh as well.
Laughing, I pulled on my facemask and headset. Sat down to pull on my boots, and then I get that chill up my spine; it's a sound you never forget – A fission reactor has a distinct sound, and I still close my eyes waiting for the ramp down of the core as it levels off……Any other sound and it's going to be a long day. But for The Scorp it's more of a prayer in this case. Just start, please, just start…
Then thud; Ed starts bringing her around the buildings, all our employees still stop what they're doing to watch it through the windows, it is an amazing site. We call it the Scorp, it looks like an old Star League Scorpion, not really, but nobody has seen one for years. It's an old Daedalus, I tell them, I just scrapped it together…I altered the 2 cargo units into one main hold, and removed the extra lifting arm, to add an air filter & blower to keep the sand, and dust out of the hold. Again, this damn sand can ruin the paint job in 2 minutes in a good wind storm, and I have to keep the customers happy. It's long road to either port, 70 clicks to the pad, so a 2.5 hours at top speed, which we never do.
Ann yells out, "Do you want the loader to come as well…."
"Nope, I fixed the arm on it yesterday used it to move those containers around, we should be good"
I hear her mumble something as I walk out the door..oh well.
The trip was uneventful; a few kids run out and point at us, but their used to the Scorp running around town, we use it for the parades, for the local teams if they win, and even if they don't.
I never get used to the site of a dropship, even small ones, too many memories I guess. But there it stood, a big ugly one too, Mule - I think. No heat coming off the engines, so they have been waiting a while, and they don't look happy either.
I climb down to meet them "Ok guys, sorry we're late, but no Rail Cars today, the sandstorm covered the tracks, and the locals haven't cleared it."
"Just sign for the cargo, so we can go eat" a short fellow blurts out
"I need to see your ID's gentlemen" I asked nicely "and air sample the containers as you might expect"
"Yeah, yeah, here you go" as he shoves an id badge at me. I scan it and almost gag from the smell he is carrying.
As I scan it on my portable, it flags a security fault. It has been altered, good enough hack, but he isn't the owner of the card. I hand it back, nod, and walk to the containers.
In my headset, I whisper "Ed, call the Marshall, we got pirates I think."
"This will take a minute guys" as I plug in the air testing port on the first container. Good Air, Gasoline fumes - but not high enough to refuse the shipment. I unplug and start to the second container. I notice they start to fidget a bit.
"Ed" I whisper "what's the Marshall saying?"
"I am getting nothing, we're being jammed I think" I can hear the panic in his voice.
I plug into the second container; blood in the air. I start tapping the testing unit.
"Ah **** guys, the battery just died" I claim, they freeze "I think I have one in a hold over here" as I walk to the Scorp.
"Ed, tell me the ship is powered down?" I whisper
"Yeah, no power readings, how are the jamming us?"
"Dunno, ok, just do what I tell you, don't ask any questions. Open the side chair panel, enter 1369 on the keypad."
"aaa, ok…. "
"enter the voice command Manual when asks for a helmet connection" my voice raises a bit, I glance at the group of men starting to walk towards me"
"Done, what the …. Boss it's making a new sound" as the cad blow away bolts fire everybody in the groups ducks, as large panels fly away from the lifting arm, the smoke clears, revealing 4 deadeye medium lasers.
"Just aim the arm at them and shut up" I yell. I rip my 9mm from my vest, and point it at the short guy with the fake ID badge.
"Guys, you got 3 seconds to make your minds up, drop your guns and run into the desert or we light you up. Ed would love to turn you into burnt offerings to the desert. Either way I don't care, the Marshall is on his way, with his troops; your badge is a fake and you're ******* me off with your odor"
The sound of guns hitting the concrete, make me sigh a bit of relief.
They start to run, and then I hear the whine of a fusion reactor. A Mech is firing up inside the ship. Oh Hell…..
"Shoot ED, just start shooting" as I run to the safe side of the Scorp
"HOW" he yells in my earpiece
"Red trigger button, pull it and wave the arm around, and aim at something damn it"
Lasers are funny things, they don't make a sound until after the Coils are hit with the heat, and then you hear the scream that is so very theirs. Ed was aiming at the group as they ran, good.
I threw open a side panel for tools ripping the tool shelf out I grab at the hidden panel. A recoilless rifle is going to be useless if this Mech-pilot is any good. But I might scare him off with a good hit.
I heard somebody scream as a laser clips a leg of one of the runners. Then that metal on metal sound of the Mech coming out of the bay door. As I run behind the front leg and peer to see what lurches out of the door.
Wasp… I hiss - not exactly what I was thinking, but this still isn't good.
It turns to aim at the loader; miss's but clips the cargo bay. I step out, and fire at the leg. I hit the foot instead. The Wasp teeters a bit, but stays upright.
"Ed, aim for legs now, forget the runners" as I grab another rocket.
"What legs… oh crap" I hear him say "Boss?"
"Just shoot his legs" as I take aim as well for a second shot.
The Wasp is picking up speed as it lumbers down the ramp. The pilot isn't that good I am thinking. Ed fires, and hits the ramp. The pilot leaps the Mech forward and hits the loading arm with a laser. It explodes with hydraulic fluid flying everywhere and the sound of power cables flailing about. I aim and see the missile portals open; I have one chance, and fire….
I hit the head instead. But it deflects the path of the Wasps missiles. I duck, and reach for another rocket. Only to be hit by the concrete flying up to hit me.
As I roll around, the Scorp is lurching to one side; it must have been hit in the leg as well. But the dust and freaking sand blocks my vision. I grab at a rocket, and load as I run around to clear the Scorp if it falls.
Still too much dust, but the screams of metal on metal keep me walking forward.
I see my Buster sitting on the Wasp. With Ann in the controls, she is punching at the cockpit windshield. She cracks the glass, it shatters with the next punch..I hear screaming as I run up and point my pistol inside, and fire. The clip is empty in a few seconds; I hear nothing, but my heart.
Ann moves the loader off the Wasp; I turn and see 3 bodies of the gang that had been running away.
The smoke around the Scorp is drifting off, and Ed is climbing down the ladder. A sigh of relief leaves my lips
I raise my gun, and load another clip, and run for the ramp. I hear the loader following me.
A shot glances past me, I fire up the gangway it came, dead center the body falls. I yell for Ann to get Ed and run for town. She turns and runs the loader down the ramp of the dropship. I keep glancing around, but nothing else moves. As I work my way up, I find a few of the crewmens bodies, in the entrance of the bridge. Inside I see the Captain is out and strapped to a chair. Another, the pilot I guess, is staring at me. I put my finger to my lips to signal he stay quiet. I pull the tape from his mouth.
"How many are there" I ask
"7" he croaks
"Ok, we got 5 of them, I think the other 2 are running for the desert hills to hide."
"Thanks" he whispers
This isn't good, it was then I saw see the name of the ship; Castaway - and start black out.
It smells the same, and why is it here. The Castaway was once home, it took us away when Tamarind was under attack. Lyran's, I was told but Mom always told me not to believe it. She was Lyran, Dad was from here. As was his father before, as the case for 6 generations on Tamarind's except for mom. And she never came back, once she left the Castaway, she never boarded another ship in fact. Which I found odd, her father was a merchant ship Captain all his life.
My vision starts to return, I hear somebody running up the gangway. I turn to see Ed, with a rifle in hand peering around the corner.
"It's clear" I yell "I found the crew the Pilot is alive, the Captain is knocked out"
"The Marshall is 5 minutes away, let's get them where it's safe boss"
As we look to see if the ramp is clear, Ann is jumping out of the loader.
"What the Hell sis?"
"Oh, just say Thank You, and you broke the loading arm last time you can down here. I just didn't want to hear you whine on the call for rescue."
She looks around, and smiles "Speaking of rescues, you can thank me twice"
"God I hate it when she gloats, but I have to agree, she is good in a Mech" I tell Ed as we walk down the ramp.
Ed starts laughing, then looks at me "Who the hell are you two?"
"I dunno Ed, I dunno"

As Ala. standoff drags on, town grieves bus driver
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. – As the police standoff with an Alabama man accused of holding a 5-year-old boy hostage continued Saturday, a nearby community prepared to bury the beloved bus driver who was shot to death trying to protect children on his bus when the episode began days earlier.
Charles Albert Poland Jr., 66, who was known around town as Chuck, was described by folks in his hometown of Newton as a humble hero. Visitation services for Poland were scheduled for Saturday evening, and his funeral was set for this afternoon.
"I believe that if he had to do it all over again tomorrow, he would," said Poland's sister-in-law, Lavern Skipper. "He would do it for those children."

By Nicholas Storey
According to Lord Dupplin, his ancestor the late Victorian Lord Dupplin, was a good friend of the Prince of Wales and, after one Season, he was invited onboard the Royal Yacht. He consulted the tailor Henry Poole over what to wear and an early version of the dinner jacket resulted. Apparently, he was lightly ribbed over it - but the Prince of Wales adopted the style for informal events the next Season and so, naturally, it started to catch on.
In the London Season of 1886, an American named James Brown Potter and his beautiful wife, Cora (née Urquhart), were taken up by the Prince of Wales and invited to Sandringham. Potter learned that the Prince favoured a short evening jacket for evening wear there and asked to have one made by Henry Poole.
Meanwhile, Pierre Lorillard IV, a tobacco millionaire, had started a club at Tuxedo Park in the hills outside New York. His youngest child, N. Griswold Lorillard's first Henry Poole commissions had been made in 1881. None of his commissions appears to have comprised a dinner jacket; although one is tantalizingly described as a 'fancy dress coat with single-breasted facings' - presumably meaning step (or notch) lapels.
When James and Cora Potter returned to New York in the Autumn of 1886, founder members of the club at Tuxedo Park, including Pierre Lorillard IV and Grenville Kane, began to adopt the jacket brought back by Potter for their informal dinners. Some club members even dared to sport the jacket out to stag (or bachelor) dinners at Delmonico's in New York where, according to Grenville Kane, talking in 1929, to Tuxedo Park resident J. Earle Stevens Jr, people started saying "Oh! That's what they wear for dinner up in Tuxedo."
On 10th October 1886, N. Griswold Lorillard and some friends attended the first Tuxedo Park Club Autumn Ball in a tailless dress coat, as a prank. This was much shorter than the dinner jackets that his elders had begun to adopt for informal occasions and a gossip sheet, called Town Topics, said that it made Griswold look like 'a royal footman'.
N. Griswold Lorillard may not then (although said by popular legend), really have introduced, at the age of 22 years, the dinner jacket-Tuxedo (as we know it) to American society but the legend of his high-spirited prank has long survived his early death in 1889. In any event, when entertainer Jack Buchanan popularized the double-breasted dinner jacket-Tuxedo in the UK, in the first quarter of the 20th Century, he was bringing back, from his tours in the USA, a descendant of the jacket that James Brown Potter had taken to America in 1886.
Guest author Nicholas Storey is a former London barrister and the author of the book "History of Men's Fashion." He lives in Brazil.

PEZZNER (Om Records, Freerange)
Up until 2008 Dave Pezzner was virtually unknown to the electronic dance music community, aside from his works in the duo Jacob London (Classic Music, Doubledown, U-Freqs). For 16 years he cut his chops with partner Bob Hansen, creating eccentric house and break beat rhythms often crossing the lines between bad-ass, funky and hilarious.
In the winter of 2008, Pezzner took to his own studio to begin work on his first solo output composing songs that are more serious, with an abstract artistic sensibility. Quickly Dave's catalog began to materialize with a signature sound: Lofty percussive themes with intentions to create hypnotic soundscapes for the body as well as the brain. It wasn't long before Pezzner found his first 5 songs scooped up by London-based Freerange Records, covering the first two EP's of his career, "Other Lover" and the epic three-part masterpiece "Almost Here." These two EPs garnered him massive support from artists as varied as John Digweed, Laurent Garnier, Peter Kruder, Steve Bug and Ben Watt, setting up Pezzner as a producer on the rise.
These first two releases laid a solid foundation for his career and follow-ups are now in the pipeline on Om Records, London's Urbantorque Recordings, plus another EP for Freerange. Dave has also got an arsenal of remixes forthcoming for heavyweights including Josh Wink, Mark Farina, and Mike Monday. Its a dizzying number of releases for an emerging artist, but now that Pezzner's stepped out on his own, he's definitely got a lot to say.

[KONTROL], Nightlight Music, Liebe*Detail, Missive Music
[San Francisco, CA]
[KONTROL], Mothership
Saturday, Feb 20th
818 Liberty, Downtown — The former home of Pegasus!
[KONTROL] brings the finest in minimal techno and forward-thinking house music to San Francisco every month, with an emphasis on live performances. Widely regarded as one of the best, most notorious techno monthlies in the US, Craig and Alland have been defining the sound of San Fran for almost 5 years.
We're combining the sound of [KONTROL], the production quality you know from Humanaut + Hijack, and the legendary former space of Pegasus for one memorable night.
About Alland:
Alland Byallo is one of the busiest men in the San Francisco Techno community. Having produced electronic music for over 10 years (and DJ'd for nearly as long) Alland come to be an international DJ and producer, releasing music on respected US and European record labels such as Liebe*Detail, Floppy Funk, Dirtybird, and Utensil Recordings, and headlining events on both sides of the country. His music, a blend of old and new elements of techno, house and minimal, is regularly charted and has been licensed to CD's released by labels like Universal and Proton Music.
As owner of Nighlight Music and resident, designer and A&R for [KONTROL], Alland has quickly grown to be one of the most in-demand Techno talents that SF has to offer.
About Craig:
Hailing from the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Craig found his early tastes in music heavily influenced by the environment that surrounded him. His influences of hard-edged music initially turned his ears towards the gritty sounds of D'n'B and Detroit Techno as his passion for the beat flourished. Within a few years, Craig sold his guitar, bass, and amps to buy his first set of 1200's. He started off playing breakbeats and D'n'B, but soon after found his art in techno, due to it's complexity and his ability to create longer mixes with more minimal tracks. Soon after, in the wake of a burgeoning rave scene, he decided it was time to introduce other people to the music he loved and played, and in 1998, at the ripe old age of 19, he threw his first event.
In the years to come Craig continued to host events, from small club after-hours to 5000 person warehouse raves, bringing the likes of Green Velvet, The Stickmen, Mike Dearborn, Marco Carola, Funk' D'void, Slam, and H-Foundation to name a few. After relocating to San Francisco in 2001 in an effort to broaden his horizons, he started to get more into house music, or as people so often call it, he became "San Francsicanized." The result: [KONTROL] and a host of remixes on Mothership and blipswitch.

Truckstop Tourist
(Andy James + 1 Auxy)
tek-know? – Akron

Combining raw live digital elements with the sonic depth of vinyl records, Truck Stop Tourist craft live sets that seem to continuously build and morph live production and dj'ing into sounds that ebb and flow from the speakers creating atmoshere, moodiness and controlled chaos on the dancefloor.
This guy is always working his ass off at parties! Be it behind the decks, helping work sound, or hard at work getting his party on. He is a very well respected member of the Pittsburgh rave community and always wants everyone to just get along! He is a nice guy with some awesome music to play for us!

Yes, I am using the supplied 9V adapter, with a UK/US plug adapter.
Repeating the readings again (in the sequence and at the points shown in the assembly instructions), I now get: 8.9V, 4.8V and 13.9V respectively and am able to consistently repeat that test with those values. The unit at least 'beeps' when I plug it in to the mains, unlike the previous one. I confirm these tests are conducted with the VFD chip installed and the tube removed.

Cult Cargo – Belize City Boil UpVarious
CD (Item 396765) Numero, Late 60s/Early 70s — Condition: New Copy
An amazing world of music – rare funk, soul, reggae, and other grooves from Belize – all beautifully compiled in the rich Numero Music style! We're really stunned by the set – as we had no idea at all that Belize had anything going on at this level – and the collection is an amazing surprise to our ears, filled with new delights at each turn, and clearly marking Belize as a new funky capitol on our ever-expanding map of musical understanding. Numero really outdid themselves with this package – going far beyond their already-great collections of work from the Bandit and Capsoul labels – to dig up a range of tracks that have never really made it out to the world at large, but which bubble over with influences from American funk and soul at the time. The notes are great, and the booklet's got plenty of excellent images to back up the writings – but the music is the real star of the set, and is presented on 16 tracks that include "More Love Reggae" and "Boogaloo A La Chuck" by Lord Rhaburn, "Theme From The Godfather" and "Backstabbers" by The Professionals, "Can't Go Halfway" and "Shame Shame Shame" by The Harmonettes, "Things Are Going To Work Out Right" and "Rated G" by The Web, "Funky Jive (parts 1& 2)" by Soul Creations, and "Long Time Boy" by Nadia Cattouse. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Well I don't know how this happened, but a few extra Waverly colours ended up in bag after purchasing my yarn for the Crochet-Along.
Anyway since they're here, I'm wondering if they would be ok to substitute for the Bernat Super Value yarn when making this pattern?
...OK in my defense, I don't know how I was supposed to resist. The Michaels I went to had their Waverly selection on clearance for $2.49 a skein! They didn't have all my chosen colours for my afghan, and my local Michaels wasn't clearing theirs at all, and doesn't carry the Birch White. I ended up ordering it through the Bernat Website.
Any thoughts?

Obama's campaign is firing back. In a statement, a spokesman says quote: "Mitt Romney and Congressman Ryan refuse to ask for a dime from the wealthiest Americans to reduce the deficit. Instead, he would cut taxes for the wealthiest by raising taxes on the hard-working Americans - including veterans, students, seniors, and middle-class families. It's the same failed scheme that exploded our deficits, and devastated the middle class."

Nachi Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Construction of this roller bearing type is the simplest of all radial roller bearings. This bearing type is often used in high-speed applications. Because the inner ring, outer ring, and rollers are in line contact, this bearing type has a large radial load capacity. Various Cylindrical roller bearing configurations are:N,NJ,NF,NU,RNU : integral ribs (flanges)
NH,NP,NUP,NUH : integral and loose ribs
NN,NNU : double-row bearings
Configurations having integral flanges or loose ribs on both the inner and outer rings can sustain a small amount of axial load. Since this bearing type supports axial loads as sliding action between the end of the rollers and flange faces, axial loading is limited. Double-row Cylindrical roller bearings are used for high-speed, high-accuracy applications such as; main spindle support for lathes, milling machines, and machining centers. Radial clearance of tapered-bore bearings can be adjusted during mounting of the bearing(s) onto the mating journal. Standard cages are pressed steel or polyamide resin. Machined cages of high-strength brass are used for bearings of large dimension or for high-speed applications.

My toilet was clogged and the plumber came in and tried to use a snake wire but that didn't work. He told me he would have to lift the toilet and that would cost $325 dollars, but that didn't work. Then he found the main line and in a matter of about 15 minutes came back and said that it was clogged with toilet paper and all he had to do was clear it out. Now my bill came to over $600!!!! How did we go from $325 to over $600 in 15 minutes???? Does that sound like a reasonable cost or was I taken because I'm an old lady who didn't know any better and was desperate to get my toilet fixed? _______________ http://www.getridofbedbugsatho.../bed-bugs-treatment/This message has been edited.

Hard to say if you got taken or not. Prices for this will vary greatly depending on what part of the country you live in. Then, it's a matter of what he really did to make the fix. For some things, it may look like he only took a few minutes but you are paying for a guy who knows what he is doing, has the right equipment and may have to dig through some pretty nasty stuff to make the repair. If you are really curious about your bill, call around to a few local plumbers and get an estimate for the same thing. Jaybee | ||||
Jemshads: I've found that companies like RotoRooter make money by keeping their names at the top of people's minds. They advertise on the radio with a catchy jingle, and when homeowners discover their toilet is clogged or their drain isn't working, they panic and phone the first name that comes to mind. You'll find that you can get the same work done for less (and often by a more knowledgeable and experienced plumber) by phoning any of the places listed under Sewer and Drain Cleaning in your yellow pages that simply have a name and phone number listing. That's because large drain cleaning companies like the Rooter will hire baby plumbers right out of trade school to clear drains. It's only once these guys have made all their mistakes and learned all they can working for the Rooter that they go to the Bank of Dad to borrow the money to buy their own equipment and start their own company. And, because they're working for themselves, even charging half what the Rooter does, they're still taking home twice as much on each job as they were working for the Rooter. Just remember that if the company has to pay $40,000 per year for a full page ad in the yellow pages and $160,000 per year to advertise on the radio, that money has to come from somewhere, and unless you live where it falls out of the sky like rain, it's coming out of your pocket. | ||||
After the fact, I know, but....I would never call a plumber for a clogged drain or a clogged toilet. The drain cleaning companies do this all day long, every day, and they are good at it. Plumbers expertise are more pipes/fixtures and waterlines. I too call a locally owned company, but if roto-rooter is all you find, they will still be much less costly than a plumber. 85 dollar trip charge including an hours work from my drain cleaner guy. And if the repair does not take an hour, he will do sinks or tubs to fill the time if I ask. Senior discount too, my DM has used that! (There are some extra charges for tree root removal if it requires more than 25 foot of cleaning cable.) Luckily we have no root issues. | ||||
if you had a messed up ejector pump, it would not be fixed in 15 minutes. guarantee that. I smell massive bill inflation. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
