With all the sub freezing weather and 24" of snow I neglected to winterize
my outside faucet which never sees the sun. Consequently it froze...add to
that the inside shut off did not work. Water going everywhere outside.
I had the name of a plumber I hadn't had a reason to use so gave him a
call. Lucky for me he was about 15 min. from my house and came right by.
He put a new nozzle on the outside and replaced the shut off on the inside
and carried out 20 gal of water I had vacuumed up when we had a torrential
rain a few weeks ago. For all this service he charged me $100. Compare
that to the $160 I paid a plumber last spring to replace a 10 cent washer on
that same faucet and you can see why I consider the charge a bargain and a
half! In addition he is certified to do electrical and heater work.......oh
happy day. He calls me "Mom"...priceless!
