OK Here we go. Answer as many or few as you wish. As time permits, the posse down at the ol' Jot'em Down Store & Library will read the stories and post the results. This could be fun - if YOU make it happen! Finally, the RESULTS of the poll to date (March 15, 1997).
Do plumbers charge too much? Surely you jest... They deserve every penny! About right. It's a stickup without a gun! No comment.
Should plumbers clean up their messes? Do frogs have water tight ....? Yes please, at least the big stuff. No, I don't want to pay plumbers rates for the time spent cleaning up. Of course not, they'd get thrown out of the union! I'd rather not say.
Flat rate or time & materials? Tell me the cost on the phone. Give me your best estimate. Tell me your hourly rate and how you charge for parts. If you have to ask - you can't afford it. Really, no comment , just now.
What do you offer the plumber while he/she is working? Cuppa coffee. Glass of water. Cheap scotch. Did you say offer? I don't even let the clowns use the bathroom! No comment, my people will talk to your people.
Should the plumber bring his/her own ladder, rags, buckets, etc? I can't believe these guys don't bring their own stuff! Gladly - anything to help. As the sadist said to the masochist ... At these prices? YES! Other.
What do you say when the plumber asks you for a slice of bread? Isn't a little early/late for lunch? Huh? I know that trick! I'd rather not commit myself at this time, thank you.
One last question... Should we continue doing this poll? YES NO
