Crazy Jim's Gone Banana's
One with a happy ending:
Visiting Chicago. Water heater leak on Fri afternoon at my sister's in North-brook.
They will be there at 4.30 after finishing regular scheduled work.
How much? 1250.00 for 50 gal. OK
Feeling a little pain for my brother construction workers. [me years ago] for working late on Fri.
I drain the heater, unsolder it and move it off to side out of the way. Took about an hour.
They show up at 5.00 a little disappointed, but willing to work overtime to get this job done. [just left new construction job, and a pain in the arse constantly changing their mind customer, making them late] .
Going to be late for something, I don't remember. Anyhow...........
One comes up from the basement and smiling ear to ear tells the helper," get it off the truck, we can be out of here in 30 minutes, don't have to drain the old one or remove it."
He was so happy he didn't have to mess with the old one, and could still get to his event, they knocked off 350 bucks from the bill and still hauled off the old one for us. [they did not install the original unit]
So there are still folks out there that restore my faith in my fellow man......
.......every now and then.
