I Should Have Gone To Plumbing School

The plumber said we would be his second stop today. Turns out we were his second and last stop which meant he didn't get here until after 3pm. I know that in his line of business you can't really judge with any high degree of accuracy how long something will take but I expected to be free to leave the house after noon. He was here until after six working on our do dads and he still isn't finished. We still don't have a backflow preventer. He has to order some valve or piece or something. We do have water to the fridge now and the leak on the washer seems repaired. Anyway, he is going to come back next week, probably Wednesday and finish us off. Things are slow to be completed, but we will have cable by noon tomorrow (God willing) and we are going to order living room furniture tomorrow. We stopped by the store the other day and settled on what we wanted. Ragged brought home a swatch of the fabric to make sure it would work in our living room. We nearly bought it on the spot when they said they could have it delivered on Friday and not six weeks from now. Like I said, we were going to go today and have it delivered on Friday, but the plumber was here too long and the furniture store closes at 7 freaking o'clock. What kind of store closes at 7? Anyway, by Monday we should have real furniture to fart on.
