Good repairmen/plumbers/builders/carpet fitters are hard to find
A few days ago our dishwasher started making a nasty noise and then ceased working - argh!
We fell into the 'dishwasher trap' when we moved into this house 5 years ago, as there was one here. Thing is, once you have got used to using one you can't really go back! And when the dishwasher that belonged to the house died 2 years ago we bought a new one for ourselves. Up till now it has been fab (Whirlpool) so I can't really grumble.
And what made it all so much easier to bear was already knowing of a good repair man, who came the next day and has got it working (and has gone away to investigate an odd pump noise that is still lingering) It got me thinking about how invaluable it is to know the right person for the job, and be confident that they are not going to fleece you and do shoddy repairs.
It also made me frustrated (again) that we are still trying to get vinyl flooring put down in the bathroom. It has been really annoying to have the person get here (eventually) and give a quote, have to wait for the landlord to okay it, and then not be able to reach the guy again for the past month. And so we've had bare floorboards for 6 months now. Does anyone know a person who can lay board and then vinyl????

Dont talk to me about "good" plumbers. There might be plenty of good ones out there but the word "reliable" is more appropriate in my case. Do you know we have had no flushing loo for 18 months because of complications which leave plumbers scratching their puzzled little heads. They smile and put their tape measures back in their pockets and say "i'll phone you with a quote"...(and I wait for it now).."I wont let you down" which they invariable do. So here we are, still flushing the loo with a yellow bowl, and dread another plumbing disaster to add to the aesthetically unpleasing house. Bare floorboards?? thats nothing!!
