Wednesday, 2-22-2012, the plumber and his team were supposed to come and yank out the old pipes and put in new pipes. I waited and waited and they never showed. I had somehow gotten it in my mind that it would be an all day job, maybe even taking two days. On Thursday, I waited til 10 am and I gave them a call asking were they coming today or what? I was told that they were finishing up some other jobs and that they would be out to my house as soon as they possibly could. I went about my day and did some homework and hung out with Khamren, until I could not take anymore of Dora and Thomas the train.
Friday, we had to go to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and we had planned to be there awhile. On the way to Atlanta, I made another call to the plumber and asked when are you coming out? I was told they were working on a city emergency and as soon as they could would be at my house to get the job started.
To my surprise when I returned home it was evident that they had not been there. So I called another plumber and he came out, said that he would have to write up an estimate and would get back to me. I thought cool. I went to Moe's with my sister and when I got back there was the plumber I had hired unloading a bobcat to dig with. While he dug a trench, another guy pulled out pipe from the water meter, another guy came out of the truck with this coil of blue plastic. I asked what was the blue stuff and was surprised to hear that it was piping. WOW!!! Really? He said that they leave the iron old pipe in the ground and use the blue piping.
Just over three hours and my house had new blue piping and was good as gold. Plus it did not cost an arm and leg to get the job done.
