Real plumbers ARE expensive, aren't they?

After waiting for weeks to have a local handy-man Type connect my drain from the new shower base and correct screw-ups under the house, made in 1986, when they built this home (had to be drunk out of they're minds at the time) I finally got it connected.
I first called a Handyman recommended by a neighbor. I called and he said he knew right where we were and I gave our phone number. LAST I EVER HEARD FROM HIM.
2nd man had posted a large and detailed poster at the club house. He did Everything you might want, with 50 years experience. I called, he came, he looked, he was all confused, so I said, "Sorry, I'll try someone else".
3rd was a guy who had replaced an entire bedroom exterior wall including a new window, drywall and insulation. Good price , 3 men and two days work.
Well, he came, he looked said he would even pick up some sheetrock for me and would see me that following weekend.
Well, that weekend came and went along with the next THREE weekends. I even called and left a message. No reply.
Finally called Fourstar Plumbing, told them what I wanted and 2 days later they were here, rerouted the old bad connections and I ready to finish the shower.
And it should look something like this.
Well my rant is finished and I feel wonderfully relieved.
I wanted cheap and that's what I got. You pay more and you get more.
I REALLY need a shower BADLY/ It's been a month sinse I used this shower. P U.
Have a good day.
