Getting some plumbing fixed in the apartment today-392$. Ouch. Just to replace two cartridges in the tub and sink. Last time it was fixed in the other bathroom it cost about half that much. He also tried to get me to check the water heater. It would be two hundred extra to do that. Ouch. I tell you it pays to be a plumber in a recession. And this didn't even fix the dishwasher problem. The seal is bad and it is leaking. Ugh. The blinds are also broken. Managing a place helps you realize just how expensive things are to do. I really should have called around to get estimates; it really does help get the best price, at least in the past. I should've done it.
