it's PLUMBING day!

My understanding of all service visits is that these are the things we all wonder:

*When will they arrive?

*How long will it take?

*Will the problem actually be fixed after they leave?

And then, you know, all the other questions that I wonder about:

*What they heck are they doing?

*Should I be worried that I don't know what they heck they're doing?

*How worried?

*Brain, please don't think about horror movies right now, okay?

*Did I leave anything embarrassing lying around?

*Will they tell me any of the weird things they've seen at other peoples' houses?

*Is talking to the repair person rude because it's distracting, or nice because it shows you respect them as a person?

*Is watching them work okay, or does it make them think you don't trust them?

*On the other hand, if it's boring, are you allowed to go do something else instead?

COUNTDOWN TO REPAIR TIME, ACTIVATE!

Hope it all goes/went well!

Unless tradespeople seem to need my assistance with something (turning on taps at appropriate times or giving info about the property), I tend to leave them to it and sit at my computer, keeping an ear out for shouted requests, etc. Fwiw. :-)
