Our Hot Water Tank is Dangerous

Further house news, and we"ve got a leaking hot water tank.  The tank is part of what appears to be a rather complex  system with would not look out of place in a nuclear power station.

We call out a plumber on Wednesday, who unfortunately is going on a caravan holiday to Weymouth, but will pass the details to his partner to get us a quote to replace it, but it"ll be next week before he can sort it.

We would have called out the boyfriend of one of Jen"s work colleagues, but he couldn"t get out to look at it straight away.  However, due to the delay, we"d rather give him the work, so he"s popping out in an hour or so to take a look, and will do the work as quickly as the other plumber (who still hasn"t come back to us).

He"s known as Mickey, and I"ve swapped a few emails with him with pics of the tank and information etc.  His email address is mikeverwood@ xxxxxxxxx.xxx

So, this morning, I ask Jen, "Is Mike"s surname Verwood then ?"

"You mean Mickey ?", she replies

"Yeah, but he"s Mike on his email ?", I state

"He"s actually called Michael, but everyone calls him Mickey.  Verwood is where they live.  His actual surname is Jackson"

Priceless.  So, in an hour, we have a plumber called Michael Jackson popping round to have a look at our hot water tank.

You need to to be careful with Plumbers Leigh, they can be really smooth, criminal even, they just dont stop till they"ve had enough. He may even come up with some off the wall story like you you have bubbles in your tank, but dont let him rock with you. He"s likely gonna wanna be starting something but, you can always tell him to beat it.

Leigh, if it"s any consolation I remember the time my hot water tank leaked. At first I thought it was going to bring all the paint off the wall but I contacted a very good plumber, asked him to come and look the next morning and he said "I"ll be there". He arranged for a new tank to be delivered in a couple of days and came round to replace it. It all went as easy as ABC. So, don"t think they don"t care about us, you are not alone!

Leigh I want to be where you are, Although you must sometimes think just "leave me alone" and not fly off the wall. It"s not always Black or White. One day in your life things will come together on the house. At the moment where you need to go is A Place with No name, but keep calm Behind The Mask and you will Beat It. Don"t stop til you get enough. I know it feels Dangerous but tomorrow"s A Brand New Day.
