On an upbeat I had an outlet go bad in my house today. Fortunately we did not have a fire! After a half an hour of electrical service and $518 later the house is back to normal. Now the electrician was great, did good work but..... $518!!!! Really!!!! Pricing out the parts came to about $15 that is highway robbery!

They charged me over $2000 for an $800 water heater.. that I shut off, drained, and cleaned up the flood that it caused before they got here..... you bet its highway robbery

What did they do, other than change an outlet?

The storm...and its a doozy
Rain all day
At the end of the work day, when everyone is driving home the temp is supposed to drop into the teens and then the sleet, followed by freezing rain comes in and stays until about midnight and then...
it starts to snow hard and by the time it is all done I should have 6 to 10 inches of snow on top of a lot of ice...happy happy joy joy..hopefully this is winters parting shot at us

now if you don't mind I need to go calm down and forget about this for a bit so I am off to do some Yoga in my basement
