[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 564663, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]My regular plumber has been quite ill and unable to work. He's 74 and says he has no intention of retiring. I spoke with him yesterday. He'd just gotten out of the hospital, where in his words, "Steve, I could feel myself dying. My liver and kidneys had shut down." "Jack, maybe it's time to take it easy, recover, and just enjoy life." "Are you crazy? With this pandemic, all the old guys have retired and there's a shortage of plumbers. I'm on track to make over $200 thousand this year. My son's an electrician, working out of his house, and he says that every day he takes off he loses close to a thousand dollars." I wound up calling seven local plumbing companies before I could get someone to come to my house next week. On local radio, one large plumbing company is offering a $50,000 hiring bonus, payable over ten years, of course. I can't imagine what my bill will be. Yikes![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
