One of the (many) problems exposed from adding a slight slope to the flat roof over the garage is that there is this gas pipe that now stands proud of roof ~1" over a 2' stretch.
I called a plumber yesterday - in the early afternoon and set up an 8am appointment so that I would be here. And despite assurances that s/he would be here - it's now 8:30 and there is no plumber.

Oh well, I've go to go to work and call a different plumber for tomorrow morning. damn smacktards.

I know that I'll get a call at 1pm explaining that the plumber is at my door and wondering why I'm not there. Yea, like I can drop everything because you never learned the difference between the big and little hands in elementary school and race down there and your convenience?!
