A milder title would have been “Sticker-Shocked and Mechanically Disinclined,” maybe.
We had Roto-rooter come out to install our new water heater because I didn’t want to screw up the job and get all Mom’s furniture and stuff in the garage wet. Price? Over twice the cost of the water heater itself, and that’s after I got the thing home myself. 🙁
I think I’ll risk electrocution next time. 🙁
