(aka Battle of the Bulge, part II)
My good mood lasted about as long as it had taken him to fix the leak. Sure, I saved £130 compared to the other guy who had wanted to rip out the kitchen sink unit. On the other hand it only took him ten minutes. That's £420 per hour. Nice work if you can get it.
I took a good look at what he had done. He seemed to have grafted a section of pipe in place of the bulging lead pipe. He obviously had some kind of special tool to graft a section of copper pipe to the lead pipe. I could not have done that. But perhaps I could learn.
