    Once I got a quote from one of the doorstep fliers. The guy defrauded me between 54% and 30% of the original contract price because he waited until he got half up front before saying he would do a job with crappy materials that would only last a year or so unless i paid 54% more. I should have cancelled the check and said get off my property.

    I had a plumber come out one time to work on my shower. While he was there he told me my hot water heater was old and needed to be replaced soon. An hour after he left, it started leaking. He swore he only looked at the date and didn’t touch anything. Needless to say I called a different plumber to come and replace it.

        Me too, but they are made of glass. I had one that was still in warranty and tried checking the anode. The anode wouldn’t budge, but a few hours later the thing started leaking from up there. Luckily, they honored the warranty and I now have a water heater that is only one year old, and not 5.
