What's the attraction to Twitter?  I'm a news junkie, and like to have the most up to date information from a variety of sources, about things that interest me.  I'll pass along many of those items.

Ooops!

Here's a problem for a new home buyer.  The previous owner jury-rigged an incorrect plumbing shutoff (left).  (No hot water threaded connection to attach the washer hose.)  It was installed so that the previous owner could detach their washer and move out!

 Got a mess like this?  Give me a call--let's do it right!
