MONEY- GO- ROUND

We had a leak in the plumbing at the Auckland apartment during the week.

A call by the plumber, plus a follow up visit ended up costing us over $600.

Bummer!

For plumbing services just keep inserting money. Kaching!


The problem with apartment living is its not easy to do the handyman thing as there is a building full of tenants to consider if you want to turn the water off, replace some parts and turn it on again. As it was the plumbing company had to arrange with the building manager to drain the entire water sytem of the building to fix the problem.

$600. About the cost of the i-pad I wanted.

Nevermind. We sold a chaise-longue and a table on Trade Me - total over $600.

All square.

Sometimes I think we should be telling our students to get a trade if they really want to make money.

I agree. Though actually getting a "trade" isn't that easy. Then you have to have the business sense if you go it alone.

That apartment building reminds me of the Tower of Babble.

Jesus, are you saying its tennants are multi-cultural?
