I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job fixing our plumbing issues. We’ve been suffering with that shower for years because I was told they needed to tear open the wall in order to fix it. I’m so thankful to have found someone knowledgeable AND honest. Thanks again for your work. We have a toilet that might be leaking from underneath so I’m sure well be using you again! ?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It isn’t hard to understand how to be a super hero in the service business.\u00a0 If you just show up on time and keep your word, you’re already 90% there.\u00a0 Admittedly, keeping your word isn’t always easy.\u00a0 Sometimes it can even cost you money.\u00a0 When Proverbs 15:4 describes those who are accepted by God, it includes “He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.”\u00a0 It’s a rare trait.<\/p>\n
In my opinion, the remaining 10% of being a super hero is mostly desire.\u00a0 For some reason, I want to help people.\u00a0 That makes me go out at night when I’d rather stay home, keep trying to find a solution when I’d rather give up, take extra time on a job when I’m already losing my shirt.<\/p>\n
As I said, it isn’t hard to understand.\u00a0 As a comparison, it isn’t hard to understand how to be slender: except in cases of medical abnormality, it’s just diet and exercise.\u00a0 Yet, everybody’s still fat.\u00a0 Likewise, plumbing companies struggle to stay afloat and try to compensate for their failure with expensive advertising and rapacious pricing and overselling.\u00a0 Their customers hate them, but they keep using them (unless they discover me) because, like abused children, they think that’s just the way the world is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
