A sequel.
And to give some background, my partner is not only still recovering from
pneumonia, but
also is doing cold turkey withdrawal from several drugs her doctors kept her on
for the eleven
years after a severe head injury. This makes her (un)pretty grumpy and
short-tempered.
Hopefully this also will pass.
Anyway, yesterday I was tidying up a pile of recent old newspapers and among
them was a
web-page print-out from the Methven plumbing place, provided by the plumber,
and two
items had prices written out in his red ball-pen.
The top one was a retro outfit, and his price was $600 + GST
At the bottom, not illustrated, but probably he quoted an item "just like" the
unit to be
replaced. The value of this was $345 + GST. He charged $30 for his work, and
for a cash
cheque, no GST. I later checked her bank a/c and $364 is what she paid. $19
different.
So it was not so bad after all .. :-)
