Hello -If you are a plumber, please don't take offense to the title of mypost. It was just that I'm so freaking mad at the guy who has beenworking on my toilet that I wish I could just choke the life out ofhim!Long story short: I've been getting some increasingly bad leaks out ofthe base of my toilet for the past two or so weeks. I get a plumberout of the phone book - someone local, nice ad, I figure he looks likea solid enough guy.He shows up, tells me that I need to replace the entire toilet, pullsit up by smashing it! Which causes water to blast all over the place,which caused water to drip down on the floor and into my basement,which got all over my entire collection of People magazines! Ruiningat least thirty issues from the early 80's - not easy to replace.He tells me that it's the price of plumbing, an unfortunate casualty.Frick that! He should pay for these issues, shouldn't he? But hewon't!!And to cap it off, two days later the new john starts leaking!!!! Icall him and he tells me he'll get to my house sometime 'before theNew Year'!!!!Goddamnit, this guy is ruining my life! What am I going to tell myfamily when they come over for Christmas!? To just ignore the frickingwater all over the bathroom floor? To use the toilet at the Quizno'sdown the street??!?!Is there any line of recourse on this, legal or otherwise? Please helpme.Thanks-Dustin
