The rotorooter guy got $325 for an hour's work at our home one evening. If he gets one call like that and two less involved calls, and keeps half the money, He might gross $300 per day. I have no idea how many calls these guys have, but when we need them, they are not always immediately available. I spent between 11:30 and midnight Christmas Eve walking up and down our block with the Consumers guy looking for a gas leak. I sympathized with his working on this evening and he allowed that he was getting triple time and would be through when we discovered the source. They can't outsource bricklaying. Speaking of which, do you know what a mason gets? My son’s mother-in-law, a high school teacher, observed that the Maytag guy got $85 for knocking on the door.
