Home Repair Novice Mugs

'The plumber said he can't come right now, but promised to put us on his 'wading list'. Cute, huh?'

"I finally found a use for that old home repair book..."

'You've reached McWit Quality Construction. If your foundation has cracked, press 1, if your plumbing is leaking press 2, if your house is collapsing, press 3 ...'

"I just love how wet you've made things in here."

'Will you be long, fixing this leak? I'll have to put my Bert's dinner on in ten minutes.'

"See this area right here, honey? This is why we need to find someone who knows what they're doing."

"Maybe the termite problem should take precedence over the chimney problem."

'It's O.K. Charlie - you can relax. The T.V. repairman said, 'it can be fixed!''

"I take it the toilet is fixed?"

"Whoa. There's a huge crack down here." "Tell me about it."

"So, who would you like me to call first, dear, the plumber or the exterminator?"

"The white flag means he gives up and will finally hire a professional to finish the renovation."

'Well, that's fixed that.'

"Sure, it's a break you can live with... but screw one more socket and you're toast!"

"Dad! The bathroom pipes are clogged up!"

'Hello, Acme Termite Control...?'

'Have you got one of those things you use to knock nails in...?'

'Don't you think it's time you did something about the draught in here?'

'Don't worry, the first 30 years of dealing with emergency plumbing problems are the hardest.'

"I fixed your leaky tap and the oven door... but there's nothing I can do with that dodgy seal on the fridge!"

"The blow drier is broken."

'Hey, 'Houdini', after you figure out how to levitate the cork ou tof the bottle, I can use your magic at the kitchen sink.'

"I thought you were out front telling the fence company how to do their job."

"Was it a fuse?"

A plumber preparing to go under a house's dark crawl space sees many eyes looking back from the darkness.

"Okay, lady, your new carpet is installed...you can let your dog back in now."

'If you could roll up your sleeves, go behind the screen and plaster the wall.'

"Oh no! This chimney needs re-pointing."

'Well, the magic of Christmas is officially over, unless it includes waking up to a septic tank backup.'

Man falls through ceiling - 'Did you find the leak?'

'Anything need fix'n around here? I mean besides the lamp I just broke.'

Fred's not sure who to call first: 911 or the plumber he should have called in the first place.
