Impressed by the super

At about 6:15 this evening, we went down to the super's office to report the leak under our kitchen sink (which was worse than we'd thought at first, and not within [livejournal.com profile] cattitude's ability to fix). We were pleasantly surprised to find him in: we'd expected, at best, to have to call it in, and had gone downstairs largely to find his phone number.

He looked around, did things with a wrench, and then said he would have to call someone. At that point I told Adrian I expected him to come back and tell us when to expect the plumber.

Pleasant surprise the second: he brought in a plumber, who showed up with appropriate hardware. The problem is fixed, and we have a gleaming new pipe under our kitchen sink.

Elapsed time, under two hours. On a Saturday.
