The original pipes were made of copper but many of them had to be torn out. Eva made sure the discarded copper was properly secured as she was going to scrap it along with the cast iron bathtubs. It would bring in a small amount of welcomed revenue. Seeing Mike going over the invoice with the plumber through the window, Eva gathered her checkbook and went outside. She waited at a discreet distance until Mike finished negotiations. They had previously agreed upon a fixed estimate of the repairs and now it seemed that the plumber wanted more money. Eva would let Mike handle this. He was very good at this part of his job, which was to keep costs down. Finally there seemed to be an accord for the two men shook hands. Mike brought the invoice over to her. She looked at it. “This is not the amount for the bid.” “I know but he ran into some issues we weren’t expecting. I think this is a fair deal. I talked him down five hundred dollars.” Eva consented and wrote out a check, giving it to Mike.
