Crew Cut or Baldie?
So, do you trust the older, kinder, balding tradesman who is gentle and soft-spoken, but who probably misdiagnosed the problem, or the younger, brasher, crew-cut f-word-using tradesman who may have found the problem? But maybe not?
If you need a problem solved, you need a problem solved. And yet, it is Plotnik's experience that if you don't like somebody you have to let into your home to fix something, you will find further issues up the road with him that you haven't even imagined yet. You may have the same problems with the other guy, but dealing with him won't give you migraines.
Still, crew-cut is cheaper and maybe more alert than baldie. Hmmmm. Maybe a third estimate.

What's broke? (There was a guy in the museum and on the back of his jacket it read, "Gray Matters")
Old guy. As long as his walker doesn't become a problem.
C'mon, this is a no brainer. Go with Baldie. Older is better. Kinder is better. Gentler is better. So what if he's not brash and doesn't cuss like a sailor? Are those qualities prerequisites for correct diagnosis of the problem? Oh.....right. He's cheaper. Cheaper is rarely better...or cheaper, when all is said and done.
