Your neighbor seems like a helpful sort.
He's been around fixing the sink in the bedroom, too, huh?
:)
I have to confess...
I stole that scenario from an old "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in Skit".
They had Dan Rowan and his wife (both brown haired, fair skinned) with 5 red-hair, freckled, glasses wearing kids.
The neighbor, Dick Martin, had red hair, freckles, and glasses. He would always drop by and say "Fine Lookin Family Fred!" as he began the skit.
