I received a call this past week to look at job for a new client. Saturday was the day she needed me to look at the job so I agreed. I found that she worked for Easter Seals which is always fun giving quotes to people that work for the organizations you work for.
When arriving yesterday I found out that the water underneath her Mobil Home was not a water leak but a Sewer Leak? With no drain pipes leaking I looked around to see a raised bed septic leachfield behind the trailer. I dug a test pit 8 feet away which was something that I was taught to do by a fellow BNI member.
After I dug the test pit I saw water leaching into the hole. This is not a good sign for the owner of the Mobil Home Park. I believe they need a new leachfield. The Client Eveleen Barcomb looked really familiar. When I asked her about the 75th Easter Seals Celebration she answered, " oh we were there I am married to Ron and we were on the stage speaking about Veterans Count. I said "oh yes now it is all coming together", I remember you!
What a small world. She was happy that I did not charge her for the service call. Eveleen asked if I would quote her electric water heater. I did quote the water heater and was the low bidder and will be doing the job next week.
I also met the maintenance man Dan at this service call just by chance who I asked him a question of the location of the street shut off for the water. This was the first idea we had when trouble shooting the issues. I had not met him yet and we hit it right off. Dan said you are our new Plumbers at Highland Village in Goffstown, NH with a big smile.
After I did finished the call I placed another call to the President of the Park which is affiliated with the new Condo Association Highland Village we just started to work for. When I explained what I found I gave them a referral of a BNI person in my group to help them determine what the issues with the septic system may be. This is the magic of life and this is why I do what I do. God wanted me there to do this service call. We are not just solving problems we are sharing life with wonderful people.
After the service call I did pass out one of my Friendly T Shirts and connected with Eveleen and Ron on a spiritual level that just made my entire day. I was even blessed by a hug from Eveleen. We all need each other’s support and love each and every day. What story will be today when God puts me right where I belong. Stay Tuned.......:)
