He was completely unphased by the pile of things around it, so I guess that made no difference.

He did speak slowly but I was still more lost than not.  I swear he kept saying something about 80.  But maybe he was saying 40 because he used the can of WD-40 we found in the garage.  Then he asked if I have anything to clean my oven.  Clean my oven?  He obviously thinks I am good at that sort of thing.  I showed him my meager stash of cleaning products and he took some window cleaner and de-greasing stuff for  pots and pans.  It was like playing <em>Let&#8217;s Make a Deal<\/em>.  I&#8217;ll fix your water heater if you have a green pen in your purse!  Do you want to see what is behind porte numero  deux?  If I were a repair man, I&#8217;d carry those things with me.  Of course, I&#8217;m a housewife and I don&#8217;t have oven cleaner.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><font face=\"Myriad Condensed Web, sans-serif\"><font size=\"4\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After some scrubbing, he shut the heater, washed his hands and said \u0093ok.\u0094  He told me he will order a new part that he can put on next time.
