Water leaks from the faucet of the washstand and we decided to renew the whole of the washstand.

  Water has been leaking from the faucet of our washstand for a few days, so we called a repairman. The repairman named Mr.Hirobe said the charge needed to repair it would cost almost much as money as to install a new washstand. He estimated a cost of a new washstand including the construction cost. Mr.Hirobe said the new washstand would cost about 70,000 yen, while it would cost about 50,000 yen only to repair the faucet. The difference would be 20,000 yen, but the other parts of the old washstand might need to repair sooner or later, then it would cost another 50,000 yen. Listening to his explanation, we had to decide to buy a new washstand after all.
