He's repaired and replaced toilets, installed dishwashers (2!) and removed a garbage disposal & replumbed the kitchen sink.

I then had to put sheet rock and surface mounted the cabinets. Good thing the plumbing lines were thick, otherwise I hate to think what it would have costed to fix!<br /><br />Oooo....ya! This weekend I will also be removing the grout from my master bath...scared as I am I will still charge forth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-11091610808698571592009-05-21T11:02:15.434-04:002009-05-21T11:02:15.434-04:00How timely,

It never occurred to me how much water I might be wasting by trying to ignore the problem until I read an article saying that you can use hundreds of gallons a month with a small trickle from the toilet valve. I turned off the valve at the toilet and banned everyone from using it (It's in the master bathroom so we can use the other two in the house). I finally got time to go buy the new internal toilet parts, drained the tank, and replaced the parts. After screwing around with it for an hour (total) I turned the valve back on only to find that the new valve did the same thing. I was so disgusted that I walked away from it. That was two weeks ago. I guess I better get back to it.<br /><br />And no, I'm not hiring someone. :) At least until I really screw something up.Hazzardhttp://www.everybodylovesyourmoney.comnoreply@blogger.com
