Another water leak
<< < (4/8) > >>
NightGod:
I never said he *should* replace it, just said that for the $275 the guy wants to charge him, he *could* replace. Sorry if there was confusion there.
ChadTower:
It's done now anyway.  Sometimes I will do stuff myself, like with the water heater leak.  Sometimes I pay the pro.  Like today.  I couldn't take another day off after being on vacation for a week and a half and taking wednesday to fix the water heater.  I'm working from home right now and that itself was pushing it on a friday.

I do need to learn about compression fittings.  I'm going to replace the stop valve myself soon and will use those for that.  And I'll have to learn pipe soldering and cutting, too.
shardian:
Damn...$300. I sure hope you at least got a gold plated Kohler Faucet out of that.  ;D
ChadTower:

Nope.  But I did get it done within two hours of calling.  And it was only $275!    :hissy:

Seriously Chad, you could have done it yourself in about an hour or less. I broke my bathroom faucet on a Sunday night at 7:30 and by 9:00 I had gone to menards and got a new one and replaced it. It is SO easy it isn't even funny. Compression fittings are super easy. Also, if you use flexible stainless steel hoses, a 5 year old could do it. The hardest part is removing the old faucet usually. Some of the old ones get stuck on there.

Sorry to hear you spent that much money on it.
