    Cost for Installing Kitchen Faucet?

    Rite, I meant It makes me kinda feel a little guilty charging what we charge when it only takes 15 minutes, but you are rite, the company has to make ends meet. But charging more than a layer or Doctor? All I was saying is, this person had a faucet installed not a root canal!

    Toilet - is this done wrong???? Would you redo this?

    Just looking at his finished job, that guy does not have any pride in what he does!!!! Look at the wax just goooooped all over and not even cleaned off of the closet.

    Pressure testing PEX lines leading away from a ManaBloc?

    I guess the show stopper here would be to see how IAPMO defines the word tube!

    Pressure testing PEX lines leading away from a ManaBloc?

    Rite, but it says "except for plastic piping " you can test with air. We test with air all the time anyway on PEX, as water would just make a big mess., But I guess our question here is, where as the code refers to PEX as "plastic tubing" and not "plastic piping" it makes me wonder if that...
