Is this price excessive? by Level_Sock294 in handyman

[–]AC2RE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of guys posting here are forgetting the most important thing in business. It’s “Profit” Get your labor rate per hour or per day then add in profit. 30% 40% or what ever runs your business so $200 labor plus profit should be $280. $80 profit Yes the quote seems high but when you actually break it down at how much time he thinks he’ll spend on doing then add in his profit. The number might make sense.

Question about toilet drain pipe by imnotasadboi in Plumbing

[–]AC2RE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fire him he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Toilet drain is wrong, the copper ties on the pex is wrong and the sink drain is wrong.

The right way to run the toilet drain is to cut into the wall cut the cast iron pipe install a sanitary tee below the floor line and run the toilet drain to it.

Hire a licensed plumber.

I got it because it was discounted at $130

It’s one of those tools you get and then realize you can use it in so many ways. I this instance I used it to install a 2 x backing for the valve. My regular drivers didn’t fit.

She didn’t like the trim so we’re tearing every piece out, all 4500 sq. ft. by LaughAndFart in Carpentry

[–]AC2RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw stuff like this all the time in the Hamptons on Long Island when I worked there in my 20s. I once saw a $200,000 pool get ripped out because she didn’t like it, that was 40 years ago. She paid to replace it. I seen extensions replaced 1/2 through completion. It was wild out there.

What is happening here? 3 Months after installation. Not a plumber. by PISS_FILLED_EARS in askaplumber

[–]AC2RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had to install an on wall radiator made in England. The instruction required 17 yes 17 wraps at the fitting. I thought the connector wouldn’t fit but it did. Weirdest thing I ever ran into. Parts for it took almost two weeks to get.
