there should have been a rubber o-ring with the new head.it goes inside the head where it screws back onto the pipe coming out of the wall. without it it will leak.

You don’t know what you are doing so you want to use this poor customer’s house as practice?

I doubt you are going to get insurance before you attempt this remodel.

I also doubt that you will call for city inspections concerning the plumbing or electrical work you do since you are neither a plumber or an electrician.

You are just the type of fellow legitimate contractors get calls about from homeowners begging someone to come fix your mess.

Instead of contracting you should go to work for a contractor and learn the business before you attempt something you are not qualified to do.

Just because you have picked up a hammer or a crowbar doesn’t mean you are a qualified residential contractor.

Just some free advice from a man who has been in the construction industry for thirty-six years.

I think the government is behind the cover up, they are all in bed together. THIS IS A GAME!! Relax, there a million other things to worry about, oil, a war, credit crisis. No wonder this country is in shambles and hated all over the world, this is the stuff people care about, this and Britney/ Paris/ Lindsey etc…Unbelievable. They were punished, Walsh has nothing new to report, what they did was not illegal, just immoral. Lets see how they do moving forward under the microscope, you can’t change the past.

As some said look under the sink its called a PEE trap,If you had a GOOD plumber there will be a BIG nut at the botton UNSCREW that nut and Make sure you have a bucket handy, If not undo the PEE trap and away you go

They may be able to put a lien on your property in the nature of a “materialman’s lien” in order to recover payment. However you would have a defense of “accord and satisfaction” if you have proof that you paid the general contractor in full and that your agreement with the general contractor included the kitchen cabinets. If you are sued by the cabinet maker or if a lien is placed on your property, you would have a right to “join” the general contractor and ask the Court to order the contractor to pay the cabinet maker. When you paid off the contractor, was there any kind of “indemnification” or “hold harmless” agreement or release that the contractor guaranteed, not only his work, but that all his subs and suppliers were paid off? It’s always a good idea to have something like that when work is completed and the final bill is paid.

He has yet to meet with Goodell. Is there more information that we do not know about?

But even if there is not, the fact remains that Belichick and his crew have been cheating for a long time and they got away with it. The fact that they did not hand in some tapes does not mean they had some more tapes at some point. The fact that it happened over such a long period (years) could mean that they destroyed some tapes because they were no longer useful or the Patriots staff might have been afraid of being caught because they had so many built up over time.

The fact that Goodell accepts the word of the well-renowned genius coach’s word that he simply did not understand the rule is proof enough that this is a thinly veiled coverup by the NFL. Either Belichick is a moron or Goodell is letting the Patriots staff get away with something. The punishment was not nearly enough for the crimes committed over the many years. Belichick should not just be suspended, he should be banned from coaching.

I wish the tapes were released to the public, not the NFL. It is time that the corruption of the NFL became answerable to someone else. Goodell is a bad man. He claims to be so tough on bad behavior and wants a good image for the NFL. But this is all for show. The man himself is very corrupt. This Patriots scandal is proof enough of that. I fear for the future of the NFL if people like this continue to lead the way. I wish more people took a stand on this issue and demanded justice in the NFL to turn the league in the right direction. Maybe a new commissioner would be a good idea. He just doesn’t seem honest and consistent to me.

CHAD5770, I respect your opinion. You make a solid argument. Think, however, that this game is important to Americans. That is not going to change. That is why corruption in the NFL is a bad thing. Our children look up to these teams. If they see that it is okay to cheat or do wrong in any other way, then we should do something about it. It is important.

Sadly, you are right that we are not paying as much attention to other things in life as we should, such as war and the environment or other important matters. But the fault does not lie in football. The fault lies in our selfish nature and our selfish government. We need a change. Not just a democrat for a republican. That will do nothing. We need a serious change in our government and lifestyle.

I am not a sensationalist, searching the internet for the “Britney/”-type stuff you mentioned. That is rather insulting. Please, try not to go overboard when making a point. Otherwise you might provoke an emotional response rather than calm discussion.

I think in some respects that since the “Patriots” are named as such, gives this a rather ironic twist. We are currently in a state of relatively mild unrest in our country as we go through presidential elections. Speaking of justice and nation and change brings this NFL issue a certain contrast that is intriguing. But it is hardly equal to the larger picture. But the larger picture is made up of smaller pieces. And if we ignore the small pieces, then the whole picture falls apart.

What if there is dry rot extending into the other rooms, or through into the main studs? Under the tub? What kind of tile? Underlayment? How far does the wire need to be run? Green board? Durarock? Grout? Are you charging for the material? How long has it been leaking? Is their black mold? Asbestos? Brown Recluse?

If you have to ask “how much”, you do not know what you are doing!

Prices differ by location as well as material used.

I have charged from $100.00 to 12,000,00

They were already punished. The comish already had these tapes but threw them out. What else do you want?

That isn’t too bad a job, but I’d say that you are well within your rights to ask for $2000 for the job - over and above the cost of all the stuff. It depends if you are building your business or it’s already established. If you are already established, you can charge more.

Personally, I wouldn’t go less than $1000, but that’s me.

This happens a lot in construction and if you don’t have a contract with the cabinetmaker nor placed the order yourself you should be ok. Make sure you have proof of paying the contractor however.

There may be specific laws in your area that deal with this, a good place to contact to be sure would be the local BBB for some basic advice.
