A pro would do it in a single day? Including repairing the

whether he intends to follow local code and law, ie take out
permits if necessary and use licensed pros. Around here, NJ
code would require two permits and plumbervpros aren't licensed
and don't do electrical work and vice-versa. If you have the
skills, know what you're doing and there are no show stoppers,
eg the dryer vent goes out through a side wall in the current
location, like mine does, then it's a DIY job that isn't a big
deal.


I wonder how many people would actually get a permit for a job like
that. A good handyman type can easily do both aspects. If I was not
doing it myself that is what I'd do.

The people who would get permits are mostly those that would have
to get a pro to do it. I hear you.
