Remodel plumbing: Lots of "thinking ahead"!

To judge how trades are structured, hang out at a distributor outlet as the journeymen pick up their supplies. The plumbers always look grungy, carpenters have tears in their faded jeans, other trades are somewhat disheveled. But the electricians show up in near new trucks, clean clothes and haircuts. Must be a lesson there. Joe |

Don't forget to reverse the washing machine hoses. No need. With front loader just flip top to bottom. For top loader rotate front to back. Think outta the box Oren :-) Client: "That sure is a ****ty job!" Plumber: "Yeah. It all turns to green dollars on Friday." |

If you have Delta single-knob control, simply pull the knob off and rotate it 180 degrees and put it back on. DAMHIKT. I think I like electrical work much better.
