Can someone recommend a plumber/handyman in the KC area for a relatively simple job? Just need the faucet in my kitchen sink replaced but I can't get the job done because I'm a beta city boi. I've replaced a bathroom faucet but this one may need to be sawed off since the "Anchors" that secure the faucet to the sink are "sealed" or something..cant get em off.

Vielhauer plumbing has been my go to for quite some time.  They get to us quick and are inexpensive.

I redid my master bath a few years ago and didn’t want to mess with setting my own shower base. I have another plumber I have worked with a lot as well. I had both bid the job and Vielhauer was half the price and did great. They have done quite a bit of small stuff for me. 10/10

Noted! I need some small crap done like flip where the disposal is and the hot/cold are the wrong way so just going to buy a new kitchen faucet and have them do all that at once.

had these dudes out to bid what I needed and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the tip!

rough ridin' furnace died.  I guess it was time, it was installed in 1997.  Still. Sucks

I have to decide if I'm going to also replace the AC as well.  Ugh

I have no idea how much a new ac/furnace cost but I'm guessing it might take my breath away

My neighbor said the first quote he got on a new AC unit was $15,000.

Protip: just build a new house and re-start the clock.

I'm going with a heat pump.  Not very cheap but hopefully a good long term decision.
