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. 10/10Noted! 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.

I am at a year at our new house. I am sending a final list of items to the builder to fix and then we're on our own.What type of things are legit things that need fixed and what are things that are minor and not worth bringing up?Multiple raised drywall screws that were mudded over but noticeable not flush with the wall?Some settling cracks in the drywall in the ceiling where our living room/dining room meet?caulking cracks along some doors and windows? kind of looks like the caulking wasn't thick enough and now you can see into a gap.

Those are fairly normal, but they should def fix. I'm sure you would have mentioned it, but I would make sure I don't feel any drafts in doors/windows or any type of water leaks anywhere.

The front door has about a 1 inch section where the seal is slightly flattened and you can see light where it doesnt press against the door. When the wind blows into it, you feel it.
in the end, EMAW will always win.
Need a new hot water heater. Current tank is 60 gallons. A 75 gallon won’t fit & thru don’t make 60s anymore. I really don’t want to go down & I’ve heard tankless are a PITA.

I really don’t want to go down & I’ve heard tankless are a PITA.We got a Navien tankless heater about 2 years ago. It has been awesome. Unlimited hot water and no more fights about who used up all the hot water. I'm amazed at how efficient they are. The exhaust pipe is PVC that is cool to the touch even during heavy use. Just make sure you have it installed by an experienced plumber/dealer.

What scheduled tasks do you do to your house monthly/quarterly/yearly that more people should do? I looked up a frequency schedule and put it on my to do list to remind me and every time it comes up I'm like I don't need to do that. crap like 'wipe down the walls', etc. eff that.
