any good handy plumbers?
I'm looking at buying a dishwasher in the next few weeks. Looking to install it under my kitchen counter. I need to find someone handy who can install it once I make the cut out. The guy has to have experience with all the aspects of plumbing and such, and installing a garbage disposal, plus a new faucet. I'd like to help out some Ifisher would is looking for work if possible, but want a guy who's good and reliable.
Email me if you are interested or know of anyone.
Thanks a bunch.

Re: any good handy plumbers?
Faucets: Easy...very easy
Garbage Disposal: Easy except for the electrical part
Dishwasher: Pretty funny to see your post, I just installed a new one at our house yesterday. Was fairly simple to do. Again, biggest hurdle will be routing electricity to it. Other than that, they are simple.
Good luck!

Re: any good handy plumbers?
Jeff,
when are you coming over.? So the plumbing portion
was cake. I probably can do all that, but I don't like to deal with power issues.

The electrical is easy too. I would recomend putting in another breaker and a new circut.

Re: any good handy plumbers?
I was replacing one, so I already had wiring and a water line there. Even if I didnt have the water line, it would be very easy to run one from the sink line. Electrical I know little about though.

Keta could do it with one eye tied behind his back. :grin: If he couldn't, he could probably find something in the barn that could

Re: any good handy plumbers?
yep, I'm starting from scatch. Been washing dishes by hand, so It's going to be a bit of a project. Replacing one whould likely be a smooth
operation.

Re: any good handy plumbers?
Keta is right. It's really pretty easy...even for someone with little or no experience to do...incuding the electrical.

Re: any good handy plumbers?
According to code, the disposal and the DW have to have their own circuits, meaning 2 new breakers and circuits. Neither one will draw that many amps, so if you can't do it legal, one 20 amp circuit would probably do okay. Just check the amp rating and the disposal and the DW.
