    • @thewoggerswaydiy
      @thewoggerswaydiy День назад

      Just FYI, the Glacier Bay faucets, like many now, have a rubber seal built into the base of the faucet or plate which negates needing to use plumbers putty or silicone and provides a good seal on flat surfaces. If you have a tile countertop and there is a grout joint under the base plate, then it's still a good idea to use putty or silicone.

    • @thewoggerswaydiy

      Not all supply outlets sell "quality" fixtures. Some here in Las Vegas sell some low quality stuff (that they charge a premium for) that you have a hard time finding parts for if anything goes wrong down the road. The Glacier Bay (House brand of Home Depot) have decent products (Sure, some of their lines may be a little below par, but for the most part they are decent). I've been installing them for 14 years and haven't had any major issues. Biggest problems I've had are clogged carts due to hard water deposits, but that happens with all brands, no matter how "high end" they may be. The nice thing about the Glacier Bay brand, is that most parts are readily available at a Home Depot in order to make a quick repair, if needed. Compare a $99 Glacier Bay high arc kitchen faucet with pull down sprayer to a $400 Kohler and it's not a tough decision. It all comes down to aesthetics and price for most people. When it comes down to $400 for a Glacier Bay (faucet and installation) compared to $1,000+ for a similar looking Kohler, most people with go with the $400 option. I would stay away from most off-brands available from Amazon. Some have a great build quality but I've yet to find one that I can get parts for.

    Fair price. I recently bought online a replacement kitchen faucet (Pfister) with a new one ($202 Delta) from Home Depot. I chose the option to pay for the fixture installation for an additional $135. The plumber and his son (apprentice) drove an hour round-trip and installed the faucet in about 45 minutes, which included explaining why my previous unit failed and why Delta is a better brand. I appreciate any trades person who makes my life simpler, does the job right the first time, and charges a fair price.

    If you have to ask, you can't afford it. Don't tell me a plumber is worth what they charge today. I have had issues with plumbers in the last few years. I have a couple of rental properties, and both of them have had water heaters replaced twice in just the last couple of years. In my home, I have had 3 water heaters in 6 years. No one can tell me a plumber is worth $ 850 per hour. My last water heater cost me $ 1783.00 to replace under warranty. He was in my home for a total time of 2 hours and 16 minutes from the moment he looked at the water heater to when he drove away. And he never pulled a permit for the replacement. That ended up costing me an additional $ 245.00 from the fine and a permit.

      @@DrixzyThePlumber IMO, this approach is not best practice, even if you did fix the issue... What if you fix the source of the spent gas fumes, but not entirely the CO? or what if there is a secondary CO leak? Human olfactory senses become desensitized by inhalation of CO (ansomia: smell blindness), which means, the more you expose yourself to it, the less you can accurately smell other things. So yeah you can do it that way, but your doctor would advise against it. Repetitive short-term exposure to CO can also cause long-term neurological and affective sequelae (google it)... and workers being exposed to it voluntarily like that is not OSHA compliant. Appropriate monitoring equipment to detect CO leaks and taking necessary actions to mitigate exposure if levels are above the 50ppm (PEL) are required by OSHA.
