I think I'll change my handle to Handyman99½. The homeowner says it will stick, and that's good enough for me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the plumbing forum. I have a job where the hot is on the right and the cold is on the left. I want to find out if I can swap the faucet handles.............

I think Nathan should start a new category titled "Handyman" They could go there and swap tips with each other and the rest of us would be prohibited from posting there.

My paperboy says it'll work, too.

Oh, and the cashier at the gas station as well.

I asked Pastor Tony this morning at church, and he says it'll work.

And my neighbors' 4-year old granddaughter is on board on this as well.



I haven't asked my cat yet. All she wants is food.

Just got back from the job. Man, that was easy peasy! They had plastic handles on the faucet, so I didn't even need to swap handles.... I just popped the little plastic buttons on the top off and switch 'em around. Red on the left, blue on the right. They paid me $600 to do this. Man, I am such a fantastic plumber!

When they were doling out the c-notes, the man of the house asked me about water pressure. He says he prefers a nice invigorating shower first thing in the morning. I suggested a Waterpik showerhead, but he said he already tried one, and they're junk.

So tomorrow, I'm going back over and install a 4000psi pressure washer on their incoming water line. Whenever he wants a 'refreshing' shower, just pull the choke, turn the switch to "Run" and pull the rope!

It is like the person who did it never ever even saw a tile job.

I bet they were thinking (proudly) "Look, I got the tiles to stick to the wall without falling off"
Or more along the lines of "what are apprenticeships good for. as long as you can cut straight and read a tape measure."

Look at every post from an electrician but maybe one guy.....from the start they disrespectful. They are in plain view as I type.

For the record, it wasn't 480 that called you an idiot [well maybe he did at some later point?]...but I called you an idiot first.

I demand my credit for being FIRST.


You should really just start your own thread to continue the conversation - like the other guy did.

A day later and you are still an idiot
Am I the first one to call you an idiot today as well?

Ah but it seems Mr480sparky and yourself learned somthing. The breakers being off will would not be a factor. It finally took a magazine article to explain what you guys couldn't. Simple as that.
