Hi there,
First, I do not mean to piss off any Master Plumbers, with that said, I am looking for somebody that can run some PEX for me and replace copper pipes in a one bath room house. I had somebody that was going to do it, however, they took the money and ran. I do not need a Master Plumber, just someone that can replace some PEX, I will buy all materials. The walls are already opened up and I will open up the one remaining that you may need to replace the last line. It's pretty easy stff for anyone that knows plumbing from what I am told, (preferably atleast have a little undertanding of code for my area.)

The only other thing need is for you to add a dishwasher drain to my sink.

I'm told it's about 2-8 hours work depending on how quick you are, but I don't know much about it.

Willing to pay up to $15- 25 per hour but would like any interested person to take a look at it to see if the 2 people who told me how long it would take are full of sh!@.

Please let me know if you interested, I am in Dover, NH and can jump on this any time you can.

A couple references would be great as well or your boss if this is a side thing

If you plan on replying to this, please plan on coming by to take a look at the job you we don't waste each others time..

NHMaster, you should respond to the ad, get his address and edumacate mr.homeowner!
They finally changed the law here in Minnesota last fall. Nobody acts as plumbing contractor in this state without a license.
Before that, Minnesota allowed anyone without a license to do Any plumbing in Any town of 5000 or less. You would not believe some of the stuff I come across here.
We still have a local handyman that tries, even got brave and put an ad in the shopper for plumbing and electrical. I turned him in, the ad is gone.
