    Default Need a licensed plumber for a quick job

    Bad news: Gas valve on my water heater shit the bed.

    Good news: they're sending the part under warranty.

    Bad news: The wife doesn't think I should do the replacement since there's natural gas involved, wants a licensed plumber to do the job.

    If you are a licensed plumber and feel like making a few bucks on a cash side job, or know someone who is, and does, please drop a PM.

    Thanks, Jim

    What Dave said, pretty easy. One tip - use a backup wrench when taking it apart and when putting it back together.
    My son had a plumber replace his wax ring on his toilet - $230, ouch.

    Yeah, I'm confident I could do the job in about 20 minutes, but the wife...
