      Plumber needed

      I need the following things done:

      For both toilets:
      1. Replace the valve sticking out of the wall on the feed line to the tank
      2. Replace the gasket in the tank connecting it to the bowl (with the type of toilet I have, this requires the tank to be unbolted and removed)

      Replace the kitchen sink faucet.

      I already have all the parts for the toilets. I haven't picked out a new kitchen faucet yet though.

      Let me know what this will cost me. Thanks.

      I need to figure out what sort of faucet I want in the kitchen, but I'd like to get this done within the next week or so.

      How about the toilet valves inside the tank (thinking; Fill Valve, Flush Valve, Bowl Gasket And bolts)? Good time to replace them while your draining the tank and replacing the copper supply valve and rubber gasket at the base of the tank. Usually a universal "kit" for about $20-$35.00 depending on what comes in it.

      FOR ME; I'd say an hour on both toilets, and an hour on the sink faucet. $100.00 labor (I should probably PM you this... to avoid a price war)

      If you can afford it ($300+)... "touch faucets" are awesome. Just did one on a woman's kitchen sink, and it was sweet.

      I was being lazy in my typing. Yes, I bought the whole mechanism to replace, not just the gasket.

      I didn't think about the bolts themselves, though. Hmmm....

      Shooot... go another $80 or so, and it could be "touch". Touch is pretty darn cool once you've used one. I mean, I tend to "touch" everything now... like, as-if it should turn on... Hilarious when my wife catches me.
