So I have plumbers getting back to be with quotes on installing my replacement water heater. How can they justify $600 to install a new water heater? There is a pipe coming in and a pipe coming out if the heater that has to be connected. There's also a propane hose that has to be screwed in. I see an hour and a half of work there. Do plumbers make more than doctors and lawyers now?

Do they legally need special equipment to work with the propane?

I only bring that up because I think that's what makes car's AC work so much.

Most of the time, the idiots that you hire know less about what they are doing than you, so I do most of this shit myself. I replaced my hot water heater a week and a half ago. It's pretty simple......one cold shower and an hour and a half later I had hot water.

The girl in work just got a hot water heater from Sears and if they installed it it would be an additional $259.00....but her husband knew someone who did it form them for free.
