Took him about 45 minutes to replace the toilet and put in a new shut off valve. Got the "comfort" height toilet because I'm not getting any younger and I absolutely hate those plastic risers that people use. Got the easy to clean toilet seat too. Only cost $395 and he removed the old toilet. Not bad $75 an hour labor plus parts.</P> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P>Your plumber is a bargain compared to the ones in our area.</P> <P>As for do it yourself, recently our neighbor had an expensive item installed by a friend's husband who was not licensed.

He had to uninstall then re-install the item.

I have never tipped a plumber in my life. If someone comes into our home to repair an appliance, e.g. furnace, oven, etc, that's their job and we pay the bill. My husband owns his own transmission shop and no one have ever tipped him. That would just be crazy, you are paying for a repair and that's it.</P> Sat, 20 Sep 2014 15:18:03 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Quick-Please-do-you-tip-your-plumber/m-p/1267479#M455618 luvdoodles 2014-09-20T15:18:03Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Quick-Please-do-you-tip-your-plumber/m-p/1267489#M455620 <P>No. They are skilled tradesmen and make a great living.</P> <P>He should send you flowers after you pay his weekend bill!!!!!</P> Sat, 20 Sep 2014 15:19:43 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Quick-Please-do-you-tip-your-plumber/m-p/1267489#M455620 terrier3 2014-09-20T15:19:43Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Quick-Please-do-you-tip-your-plumber/m-p/1267494#M455621 <P>Thanks everyone!</P> Sat, 20 Sep 2014 15:22:46 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Quick-Please-do-you-tip-your-plumber/m-p/1267494#M455621 judgejudith 2014-09-20T15:22:46Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Quick-Please-do-you-tip-your-plumber/m-p/1267499#M455622 <P>No, the tip is built into the cost IMHO.</P> Sat, 20 Sep 2014 15:41:02 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Quick-Please-do-you-tip-your-plumber/m-p/1267499#M455622 AnikaBrodie 2014-09-20T15:41:02Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Quick-Please-do-you-tip-your-plumber/m-p/1267504#M455623 That is his job, my husband has a job and has never been tipped for what he does, he gets a paycheck!
