    Reasonable labor cost for sink, pipes, disposal, and faucet?

    Hi, We live in Arizona (not sure if that matters) and we are remodeling our kitchen. We're having new countertops put in with a new undermount sink provided by the fabricator. The fabricator installs the sink basin of course and we are responsible for everything else. Given the age and poor...

    What type of spray hose connection is this?

    Hello, I'm looking to remove our kitchen house sprayer from it's feed, and place a brass flare cap over it. But what kind of connection is in this picture? It's hard to get to so I want to know just how to remove it once I'm ready. And does it look like I'd be able to place a cap on it? Thank you

    Leaking kitchen sink fixture

    Hi, I need help with figuring out why the used sink I am installing is leaking from the faucet. I'm not a plumber, just a dabbler, so any and all help is appreciated. See the attached photo. I took a small video but I guess it's too large. Thank you.
