| Who has a guy that can replace a garbage disposal? I'm sick of being under the sink and have reached out to two companies that wanted $240 and $250. I have the replacement. |

They are pretty simple to replace. Very simple if there is already one there. If you get a larger one use a car jack to lift it up into position. |

Simple to replace, don't need a pro. Know any jobless guys that would do it for a few bucks?
FWIW, I took a public health engineering course and garbage disposals were highly frowned upon and added to the design capacity. I've taken mine out, just something very easy to live without (in a rural setting anyhow) and if you have a septic you are doing yourself a favor. |

I do many of these a year. A good one, and who wants a crappy one that will leak, will run about 90-100 bucks. That leaves 100-125 for the guy who gets to lay on his side and back under your nasty sink while swapping the electrical cord over. That said, I'm an old semi-retired guy who does them for 160 bucks. Ask around, you will find someone to knock it out for you. |

I'm just seeing stuff like this is starting to make more more financial sense to do yourself if you can. Fortunately for contractors there's so many people that won't/ can't touch it that prices typically are aligned to the demand. |

See if the plumbing lines are a good fit, had to re-engineer some of the lines to fit. Turn off power to that breaker and put tape over the switch if you DIY.
Thats why I do as much maintenance on my cars and house as I can, at $120/hr I can buy alot of tools or even if it takes double the time, it worth it. Quoted:

I've got no doubt they're easy to replace, I've just not had any luck removing the existing one and have decided it's time to have somebody else do it. |
