You need a plumber for that job.

Most places won’t hook up a gas stove anymore. You have to pay extra for gas stove installation. Fortunately, my hubby knows how to do it, so when we replaced ours it was easy for him to install it. Other people we know had to hire someone, or have the gas company come out to install their stove. Things are definitely NOT like they used to be! Frank is rude, and a pain in the bohunk, but he’s right.

I know these two guys with a donkey who would be glad to help.

Skeezix is one bad mechanic if he can’t turn off one valve and un screw the gas line flex connector !

Joel did come over this morning, and as we were watching the sun rise on the back porch, while drinking coffee and each having a bowl of rum flavored burley leaf in our pipes, he said he “was ready, willing, and able” to give Skeezix a hand. I am very hopeful that Skeezix takes him up on the offer and realizes what a good friend, Joel is.

PG&E will come out and do it. They discourage do it yourselfers because of accidents.

You certainly don’t want any leaks, so a certified installer is a must. Most, but not all, plumbers are licensed to do both and you’d want to make sure before hiring. BIG difference in potential damage between a small water leak and a small gas leak.

If you want to replace your dishwasher in this state, you need to hire a carpenter, plumber and electrician.

Or you can do it yourself if you have half a brain.

Now it’s Skeezix’s responsibility to do THAT?! That does it!!! Because both he and Nina need to do something with that big time jerk.

“Now about that extended service contract…”

Forget your hearing aid Skeezix ?

I once bought an electric range at an appliance store, and I pointed out to the salesperson that there was no power cord. He said that would cost extra.

As long as he doesn’t ask Slim to come install it.
