Is it best to hire a plumber or electrician to install a garbage disposal?

I currently do not have a garbage disposal and want to obtain quotes to install a new garbage disposal and have it tied to the nearby light switch that currently turns on/off the fluorescent light fixture above the sink (the light fixture also has an on/off switch directly on the fixture). Is it best to go to an electrician or a plumber for this type of work?

Conflicts in Kitchen Nightmares, are those true?

I watched almost all the Kitchen Nightmares (Gordon Ramsay)episodes. But I am confuse either the conflicts such as family problems, lazy employer/employees, and etc are real or not. Were that been organized by the producer/Gordon?
More over, how did Gordon make over the restaurant into a new look. Are those make over using Gordon’s money or the restaurant’s owner money?
hahaha…about the credit card…..
yeah, i don’t think Chef Ramsay would be doing something like that…Totally not his style….

The garbage disposal has a “rotten egg” smell and I’ve tried all remedies. What could the problem be?

The garbage disposal functions properly and grinds fine. It has had a “rotten egg” smell for the longest time. I’ve tried running it with diluted bleach, vinegar, ice, lemons. Nothing helps the smell for more than a day. An appliance repair man removed and flushed out the hose that attaches on the underside, but after a day the disposal smelled bad again. The appliance man said the “pipes” smell bad too. What do you think is the matter?
The sink and dishwasher also run properly. There is a filter water line also.

I need a handyman for the garbage disposal?

My garbage disposal is not working. It justs hums, even after checking the reset button. Any ideas on what the problem could be? What should I expect to pay a handyman for repair(s) of this nature?

Can garbage disposals be repaired?

My disposal sounded like it was grinding metal. I turned it off and reached in there and pulled out 4 parts. I guess 2 parts are the blades and the other 2 look like smooth round bolts.

One bolt has part of a washer still attached. Can these parts be replaced and reassembled, or is it time for a new disposal?

What features should I look for in a new one ?

5 year old son invites a neighbor friend to play, who always comes with older brother and younger sister.?

I am a Mom to a 5 year old and a 1.5 year old. A neighbor child who is also 5 and my son are friends. This child has a 4 year old sister and an 11 year old brother. The 11 year old picks up the 5 year old from the bus stop while I’m there picking up my child. He is always always talking to me, following me, non-stop. Often, I have to make sure his little brother crosses the street safely and such because he is more focused on talking then on his little brother. He seems academically ahead, but socially behind and apperas to have no friends his own age. My sons and I enjoy going to the neighborhood park. While I wouldn’t mind letting the 5 year old tag along, I do not feel that I can handle my two plus three more. And, yet, that is always what happens. The three show up and the 11 year old follows me around, doesn’t take responsibility for the younger ones at all and tells me when his siblings are doing something wrong, so I will intervene, so its not as though he is coming to watch them/care for them. Both parents are home to these children, which is another story. I am a stay-at-home Mom while DH is at work all day. I want my son to play with neighbor friends, but I don’t want to be responsible for all these other kids and have to entertain a socially akward 11 year old to boot. Today, we didn’t go to the park and went home. The 11 year old and 5 year old came knocking at my door (mind you the 5 year old and my son are friends). They were asking if we were coming to the park and I said we were in the middle of things right now, but maybe later. The 11 year old asked what. I told him my son is working on an art project and having snack, so MAYBE in 30 minutes we would go. He said he had chores to do, so I told him it was ok with me if the 5 year old stayed and played while he went home and did his chores. The 5 year old comes in and I’m thinking, good this worked out well. Five minutes later, the 11 year old is back. This time with his 4 year old sister. Geese! She comes in and does the art project too and has snack too. He asks if he can have snack. I asked, don’t you have chores to do. He then asked if he could take snack with him. Then proceeds to follow me around the house picking up every little thing asking “what is this?” Again, I ask “don’t you have chores to do?” Finally, he leaves. The little ones are playing nicely together. But, after an hour I escort them home so we can get on with our evening (it is a school night afterall). We get home and I start dinner. Five minutes later the 11 year old is back. He says his sister didn’t finish her drink and would like it. I told him I had already cleaned it up, which I did while the kids were playing before. So, he asked if she could have another one. I told him “no, I only have one left that I need for my son tomorrow.” He just stands in the doorway. I tell him I have to go, we have a lot to do. He asks “what?” Finally, I just shut the door.

I like the little ones, and my son especially likes the five year old. But the big brother is driving me insane!!!!! How can allow my child to have playtime with his friend without having to take on the whole kitchen kaboodle?
I know I need to talk to the parents, but I’m trying to figure out how to present this without pissing off the parents. They are our neighbors who and our 5 year olds get alone quite well. My husband and I fear that if we say something they will just cut off contact with us (at the least), not allow the young children to play together and, possibly, create an uncomfortable tense neighbor situation. We want to avoid that if possible. Any ideas on how to present this in the most effective, and yet neighborly/kindly manner.

I need to find these kitchen canisters!?

Deja vu experiences welcomed…?

Well, for the last few years especially I have noticed some deja vu. I don’t know what is happening to me, lol, but what I do know is that it almost totally alters my day. For example, I have the strangest connection with a key/mail holder in my kitchen. When I pick something up off of it, I stop–as if there is a surge going through my body–and there is an image of a ballroom or something with black walls and a checkerboard dance floor. Another thing I’ve noticed, aside from vertigo, is that I get very nauseous, as if all my energy has been taken from me. It does not last long usually, but my day somehow feels different afterwords I asked my parents where they got the holder from, and they said it was a marriage gift and was new at the time. That deja vu feeling may happen in other places outside my home. Lol, it’s a little embarrassing though–closing my eyes, standing there, getting dizzy and such. Also, I’ll have conversations with people that I distinctly remember having before, whether or not it was in a dream, and I can remember the location, conversation, etc. It’s really weird! What’s even more interesting though, and increasing in strength as time goes by, is that I can think about something (song, interesting “random” word, memory, tv show to name a few) and from that moment to an hour later, it will happen. Mind you, a lot of these thoughts are VERY random, as I am a random person, so it could be me thinking about the word “kaboodle” and 5 min. later, I’ll hear “kaboodle“. Both sides of my family have some sort of deja vu or psychic abilities of some sort, not strong though.

I don’t know what’s going on, but can someone give me some ideas?? And any of your own personal experiences are welcomed too! Thanks!

SN: I’m not a crackhead, I don’t do any drugs, drink, or have any multiple personality disorders. Just FYI, I feel like someone is going to tell me to lay off the crack or something smart like that…lol.

Fair apartment rental compensation?

My tenants were without kitchen sink.garbage disposal, dishwasher for 30 days due to a water leak problem and these
items had to be taken out for repairs to be done. Tenants say
they should get 100% off next months rent. Fair?? offered 50% What is fair Live in California

Would rotting wood smell only when Dishwasher is on?

Had a really foul odor over the sink, plumber came out – no leaks, but I ask that he replace the garbage disposal, he did and the smell was still there.

Figured out the smell happens only when the dishwasher is running or just finished. Called GE to have someone out to look at the dishwasher, but didn’t have the dishwasher on at all 4 days before repair guy came.

Guy who came out said it was ‘rotting wood’ and refused to take out the dishwasher to check it for leaks. He didnt even smell the odor until he actually turned on the dishwasher and about 5 minutes into it, the smell showed up.

I even smell it inside the dishwasher (the odor).. Yet, this guy was saying to ‘replace the wood’ but he never took out the dishwasher to look for leaks.

If it was the wood, wouldn’t that smell all the time?
The guy made one excuse after the other for not taking the dishwasher out (it would hurt the floor). Had the same floor for years and it was the one we had when the last dishwasher was taken out and replaced with this one.

Section 8 Tenant & Damages-Austin, Texas?

I have a Section 8 tenant that has been there for 8 months now and the contract ends on March 31. This tenant has done a lot of damages & refuses to pay. i also have the case work that owes me for her portion of the money for July, Oct. Nov. & Dec.
this is suppose to be in in mail on the 15th. I the mean time the Housing Authority Inspector did an inspection of the duplex unit. She is required to do the repair on the hole in the wall & the pest control for roaches. They are everywhere because she keeps a dirty kitchen. The inspector told me it is on me to take care of the ceiling fan that is missing one blade and the garage door that is off tract. A ceiling fan blade just does not disappear and as for the garage door the tenant told the tenant in the next unit that her boyfriend who is living there came home drunk and ran into the garage door. The inspector wants me to either take the garbage disposal out or replace it. it is in her contract that the garbage disposal is the tenants responsibility & he doesn’t care. She has it stopped up with something & continued to run it & it was smoking & leaking, so I told my maintenance man to cut the water off under the sick until she fixed it. Now it is put off on me to take care of this too. She is smoking in the unit and has a pet that is not on the contract and it states no smoking in the unit. All the walls & ceilings will have to be painted to get the smell out. The cat has no food or water anywhere or a litter box. She would not allow me to come inside the unit when the Housing Inspector was there. I had to stand outside while he did the inspection. Is there any way that I can Evict her? There will only be more damages in the unit if I wait until the contract is over & more roaches. Can I hold the check that will be sent to me for her part over the months and refuse the rent from Section 8 in order to get her Evicted in court?
Adrea, I think he is a person with an attitude that is unhappy at this time of year no doubt. I am happy in spite of what is going on
This one Judge i have to go in front of doesn’t accept Evictions unless the tenant owes money. He will not Evict on just damages. Section 8 does owe back payments for 6 months but I was told if they are paying HUDS part & the tenants then you can’t Evict even though rent was not paid in a timely fashion. I was wondering if anyone ever Evicted on just damages alone & a pet not on the contract & a boyfriend not on the contract. Section 8 said that is just hear say.

How can i get the smell of garlic out of the garbage disposal?

Some garlic peels and leftover cloves went in to the garbage disposal from our food processer and now the whole kitchen stinks of garlic. How can we (home-remedy-wise–NO products we need to go out and BUY) get this smell out? We already stuck some lemons in there and that didn’t help.

how easy is it to install a new garbage disposal?

we bought an old house and the garbage disposal is rusted through. is it easy enough to replace on my own? or should i pay the $165 to have home depot install it?

does having a garbage disposal eliminate a plumber?

I want to buy a single kitchen sink bowl cause right now i have a double bowl sink w/ a garbage disposal but I dont use it at all but my husband says its stupid to get rid of it since everyone wants a garbage disposal and it eliminates having to call a plumber since it will not clog up, is that true?

What is the best way to prevent maggots during a garbage collectors strike?

Hello all,

I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where the garbage men have gone on strike! There is nobody picking up garbage at the moment.
There are places where we can drop off our garbage, but I do not have a car. I live in a basement apartment, and I have been leaving my garbage in the bins outside, as I normally do, since the landlords say that they will bring mine to the garbage drop-off places when they bring their own.
Between the front door of my house and outside, there is a small enclosed staircase. Yesterday I saw 5 live maggots in the stairwell. I told my landlords, and together we removed the maggots and thoroughly cleaned and hosed down the entire stairwell area.
Today I saw 1 dead maggot in the stairwell. I removed it.
I poured some bleach near the opening of the stairwell, in the corners, and around any cracks that I found. I figured this may prevent more maggots from entering. I keep a garbage can in my kitchen, which I use for discarding food scraps, and I change the bag daily. Right now I give the bag to the landlords for disposal. Today I scrubbed that garbage can down with bleach.
I also poured bleach down my sink drains as a preventative measure.
Do you think I should be worried about a maggot infestation entering my house?
What other steps do you think I can take to prevent such a thing? I do not have any open windows and I very rarely see flies in the house.

Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

My Dog Just Carried In An Injured Neocon. If I Put It Back In It’s Nest, Will Its Mom Still Take Care Of It?

I mean, I don’t know what to do with it. I certainly don’t want it and all it wants to do is sniff its own farts while licking its butt. It does wag its tail when Rush Limbaugh or Satan comes on the telly on South Park, though, so it must have a home with somebody like that. Any idea what to do with it? I have a date tonight, and the garbage disposal is beginning to look like my best option.

Have to go. It’s “cleaning out” the cat’s sandbox again.

What can be done to eliminate litter on streets?

The careless disposal of wrappers, fast-food containers etc. is fast becoming an annoying problem in our neighbourhood. Many people just throw their garbage, wherever they just happen to walk. The City does not employ street cleaners. What would be the best way to battle this uncivilized behaviour? Who should pay for the clean-up? Should the use of biodegradable dishes and cutlery be made mandatory for the food industry ? Your suggestions are appreciated.
The thing is that not only I and other neighbours are tired of picking up garbage after these litter bugs. Please give us ideas of how to tackle this messy problem.

One Lazy Husband……….?

A woman could never get her husband to do anything around the house. He would come home from work, sit in front of the tv, eat dinner, and sit some more — would never do those little household repairs that most husbands take care of. This frustrated the woman quite a bit.

One day the toilet stopped up. When her husband got home, she said sweetly, “Honey, the toilet is clogged. Would you look at it?” Her husband snarled, “What do I look like? The tidy-bowl man?” and sat down on the sofa.

The next day, the garbage disposal wouldn’t work. When her husband got home, she said, very nicely, “Honey, the disposal won’t work. Would you try to fix it for me?” Once again, he growled, “What do I look like? Mr. Plumber?”

The next day, the washing machine was on the blink. When her husband got home, she steeled her courage and said, “Honey, the washer isn’t running. Would you check on it?” And again was met with a snarl, “What do I look like? The Maytag repairman?”

Finally, she had had enough. The next morning, the woman called three repairmen to fix the toilet, the garbage disposal, and the washer. When her husband got home, she said, “Honey, I had the repairmen out today.” He frowned, “Well, how much is that going to cost?” “Well, honey, they all said I could pay them by baking them a cake or having sex with them.”

“Well, what kind of cakes did you bake them?” he asked. She smiled. “What do I look like? Betty Crocker

Dishwasher repair man LEFT without fixing it! Why? foul odor?

I had a REALLY foul odor coming around right side of the dishwasher, over the sink. Last week I had a plumber here who said there were “no leaks” under the sink. I had him snake it and also put in a new garbage disposal.

still got the smell, had a contractor come out to replace wood at the bottom of the sink, smell still lingered.

Another plumber said he felt it was coming from the dishwasher and to have an appliance person take it out and make sure.

I called GE last week and they told me to have someone from their company to come look at it since they know “all the parts” of the machine.

The man from GE came out today and FLATLY refused to take the machine out. First he said because my ‘house call’ was free and to take it out and put it back in, there would be $150 charge. I was OK with that, but then he said that he won’t take it out because it will damage the floor (linoleum).

I bought this dishwasher 1 year ago and was told when put in there was no leaks. It worked fine up until a week and a half ago.

The man who came out just said it was “rotted wood”. We had not had the dishwasher on since I made the appointment last week, but as SOON as he ran it the smell came back.

If we need the wood replaced, fine, but shouldnt the machine itself be checked out since that is probably the souce of any water hitting the wood?

I dont get how he can say one minute the charge is $150 to take it out and the next not be willing to take it out because of the floor.

HELP
I do think the smell is coming from the dishwasher. Why does it only smell when that is running (or just ran). We left it off (as I said) for 5 days waiting for a repair person and there was no smell during that time.
Also, I have had the same floor for years now. My old dishwasher was removed to put this one in a year ago with no problems at all.

What can we do about our apartment complex?

My husband and I have lived in the same apartment for five years. We went out of town Saturday and returned Sunday to find our bedroom closet and bathroom flooded. Some of our belongings were ruined and part of the ceiling came down. This is the second time this has happened in that closet/bathroom since we’ve been there. The first time it happened it took them over 2 months to fix the hole in our ceiling. We also had water come down in our other bathroom a few years ago. There is a hole in our ceiling that the apartment complex never fixed. In our family room some water came down right by our patio door. The ceiling is stained brown and the apartment complex never did anything. When the maintenance man came to clean up the mess from the most recent flood, he sucked the water out of the carpet and threw away the carpet pad. He put the soaked carpet back in the closet and turned a fan on it to dry. This is the same thing they did the first time but this time it smells really really bad. If mold or mildew were to get into the carpet or drywall it could make us really sick. To make matters worse, a few weeks ago I had maintenance over to fix our kitchen sink from dripping. The guy dropped a part of the knob into the garbage disposal and left it. Me not knowing this turned on the garbage disposal but quickly turned it off after realizing something was down in there. I took it out but now our garbage disposal doesn’t work. I have called the office every week to see when they could replace it and they keep promising me it will be that same week. This week on Thursday it will be 4 weeks since I first reported that it was broken. We can’t afford to move right now and we’ve been trying to save our money for a house so finding another apartment in a different complex is out of the question. We have renter’s insurance but our deductible is $750 and I’m not sure that much got ruined when it flooded. My Wii Fit and the $300 remote controlled airplane I bought my husband for Christmas were ruined as well as all our shoes and some of my husband’s clothes. Shouldn’t the apartment complex be liable for this anyway since this has happened before? Not only that but is there someone I can contact about the apartment complex’s unwillingness to fix anything or replace the carpet/drywall in our closet?
Um vacations? We have NEVER gone on vacation. We went camping for ONE day and the airplane was a gift. And like I said, I have been saving.
I called my insurance company with whom I have renter’s insurance with. They told me that my insurance isn’t liable as the apartment comlex owns the pipes and we were not negligent and the people upstairs were not negligent. Called the apartment complex and the manager got an attitude with me. She asked me why I said it was a pipe that broke (that’s what the maintenance guy said) and what kind of stuff we had in our closet and how much water was back there (acting like we dumped it back there). She acted like they weren’t responsible and said she would call me back when she found out what was going on. I might end up getting a lawyer.

Am I being ridiculous, or should I let it go?

2 1/2 years ago I dropped my husband’s wedding ring in the kitchen. I believe it is wedged behind the dishwasher, which is part of the center kitchen island. I tried to unscrew the dishwasher and pull it out, but I’m not a plumber and don’t want to disconnect the pipes.
Hubby was not mad at all about the lost ring. We are very solid and stable in our 14 year relationship (married for 8). We both feel that a piece of jewelry does not signify the marriage. Eventually I bought him a new one. The original is plain gold band with an engraved inscription. The replacement is just a plain band. He does not wear his ring daily because of work.

Yesterday we had a plumber over due to our broken garbage disposal. I asked hubby to have the plumber pull out the dishwasher because in my heart, I know it’s there. But hubby didn’t ask the plumber. He said to just let it go. I just want to find that original ring! Is that being ridiculous?
EDIT: Some of you hit it on the head! Eventually the dishwasher will need to be replaced and if the ring is there-we’ll find it then. He says I am feeling guilty for losing it and I’m making too much out of it.
