Robert Schlosser says he can replace a toilet shutoff valve and escutcheon in five minutes.
Without a sleeve puller.
Because of that, he thinks we shouldn't charge for the work.
What do the plumbers think?
Should we charge for a five minute job of replacing the shutoff, included ferrule, back nut and wall plate?
Can it in fact be done in five minutes by anyone?
What is the average time to shut down the water to the home, drain the pipes out low enough to prevent ruining the floors, pull the back nut off, replace the wall plate, the shutoff, and then get the water back up in the home?
Five minutes?
Is is this guy just trying to work me?
