1.30How much would it cost to have some exposed plumbing sawed and capped in a commercial space?
Q.I'm leasing a commercial space (in Blaine, Minnesota) and in order to pass the building inspection I need to have some exposed plumbing (left from the previous business, a salon) sawed and capped. Any price estimates would be appreciated.
A.You probably have to have the plumbing capped behind the wall. That being the case there will probably be drywall repair involved as well.
If there are exposed water lines, the water to the space (or building, depending on the mechanical layout) will have to be shut off and all the lines drained in order to cut and cap the lines.
Unfortunately the price will greatly depend on the number of drains and waterlines that need to be cut and capped. I would expect to pay 300 to 500 dollars for a professional to do the work. This is just a rough guess based on what my company has charged in the past for similar work. You could be looking at much more if you are talking about a large space with lots of plumbing.
1.10How much does plumbing cost to start a Yogurt shop?

A.You would really have to contact a commercial plumber for this.

A.Take the jobs where you can get them.
Usually commercial pays more.
Try not to discriminate either.
1.00Can a licensed class 'b' general contractor legally do plumbing without a plumbing license?
A.I looked into this too and this is what I found.
Yes, you can do plumbing but you cant certify it. In other words, you can build the whole plumbing, but then you will need a licensed plumber to come over and check it out and do all the peperwork. For example, you cannot install a boiler of a furnace, only licensed people can do that, but you can set all the pipes that go from the furnace to the house.
If you have a freind and hes a licensed plumber, you are all set. Ask him if he would certify your work for some money in exchange. The whole job needs to be certified before home inspection comes.

1.00Any plumbers out there? PLEASE HELP! is my hubby being underpaid?
Q.I asked this once but didnt get many answers last night so here it goes again...and im sorry i know its long. can you please help me?
my hubby started plumbing at the age of 18 (now 26) in residential. he can do practically anything when it comes to plumbing a new house. im really not sure what everything is called so excuse my lack of knowlege here. but i know he can do inside and outside work for the houses. now with the industry the way it is...he has moved on to commercial industrial plumbing and has been in this field for a few years. i couldnt tell you exactly what all he knows but he is very good at what he does i know (ive heard ppl compliment him) and is a very hard and dedicated worker. he is plumbing HUGE jobs alone (example...petsmarts, hotels, apartment buildings, ect). he is doing undergrounds and using equipment. he is working for a man (basically sub contracting but getting paid weekly for the jobs). this is the only man he is working for and he keeps him very busy since my hubby is the only one who subs thru him. he doesnt even have a helper (well on certain days my bro helps but not everyday). again im not sure what all he can do but i know he is doing these jobs alone...dealing with the inspectors, laying out the jobs alone..basically running the show. everything but finding the jobs. HE DOES NOT have any kind of a licence tho. the man who runs the company is the one pulling permits ect. right now we are working on him going to school to get a licence but the thing is...we cannot afford school!!! i think he is underpaid for everything he does. he gets a regular pay of 650.00 per week (not by the job as a normal sub would get). he is also not on salary so days when he has to come home early for things that didnt work out right he loses pay. we also pay for the gas in the van he uses (i know he subs and we are responsible for that but this is ran a bit differently...kinda like an employee). the company provided the van. the way gas is we are definately using a 100 weekly in gas if not more. so basically 550 weekly he is paid. also taxes are not taken out. any thoughts or advice would be great. i think he is underpaid but what do you think? could he go to a company as a regular employee and make more? again he can do it all and if he doesnt know he is a quick learner. outside/inside/escavating ect on commercial and residential he can do. thanks
A.I'm not a plumber, but I know a very good website where you can find out whether your husband is being underpaid. I've linked to the page for an entry-level plumber (as your husband is unqualified, I'm afraid that's what he technically is) and it shows that the national US average is 1149 us dollars every 2 weeks, but that includes SS, 401k, etc, etc.
My personal opinion is that plumbers are in great demand right now and as long as he has the right tools, I would set up a sole-proprietorship and become a sub-contractor who gets paid by the job. This should be more lucrative, as freelancing business is pretty simple to maintain, I do it with Web Development from home, full-time.
