In fact given my wife's need for perfection I insist that an major appliance be delivered and setup by the professionals. That way I avoid any possible screw ups. The best example is the garbage disposal I installed several years ago. I bought the thing, but not all the secondary stuff like plumbers putty and the new plastic connectors since the new disposal was a different size. Long story short, I ended up making several more runs to Lowes to get the stuff I needed to complete the mission.<br /><br />Nasreen: My schedule is a true pain. But it allows me to avoid the worst aspects of dealing with my coworkers.<br /><br />Pixel: Oh no, the kitchen will not be done until the last of January. Actually the counter top guy has cashed my wife's check but not yet put our house on his schedule. I don't think that guy understands my wife is an attorney.

I agree,...Sorry you had such a frustrating weekend. I agree, you deserve a week in the Caribbean as a Christmas present. And the kayak for your birthday.<br /><br />Thanksgiving is my second-favorite holiday - no gifts, no greeting cards, no pressure. It's all about the food, and I do enjoy cooking it. The only family around is our youngest son, so it's quiet. No pesky relatives.<br /><br />I've always managed to ignore the commercial frenzy of Christmas and to enjoy the same happy wonder and excitement of Christmastime that I felt as a kid. So Christmas is still my favorite holiday.<br /><br />And please tell me I understood this wrong... the stuff about redoing the kitchen. You're not attempting to do this <b>before</b> Christmas, are you? Because if you attempt that, you'll probably be googling "how to cook Christmas dinner on a hotplate" in a few weeks.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-85662883421268615122016-11-28T12:29:09.071-05:002016-11-28T12:29:09.071-05:00Happy Birthday!

If I had written about the details of the trials and tribulation of getting that dishwasher installed, I probably wouldn't be living right now.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.com
