We’re finally getting our dishwasher installed! Hurray!!! You see, we bought it back on Easter Monday. Naturally, the specific model we wanted wasn’t in stock so it had to be ordered. Our salesman, Joe, was pretty decent and said it would probably be about a week. It was actually closer to two weeks as we got the call this past Friday letting us know it was in. I called them back to make arrangements for the delivery and installation of the dishwasher. It’s probably not too difficult to install, but a) I’m not confident enough in my plumbing abilities to tackle such a project and b) I’m not going to risk writing off a $1000 dishwasher to save $100. Thanks, but no. So I was told that delivery and installation would take place on Monday – our day off. Delivery took place. Installation, not so much. So I gave Joe a call yesterday and he said he would make sure it happened. As a side note to this story, when I called him, I identified myself as “This is Rob Allison. We bought a Maytag dishwasher from you on Easter Monday”. He said that he remembered. Here’s the thing – he really did. He remembered that we could only have it delivered on Mondays or else it would have to be after 6pm the rest of the week. Very cool. Anyhoo – back to my story. He was going to give us a call to let us know when the installation was happening. We needed to get groceries and when we hadn’t heard from him by 5:30 I gave him a callback. He’d been trying to get ahold of the installer all day and promised to call us as soon as he did. He called this morning to let us know that the installer will be coming out tomorrow night to install the dishwasher. Finally. So now we just have to avoid eating food that uses plates tonight and tomorrow night.
On another topic. You may noticed that we haven’t really posted much lately. There’s a reason for that. Spring is here and we’re golfing. A lot. You see, we’ve got Tiger Woods 2004 for the XBox and that has been occupying a LARGE portion of our time. Oh, you thought we meant actually physically going out to the links and chasing a ball around 18 holes? Outdoors? Who do you think we are?
Nikki’s got a monthly checkup tomorrow so she may have a post to make tomorrow on the results of that. We’ll see. It depends a lot on the whole golf thing…
