Well, 2 months ago I put in an order and a month later it was delivered. It sat in the middle of the kitchen and I used the giant box as a place to store books, notes, keys, and my wallet. I told Tunga, "Why don't you come over Friday night and we can take care of this?" He agreed, as long as he got dinner afterwards. Taking out the old dishwasher was a breeze. We cut off the electricity and all was fine. Putting in the new one was a monster. None of the parts matched, the instructional manual was absolutely useless, and we sat there scratching our heads trying to figure it out, especially with the non-matching tubes to drain water.
This is all work on the ground, too, and we were using our cell phones to give us light. At one point, my glasses fell off, and when I rolled over to get them, I jabbed my eye with the stem. It was pitched black and the stem of the glasses when right into my left eye sock. I said, "I shall be blind very soon."
Long story short, we ended up putting the old one back in - the one that doesn't work. This was needed so we could put the water back on. . So, I said, "I'm calling someone to install the new one."
Alas! Wola! Go Figure! When we put the old one back in, the lights came back on. Everything worked just fine. It was humming as if it was brand new. So, now I have take the new one back, which is fine by me...I just saved a chunk of change.
Meanwhile, I spend today with teachers and my bloody eye...just in time for Halloween.
In Tunga's head, "You forgot your computer, you bring me into this fiasco of a night, and now what?"
Well, I took him to dinner, so I hope he'll be okay.
Sometimes, life's just insane, but I will note: from now on I'm ding inside jobs during day light. No use working in the dark after the electricity is cut off if you don't have to.
I think I see the light...or are those floaters.
