i guess we'll just have to handwash our dishes

about two weeks ago, we ordered our new dishwasher from lowes.  since it was the state-wide tax free weekend, and samsung was an additional 10% off, we knew we'd have a wait.

our dishwasher arrived in the store last friday, they called billy to let him know the installers would be calling tuesday.  they didn't call.  so billy tried to call them, and finally on wednesday, i was able to set up an appointment with them for thursday (today).

alice and i waited for them to come.  i took a before picture of our dishwasher, which i was super excited to have hauled away.


they came about an hour into the four hour window they had given (not too bad = )), and were professional and fast.  when they took out the old one i snapped another photo.


it only took them about 35 minutes to remove the old one and put in the new one.  after he had tested it, he showed me how to open the soap drawer, how to press various options, and where the time remaining display was.  he closed the door "tada" it was our new dishwasher.


but it was the wrong one. = (  this was a frigidaire, we ordered a samsung, not to mention this one was black and whe had ordered a stainless steel one.  all i could think was that billy was going to freak out!

so, he called out to the store, they confirmed that we had ordered a samsung, which he had on his truck, but the labels had been switched.  so we had someone elses dishwasher.  he apologized many times, and started to uninstall the frigidaire.

then his coworker called him outside.  i knew something was up.  yeah, so there was a huge dent in our dishwasher!  sad times = (


the installer called the store again, the contact on their end ordered us a new one, but it was on back order, so we still have no idea when we'll be getting our new dishwasher. 

since our move in date is set for the 28th, we'll probably be handwashing some dishes = (  so what's there now?


 you guessed it, it's our old friend = (
