We had been expecting the new appliances to be delivered, but thought we would have more notice than they gave us. Falers called about 9:30 a.m. and said they would be here by noon with the stove and dishwasher. Joe went right to work disconnecting the old ones. He really had a job getting first the dishwasher all disconnected. We got the power off, and he unwired and then got the plumbing undone. It was tough and was so tightly connected it took most of the time to get it moved out. Then the stove was taken out and the downdraft fan came out just as the delivery truck drove up into the yard about 11:30. The men were very helpful and nice and soon the old dishwasher and stove were taken out and new appliances were carried in. Joe had to cover the hole in the floor where the downdraft fan had been vented.
This was a long awaited moment, ......But wait!! As they came out of the boxes I saw .......they were the wrong color. I ordered black and these were white. I pretty quickly but reluctantly made the decision to keep the white ones because it would have been another three weeks to have them order and deliver black ones. Joe was the one who kept saying he wanted black. We could do without the dishwasher - I had been not using it for quite a while anyway - but we needed the stove. Both the old ones were basically trashed just getting them out and the men would take them to the dump. They plugged in the stove, and in the next few days Joe got the new dishwasher hooked back up. Luckily since he can do those things we didn't need a service man to come. But now we have the two white appliances and a black refrigerator. Perhaps in a year or so we can get a white refrigerator although this one is pretty new. With both new being so computerized, we had to learn how they worked. It took a little while, but even Joe is able to get all the right buttons pushed.
I had turned on the computer this morning, but when I tried to work with it nothing would open, not even the mouse. I called Best Buy but had to leave a message, the first of several.
I still had the pale b.m. and when I weighed had lost some weight. I had been able to google and find that this probably had something to do with a bile duct obstruction. If it didn't get better in another day or so, I would get a doctor appointment.
