In one of our manic moments earlier this month, Joe and I decided we needed a new dishwasher and ordered one from Sears. It will match the refrigerator. That leaves the stove the odd man out -- I always have one appliance that matches in color but isn't the same brand.
Anyway I requested that the dishwasher be delivered and installed on the same day, not wanting to have a large appliance sitting in the middle of my small kitchen for several days. I also ordered a kit recommended by the website for installation.
Joe and Sears have a personal relationship now as he has talked to them on the phone many times with updates on arrival and install times. When I agreed to the 24th as the arrival date, I wasn't thinking of it as the day before Thanksgiving, but that date meant there were several delays and it wasn't until 5:45 pm that a pickup truck pulled into the driveway with several dishwashers in the back. After all his phone calls, Joe had just left to pick up carry out Chinese from Yummy! Yummy! so he missed the grand arrival. I was expecting a much larger truck but out hopped two guys who began to unload ours. They brought it into the house and dove right into the job. One man asked me if I had ordered an installation kit but when I said I had, he had no paper work for it but had extra kits anyway. Just then a large white truck pulled up in front of the house and began beeping. The installers watched as a young man jumped down from his cab and brought us the installation kit, about the size of a notebook. He commented that it wasn't the first time that the only thing he had to deliver was the install kit with no dishwasher attached. At least, his timing was perfect.
By the time Joe got home with our dinner, the install was done, the water connection was being tested and the guys were ready to leave, taking the old dishwasher with them. No more will Joe and I open the door to have all the silverware fall out!
