Back in town...

Back in town...  And for a while this time.  I just got back (late last night) from running Debbie back down to Jamul.  We were on the road for just over 16 hours on Sunday, then I was on the road for 13 and a half hours yesterday.  I don't want to drive anymore :)

When I walked into the house last night, I saw our refrigerator and our range out in the middle of the floor, with tile installed where they need to go.  Hooray!  But ... the dishwasher was still in its hidey-hole in the cabinetry.  Turns out the installer (a kid who looked like he was about 12 years old) from Home Depot had hardwired a very short power wire to it.  So I turned off the breaker and disconnected it – only to discover that the juvenile installer had done a horribly unsafe installation job.  Yikes!  I spent the next hour on the phone to Home Depot, letting them know what I thought of their installation service (which I paid good money for).  I'm getting a refund.  I'm also not ordering their installation service again.  When I can easily do a better job myself, it just makes no sense.  If it's a difficult job, I'll hire a craftsman.  Someone who is at least 30 years old :)
