I know, not the most exciting of activities....
Well, Lowe's remains in the not-great category of fullfilment venues. Yesterday, I got texts informing me of the delivery time, etc. for the dishwasher, which was fine.
But then a few hours later I got a phone call from the warehouse telling me "sorry, we don't have stock of the dishwasher". Told me that nearby Chapel Hill store had 4 actually in stock and I could go there to purchase. So that's what we did. It's about a 45 minute drive - traffic was backed up on the main thoroughfare so we drove thru downtown Chapel Hill just to be moving. Was a bit fun just to see if anything had changed in the few years since we'd been downtown. (Nothing had changed!)
Uneventful purchase of the last one of the dishwashers (remember, the warehouse guy said they had 4). I think they have an inventory control problem!
Since we'd passed a Chinese restaurant we had frequented in the past, we decided to go back that way and stop in for a late lunch. My sis will remember this one as we met there for lunch sometimes "back in the day".....and it hasn't changed one bit either.
Back at the house, Duane did his magic and installed the dishwasher with me mostly holding a flashlight for him.....nothing is ever easy and a new hole was required in the cabinet due to a difference in the drain hose design. No worries as it's all hidden from view. Glad to have a working dishwasher again.
