Andy the Boss Plumber and Mike the Plumber arrived this morning. I heard Andy giving Mike his marching orders. Not only were the faucets in the kitchen and half bath going to be installed, the dishwasher and the range would be also.
I couldn't really remember what the dining room looked like without the range, draped with an old mattress pad, sitting in front of the buffet.
But first to get it into the kitchen. The first attempt was stymied by the swinging door between the dining room and the kitchen. Mike the General Contractor showed up just a little too late to prevent them from jamming the range in the doorway. He walked in as I was saying, "You are hung up on this side and it won't make it through."
Later Mike says to me, "What? Couldn't they have measured before they scratched the door." So there are two chips which will have to be sanded and repainted, probably by John the Carpenter or Mike. Since I am painting the rooms myself, his painting crew is not scheduled.
But Mike the Plumber did get all his work done. Frequently, I would hear him groaning and making other noises which led me to believe that he was having problems. When I told my Sweetie about it, he said that he thought that Mike was listening to talk radio. I had noticed his earbuds. Silly me, I thought he was listening to music. Thank goodness he used earbuds.
One of the coolest innovations we found was this.
Nifty Disposer Switch It is on the left in the following picture. I have always hated the switch on the wall to activate the disposer. Invariably a guest or a forgetful homeowner flips it thinking that they are turning on a light. No more. Now a puff of air will activate the disposer.

Half Bath FaucetI think the old lady likes her new "jewelry".
