Today was a bit of a victory in terms of getting this beautiful new Stainless sink installed. I went through Lowe’s, and it was a crock-o-dookie. First, you pay a $40.00 fee for two dudes (plumbers) to come to your home and assess your specific situation. Fine. that part was completed quickly. What happened next was a complete disconnect between Lowe’s and the Installers. I waited a week, nothing. So I hopped in my truck and headed for Lowe’s and asked for a manager.
I was greeted by the Installations Manager. good! I explained my frustration in a nice way as possible, then she went to her nearby office and vanished. I never spoke with her again. After having to set down because my back was getting disgruntled too and being there for about twenty minutes, I get a call from a plumber. Installer. We scheduled the install four days ago over the phone and by golly, they showed up on time and did a fabulous job and I told the dudes, great job too.
As for using Lowe’s again? Probably not. There are other ways to get this job completed, hassle-free.
Good grief – welcome to home ownership right? This is not the first home I’ve owned at my age, but after living in an apartment for nearly three years, I apparently had become used to how things are repaired or replaced living the apartment life. And honestly, I am grateful for this home and being able to fix it up. And for the exercise and staying so busy since I moved here. It’s a labour of love, still a ways to go and a great way to build equity in your home along the way. Thanks for listening!
The ugly Plantation Shutters will be replaced (with same), and the cabinets resurfaced soon!
very nice sink
Nothing is ever easy…..but, that there is a very nice sink! 🙂
Thank you! Not a bad choice for a guy aye? 😬
Congrats, and here‘s to washing the dishes 😂
I wash the dishes by hand, uses less water and is faster I believe.
👏👏👏👏
Washing the dishes by hand uses less water than a dishwasher? Only if you were to run the dishwasher half-empty, I’d say! 😉
I live alone so there are very few dishes and mess to clean up. It would be way less than half full.
You should start baking then. One cake can generate more dirty dishes than a family of 5 in a week does 😀 😀
Well, since I’m diabetic, cakes and I don’t do well together these days! Always something, right?
Awh, well fair enough then!
I also like the granite. Nice sink!
Thanks! 😎
Glad it all worked out. The Lowes installation manage did leave you hanging or was that sitting. Either way not professional.
Not at all Tim. I can try a different location next time…
Very nice double stainless! I like the counter top too.
Thank you guys! I really appreciate that. I wanted something different and this fit the bill perfectly. ☺️😬😎
Forgot to mention, the granite was there when I purchased the home. Worth keeping.
