I had issues with Lowes on a dishwasher a couple of years ago. Vicki and I went to Lowes and bought one to take home and install myself to replace our old one. How hard can it be? I've done it a couple of times before. I asked what they charged for their plumber to do it? $75!! No thanks.
We got it home and I started trying to squeeze my big butt into a door under our corner cabinet, that was many sizes too small, where the pvc piping and shut-offs were located. Since I couldn't fit and my arms were about 6 inches too short, I managed to snap off the pvc line to the hot water. I about drowned before I could get out from under the sink to run to the whole-house shut off. I called and left a message with our plumber/friend. He was going to be in the neighborhood the next morning and would swing by.
He and his much-smaller sized son got there and had it fixed in 5 minutes. I told him I had turned down the offer from Lowes for their plumber to install it. The 2 of them started laughing and asked who did I think would have done the work for Lowes? The 2 guys standing in my kitchen.
BTW, the bill??
$75-------------------I kid you not!!! Of course the issue was not the dishwasher or Lowes, it was the cheapskate typing this. Vicki said the next time I got that bright idea, she would just write them a check herself.
