garbage disposal:1 / chris:0

well, house is bought,
trees are trimmed,
fire pit in the backyard built,
divots from previous owners furniture somewhat repaired,
starting to fill the garage with tools and jeep parts.
15 days 2 hours 26 minutes til we walk down the isle, (give or take)
so life is good right?

hmm..

the day before yesterday and the day before that my beloved was in town cleaning the house and we decided we needed three things. new faucet fro the kitchen sink, new shower heads for the master bath, and a garbage disposal.

not a problem, I can do that.
So we head down to Pittsburgh to the home depot, the sink we wanted was outta stock, found a shower head that was nice, and a garbage disposal. Little did I know..... (shutters)

I take a look at the shower head, think no problem, go back to the apartment for some plumbers tape and we are good.

Lets take a look at our new disposal.

on instructions i read
tools needed: pliers, screwdriver, plumers putty, and wire strippers.

step one, remove old disposal.
uh..... old one?

step two: chances are your old disposal had a smart lock seal already inplace...
wait..... old? smart lock?

remove electrical wiring from old unit.....
ELECTRICAL?
lemmie check... nope no power anything under the sink. crud.

disconnect old unit by twisting old smart lock system...
we have been over this. NO OLD UNIT! what the flying snot is a smart lock?

at this point I put down directions and stare at my opponet who is sitting there smugly on the counter as if to say, "ha, welcome to joy of owning your own house pal."

Time to write some new instructions.

tools needed:
64 volt chordless drill.
1" paddle drill bit.
2 foot pipe wrench
cable cutters
wire splicers
sledge hammer
channel lock pliers
wire nuts
drywall knife
and lots of prayer

You may have won this round disposal, but I will win the war

SO...
I need a power source under the sink for starters....
Sounds like a case for guy ensim,
