Appliances Have Arrived! .... Well, almost ...

OK -- I like Home Depot and Lowe's, both. This time I got my appliances from Lowe's because my credit is tied up at Home Depot on a water heater purchase and installation. That's why it's a good idea to have accounts at both Home Depot and Lowe's -- they're basically the same, anyway, except one is orange and the other is blue, right?

Well, I was told last night (Friday) that the appliances would be delivered between 3-pm and 6-pm. So, I show up at 3-pm and I wait. And I wait ... and wait some more!

Finally, at 5:45 pm I get a call from the delivery crew and I am told they are "running a little behind" and I'd see them in about 45 minutes. So ... I wait some more!

They do show up and unload the appliances and, oh, by the way .... my dishwasher was damaged at the warehouse, so they did not bring it. A replacement is on order and I should see it in a week or two! What?! My contractor is expecting to install the dishwasher this week! OK - don't panic! I'll contact Lowe's on Monday and see what I can do to expedite delivery.

This should pose no delay since my contractor has about two more weeks of work left to complete the job and get the little details ironed out. So I'm not concerned - yet.
