– – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n Today’s adventure, began yesterday, July the 18th. Back on July 12th, when the Home Depot crew came here to our Condo to install our brand new washer\/dryer combination, they couldn’t do so because the on\/off, hot\/cold water valves into our washer\/dryer, being 40 years old, were completely non-functional. If you can’t turn off the water, you can’t remove the old washer\/dryer hoses and install the new unit because to do so, would flood our condo with water !<\/p>\n Monday, July 18th.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n At 10am, Bill, our maintenance guru who Patti has known and worked with for 32 years, and his able assistant Bryan, arrived at our Condo to remove and replace the on\/off water valves into our washer\/dryer. Last Friday, the five other families living in our Condo were formally and officially notified that today there would be a short period in the morning when the water in the building would be off. Bill and Bryan, the ultimate professionals, were in and out in less than one hour.<\/p>\n Tuesday, July 19th.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Knowing the hours (6am to 8pm) that the Home Depot crew would be at our Condo, we went to sleep with our smartphones turned on.<\/p>\n At 7:52am this morning, sure enough, our phone rang. I was told by the Home Depot crew that they would be here in 15 minutes. Luckily I had been up briefly at 7:30am so I was NOT sound asleep.<\/p>\n Below is a photo of the U-HAUL truck they arrived in last Tuesday.<\/p>\n In the below photo snapped today, it looks to me like the same U-HAUL truck they had a week ago. Pretty funny the Home Depot renting a U-HAUL truck for their deliveries.<\/p>\n The time has come for our dearly beloved washer\/dryer, a household appliance that has been an important part of our lives for some 32 years, to leave us forever !<\/p>\n For a 40 year old unit, it still looks very nice doesn’t it ? We take very good care of our appliances.<\/p>\n I greatly enjoyed being able to watch how these professionals handled a large and bulky item.<\/p>\n They made it look like a feather. I couldn’t even budge it when it was sitting in its enclosure.<\/p>\n In the below photo, you can clearly see the harness between them that they employed to move it with such ease.<\/p>\n My last view of our beloved washer\/dryer.<\/p>\n The brand new washer\/dryer.<\/p>\n That has been living in our bedroom for the past week.<\/p>\n Now in place in its very own enclosure.<\/p>\n We were very, as in VERY, impressed with the Home Depot crew. I gave them a $20 gratuity that they were shocked and very pleased to receive. They said they don’t get much appreciation for what they do.<\/p>\n And off the two of them drove.<\/p>\n A Day In Our Lives.<\/p>\n Cap and Patti<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No !
