Its this sort of logic that has folks go in for an oil change and come home with a new transmission.  Despite that, I acquiesced, and the two of us spent a good bit of time getting the thing installed.  Its pretty amazing how nasty the stuff in and around old plumbing can be.  Blech!

I still have to hook up the water lines to the faucet (I need longer connectors).  I also need to pull out the dishwasher to hook up the power for the disposal.  Rather than install a new wall switch, I&#8217;ll probably use an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smarthome.com\/2250AC.html\" target=\"_blank\">inline X10 module<\/a> to turn the disposal on and off.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"10\">\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"08030021.JPG\" width=\"319\" height=\"209\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"08030024.JPG\" width=\"245\" height=\"240\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of course, the minute I pull out the dishwasher, I&#8217;ll hear &#8220;As long as you&#8217;ve got it out, you might as well install the new dishwasher&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Which is what I&#8217;ll do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I managed to get two major &#8220;Sundayish&#8221; things done &#8211; one was putting together a three piece furniture set I had purchased at Home Depot: They were being closed out at $80 &#8211; not too shabby!
