If there's anything I hate doing, it's having to replace something I only care about when it stops working. In the last two years, new roof, new paint, new A/C, new faucets, new hot water heater, new windows, new ovens, and today?

New Garbage Disposal.

Thought this was gonna be something fun, like New Guitar Day, didn't ya?

Au contraire, this thread is mere click bait. But thankfully, installing it was a lot easier than the one I installed at my old house:

I paid someone else to do it.

 

[FragileThunder]

That was cruel and unusual punishment, Les.








Your appliances shouldn't treat you that way. I'm afraid I'm about to go through the waterfall of household failures myself. Dishwasher is on it's last legs, and yesterday the water supply line to the fridge started leaking...from somewhere inside the unit.

I thought it doubtful that we both got new guitars.
I have to replace my roof this year - it will probably cost more than the guitar did.

 

[bodia]

Ugh....I can relate. Had to drop almost $10k on a furnace the first week of December.

Based on my experience, unless you bought a very expensive guitar, it certainly will.

I bought and installed my own disposal when I had the kitchen remodeled. I did the plumbing part myself. I paid the little bit of extra money and bought the disposal with the stainless steel internal parts. They really are worth the extra money. Down here there are people with seasonal homes and sometimes the disposals will freeze up due to rusting inside.

I had to do the roof 2 years ago. The house needs paint right now and I am expecting to have to replace the central air sometime in the near future.

Lunchbag letdown... Oh well...

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I wanna garburator
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go-o-oh
I wanna garburator

[Verse 1]
Just get me to the kitchen, put me on a chair
Hurry, hurry, hurry before I lose my hair
I can't control my faucet, I can't control my drain
Oh no-o-o-o-o

 

[Bogner]

Well...I Am Sorry To Hear This Les. That Is A Real Bummer. The Good News Is The NGD Didn't Mean You Had To Get A New Girlfriend.

Small world! We just had to get ours replaced a couple weeks ago as well. Which wasn’t so bad… except for the part where we had them disconnect the sink and toilet in our guest bath so I could start remodeling it (water damage). So, I’m a night time drywaller now!

We’ve had to replace a ton of appliances at our house in the past couple years, too… dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, water softener, ugh. I’m sure my wife would’ve let me get a private stock with that money.

 

[Greywolf]

Amen .. it seems like it all goes just when a great new instrument becomes available .. the list is to do list is long this year .dishwasher , dryer , new floors . interior paint .. and finish landscaping the back yard... I'm tired just thinking about it .. argh .. Hey I'll just put my pennies away for a 40th Anni something special , I trust they will not disappoint.. and it'll be my 70th ..

I bought all new appliances for my kitchen in 2015. Since I was stupid and bought Samsung appliances we have been dealing with issues with almost all of them and may need to replace them in the near future. I don't think I have ever had to buy a new appliance more than once living in any house, ever, until now. My advice, stay away from Samsung for appliances. I am good with there TVs and Phones but they suck at kitchen appliances.

You see on the land of the heathen we don’t have garbage disposal. We have food waste bins that get collected each week by the refuse guys.

Just one less thing to go wrong. Do you think I could use this argument with Mrs AR to get another guitar?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

I always keep a spare garbage disposal and sump pump for when **** goes bad.

No guitars for you until you buy Mrs. AR a garbage disposal.

That's odd. I have a toilet for when *** goes bad.

 

[aphantomvaper]

We need pics.

I bet it sounds great, if at all

Kidding aside, a new appliance is a good thing. Congrats!

That’s the difference between you and I, I’m an expert.

 

[Prina]

Surprised you didn't do a shootout between Private Stock disposals.

Or maybe you did.

 

[RC Mike]

My home plumbing projects are so off-schedule. I’ve been so busy that the start to finish on doing the shower caulking was two or three weeks. I’ve got a sink that hasn’t had a working drain stopper lever thingy for two weeks.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Not a thing here, our drains wouldn’t cope with the food waste.

They barely cope with a couple of grains of rice slipping through the sink trap.
