re: Tell Me About your Dad

My dad is nearing retirement age. He is also my next door neighbor and I consider him a friend. He can also be a pain in the arse at times. Any home projects either at my house or his are usually tackled together. But he is a procrastinator so I can't always go at his pace on things.

He bought a dishwasher from Lowe's last year off of the scratch and dent aisle. He was so proud of his 300 dollar dishwasher (because brand new it was around 1100).

"The scratches are just in the protective film. This thing is like new!!"

He was so excited to score such an awesome deal. Anyway, being the procrastinator he is. We slid the new dishwasher in it's place and it sat, disconnected for over a year. He kept saying well I need to get some new hoses for it which he finally did. Christmas night 2022 my two brother in laws (my sister's (no pics) husbands) decide we are all going to collectively install this dishwasher. They hooked up the water hoses and noticed the drain line didn't look quite right.

It was because my father bought a dishwasher off of the scratch and dent aisle at lowe's with no sump pump on it. The main component that makes the dishwasher work was missing.

So after all of that he still had to buy a new dishwasher. 300 dollars in the hole.
