New Appliances installed!

They came, delivered and conquered...the good appliance folks from Lakeside Appliance that is. They arrived about 9:00 AM. First they removed the ancient Jen Air drop in range. They had to do some cutting, sawing, etc. to make room for the new slide in range/cook top. Seems the the existing space wasn't quite wide enough. They did it with great efficiency and little mess. Next they installed the microwave. They had to install a new outlet and drill some holes but it went in pretty smooth. It is a combo convection/microwave and I really like it. Smart, good looking, easy to operate. Next they added a new outlet for the range as the old range was hard wired. That done, they installed the range and moved on the the dishwasher. They went in pretty smoothly as well. They finished up around 12:30 and were on their merry way. Later that day however I realized that our AC was no longer working. I filed a claim on line with the home warranty folks. They had someone here by 8:15 AM the next morning. He checked it out and discovered I needed a new motor for the fan in the outside compressor unit. It was a bit warm for the next couple of days but not too bad. We persevered and by Monday morning around 9:30 they had come back, installed a new motor and capacitor and everything was up and running. I was considering not renewing that warranty contract but now I think I will go ahead.
