    I just paid $250 for pellets delivery. Handyman went to dealer, picked up 7 tons, drove them 1/2 hour out here, and hand stacked them in my pole barn (he brought a helper). He picked up 15 empty 5 gal bottles for the water company and will drop them off for me. Fair to you guys?

    I think it is a bit steep, and then feel like its a bargain in the same thought. Wow they did 7 tons in a few hours, thats 350 bags! My hardworking husband has very good intentions but the reality is between taking care of me and the lil nights and weekends, well.........It would not happen. *if* by some miracle he carved out some time and was not sleep deprived from long work hours, I fear he would end up confined to the bed and couch for a week from throwing out his back (he is in his late 40's and thrown his back out too many times before when he was younger). And, it would be 3 trips into town and back again since his truck can only handle 2 skids.

    I will stop thinking outloud, just convinced myself absolutely worth every penny.

    Lowe's found my dishwasher yesterday and it was installed early this afternoon. The guy that did the install is alright in my book. Lowe's tried to beg off installing it until next week, the boss gave the installation coordinator some interesting options we have three different sets of company coming over the next week or so and they don't have much luck getting folks to install over the weekend or really early in the morning.

    I would have been even less helpful in the options department, the coordinator was extremely lucky it wasn't me on this end of the phone.
