Since my stove and dishwasher work fine I'm not in a hurry to get them into the house, so I can use the free delivery. I can't blame the boy though, that fridge was heavy..

I did the microwave alone, which pushed my still healing wrist to the limit.. it's a bit stiff and sore today, but I managed just fine.

The anti chuff on all this is Lowes wouldn't let me use the 10% coupon and the 5% for using their card at the same time, and after shopping around I ended up doing this all online. To find out if the card would work I had to check out and complete the order. When it didn't I wanted to switch to my 1% chase card ($18 is $18 after all), and it took calling and redoing the order. Thankfully when I went to pick up the microwave, the lady at the store was reviewing my order and the lady I called online hadn't cancelled the first order before rewriting the order to use a different card, so I had 2 stoves and 2 dishwashers on order. She got it squared away and got the delivery set up. Oh, and on the fridge they tried to charge me a late payment fee and interest ($78 total) because the billing month ended the day after I bought the fridge, but I never got a statement and it was due 2 weeks later. I paid it about 30 days after it was due (online) and when I got the statement I saw the charges and called them a bitched out the poor lady and she refunded it. Since I changed cards, I haven't used that $78 credit yet, but I'll eventually get a check if I don't spend it on other things (always something I need at Lowes anyway, so I'll probably spend it eventually).

Now that my fridge is working right again and I have ice and the freezer is all frozen, I'm happy with the appliances. The whole problem with the fridge was a neutral wire was disconnected inside the chassis from the factory, so the heater never worked and it couldn't defrost.. the frost built up after a few weeks and blocked the vents where the cold air could blow into the fridge and was even hitting the fan causing the thing to sound like a twin prop Cessna winding up. A little cleaning up and I will have a full set of decent white appliances to sell... Gonna get the fridge fixed and sell it too since it's in really good shape. Might recover six or seven hundred total on all 4 appliances, and with all the sales and discounts it only cost around $4k for the top of the line Whirlpool Gold, so making some money back is gravy.. Figured in the beginning it would take $5k or more to transition to stainless. if I can come out at $3500 total I'll be happy.
