YAY! :)

We finally got our new appliances today!  We always save money all year to do a project during the summer.  This year, our project was new carpet (not here yet) and a couple new appliances for the kitchen.  Our fridge was fine, but I’m pretty sure our dishwasher was original to the house, as was the stove!  The spring on the dishwasher door had broken, so it weighed about 40 pounds, it made a lovely grinding noise every time we started it up, and, best of all, it didn’t actually clean the dishes.  Last week it stopped draining water out of the bottom, so that was definitely the last straw!  Our stove worked alright, it was just pretty old, and the oven light didn’t work anymore.  And, I really, really, REALLY wanted a glass top.  So, once the dishwasher finally bit the dust, we headed to Downtown Appliance and picked out a new dishwasher and range.  And, they came to deliver today!

So, just so you know… here’s what we started with:

Truman was QUITE interested in the whole process, although he was not thrilled with the strange guys going in and out of the house! 

P.S. I was HORRIFIED at what the floors looked like underneath the old appliances.  While they were getting the new ones out of the truck I was frantically scrubbing the floors!  Gross!

And, here we are halfway done.  When they brought the range through the door, the oven door just shattered in our entryway.  Not sure if he hit the door with it, or if there was already a crack in the door and when it went over the threshold it was just too much for it, or if it was just a random thing, but it was quite the noise!   Thankfully, they had a spare door at the store, so they ran back, grabbed it, and put it on…

And here we are, all finished! 

I am way past excited about them, as most girls can imagine! :)  We haven’t used the dishwasher yet, but we cooked dinner on the stove, and I cannot explain how awesome it was to just wipe off the top when I was done!  Can’t wait to hear how quiet the dishwasher is!
