"It's Bigfoot"

The littles and I attended a play at their school tonight.  The older grades put it on.  It was called "It's Bigfoot".  It was really very cute and funny.  The cast did a wonderful job.  So much better than you might expect from the grade level.  These will be the kids to go on and do high school drama.
The little man did  not want to sit with us, so he sat in front.  He had a better seat.  The little woman insisted sitting on my lap and squirming.  Hopefully we didn't bother the people behind us too much.  At least we were quiet.  And I noticed that the little man sat very still and quiet the whole play.
They had already seen the play earlier in the week during school.  So they knew all the secrets to the story.  And they like to share.  They are funny and I am glad they enjoyed it.  Another great experience for them.

So the new dishwasher was delivered today.  And I got to the hardware store for my supplies.  I kept thinking "If only I knew an appliance man."  Kind of like "If only I knew a plumber," or "If only I knew a fence guy."  This especially went through my mind when I pulled the old dishwasher out and it was hardwired. The sales associate made it sound like I could not really do this job myself and I should pay the $150 to have it installed.  Ha.
So I youtubed how to do it.  YouTube is a wonderful resource.  Even hardwired, that would be $150 to install two hoses and hook up three wires.  Anyway I did get the old dishwasher detached from the hard wire line, but undoing those three wires. Yes, I made sure there was no power going to the lines. And then when they delivered the new dishwasher today, they hauled the old one away.
After all my youtubing and reading online I decided I did not want to hard wire the new one.  So I bought the pigtail to make it work with the electric receptacle under the sink.  My only problem at this point is what to do with the hard wire line coming in that is just laying there on the floor.
Then I'm thinking "If Only I knew an electrician."  Well maybe I do and maybe I don't, but Tom was able to tell me some good advice.  So I capped off the wires and taped them up well with electrical tape.  Pushed the wire back in the hole and then went out and taped up the fuse box where it connects so no one turns it back on.  And I'm good.
Tomorrow my brother said he would help me install.  And tonight the littles think that big box with the dishwasher in it makes a great table. Tomorrow it will be a great fort or something else.
So thanks delivery guys for being on time and quick.  And I love not having to worry about disposing of an old dishwasher.  Thanks Pat for being willing to help me tomorrow and thanks Tom for all the good advice.
