• @jreesnc ‘Scuse me but I paid #Sears for a brand new dishwasher, I don’t want to be fixing shit for quite some time. in reply to jreesnc #
• #Sears installer just CALLED (miracle of miracles) and said they’re running late but still coming. And we wait… #
• BTW, I apologize if the whining is getting dull, but the #Sears tweets must continue until we get some semblance of what we paid for. #
• #Sears installer arrived 30 min ago, just finished removing old dishwasher. Has uncovered add’l problems that we have no money to fix. #
• So… now we have a brand new dishwasher but can’t use it or wash manually b/c the entire drain pipe is inoperable. :-(( Not Sears’ fault. #
