I feel so manly now
Adrienne suggested that we replace our garbage disposal because it's so ridiculously noisy that it might deter potential buyers from buying our home. A silly notion, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone asked us to replace it as part of their inspection.
It works, but it's REALLY noisy, and makes the entire sink and counter vibrate.
So... another trip to Home Depot. I bought a 1/2 horsepower In-sink-erator - the smallest model they had - for $62. The existing model was also a 1/2 horsepower version so I wasn't downsizing or anything, I just didn't want to spend very much.
It said it used a "Quick-lock" system and chances were good that all I'd have to do was unscrew the old disposal and screw on the new one...
Oh if only!
The old model was not a quick-lock style, so I actually had to remove the entire thing, including the sink flange. The new disposal didn't come with a power cord either.. so I took the power cord off the old one and wired it into the new one.
Amazingly, after an hour or so, I had everything installed and the plumbing reconnected, and it worked!
On the first try!
I called my mom to brag.
