Keith's dad is quite the handyman and we call him for any and all things related to our house. The first night I stayed at our house (November 2007), the hot water heater wasn't working and I took the coldest shower of my life. The very next morning I called Hal and he came over after work and all he had to do was adjust the knob on the heater and hello, hot water! Everyone has helped us with hauling appliances, watching our dogs, fixing all sorts of problems at our house and are they always willing to come on over and help us out when we're working on home projects.
My dad had given us a late Christmas present this year...a NEW dishwasher that we ordered in January but didn't have a chance to pick up until after my dad's funeral. Well, that is where Hal and Janet came into play. They picked up the dishwasher for us while Keith and I were in Oregon and were going to try to install it but came across a few problems so they waited until we returned so Keith and Hal could tackle it together. The old dishwasher was stuck behind the tile because when we added travertine floors to our kitchen (I'll talk about that in another post), they had to build up a subfloor and then set the tile. Therefore, the dishwasher was "stuck" behind 3 inches of subfloor + tile and wouldn't budge. Luckily when the previous homeowners put in the countertops, they were never secured to the cabinets so Keith and Hal spent almost 3 hours one night getting the old dishwasher out and the new one installed. With a lot of elbow grease and manpower, they got everything installed and in working order! I am so thankful to have a brand new dishwasher and so thankful to my dad who bought it for us.
