Last day of vacation was today, the plan was to receive shipment of new washer and dryer to replace ancient and broken units, and use my day off to get them installed.

Well, i used my day off, and received them, but they are not installed. The damn dryer is being a bitch to get the duct hooked up to, the connection coming off the dryer is tapered and i can’t seem to get my clamp tight enough to grab it. God, and that was going to be the easy one.

Washer still isn’t fully unpacked, and i was going to run a new circuit to power it instead of sharing the basement outlets, only to find that i can’t put a tandem breaker in my box, because it doesn’t support them, even though a previous electrician did (he must have modified the breaker to fit it in, WTF?). i don’t feel like doing that, since the whole reason to run this was to make sure that if something went wrong electrically, the manufacturer couldn’t try to blame it on the wiring. Of course, i had already installed the outlet and run all the wire… sheesh. ripped it all down again. thankfully it is an unfinished basement so it isn’t too hard to run wire, or remove it.

now i get to do it all again tomorrow after a day back at work.
