It must be Saturday night the highlight of my week was replacing my garbage disposal...it went out last week along with my refrigerator (replaced that last weekend a whole nother story) anyway poked my head under the sink and said "I can do that"...I like to think myself as mechanically inclined but after a week driving truck that is the last thing I wanted to do but the disposal cost me $118 and they wanted another $95 to install it...SO I dove in and did pretty well untill it was time to lock the disposal ring into the setting...I tried and tried and tried and the Mother ****** would not go on...I grabbed me a martini and said OK I'll finish tomorrow when it hit me I was trying to twist the damn thing the wrong way and as simple as that I DID IT...I am so proud of ME.........
I just replaced my garbage disposal...

EEEEYUP!! Piece of cake wasn't it? My first one, 30 years ago was scary, I ruined the sink trap hooky do pipe and then it was all up hill. Ya gotta learn sometime, right? Trial and error and a little commons sense goes a long way.
Oh, enjoy what's left of your weekend.

I'm proud of you too! I have had so many plumbing mishaps this last year (no man around stuff).
Anyway, live in an old house, so complicated plumbing.....the first time the kitchen sink stopped up....I fixed it! I was like a god to myself, so proud. Then a few weeks later it happened again. Thinking of course, I knew what I was doing, and went after the project with confidence. Well, didn't work this time....so what did I do???? Drained the water into a bucket and watered my plants, trees and bushes....for a month!!! Then my brother came to visit and announced to me that I was an idiot and fixed it.
my humility comes in many different ways...

It probably took me an hour and a half to do it and to tell the truth if I knew what I was doing from the beginning I could have done it in 30 minutes and for that they wanted $95 what a rip...

So cool !! I want you to be proud of me too. Guess what I did. I scraped my bowl of all resin. And smoked it. My pot dealer says he won't be able to hook up until next week. So I guess I'll have to wait. But..... be proud of me I cleaned my bowl.

good for you - for the garbage disposal, not for cleaning the bowl of your pipe. I always feel so competent when I do something like that. Have never done a garbage disposal, though. It sounds scary.
