[Handy Dandy Cameron]

Sooo our garbage disposal broke on Sunday. :(
Wahhhh.
So I called and set up a claim with our home warranty to get someone out there to fix it.
And while I was doing that I decided to get a claim set up for our dishwasher because it wasnt draining properly.
No matter what is wrong there is a $60 dollar service charge.
We have already paid...
$60 dollars to get our water heater looked at and $60 dollars for our air conditioner within the past 2 weeks. So it made me sick to think I would have to write 2 more checks for $60 dollars.
So yesterday the dishwasher guy came out to fix our dishwasher.
Come to find out the problem was pre-exisiting before we purchased the home so we had to pay ANOTHER $60 on top of the $60 we already owed him.
I guess the idiots forgot to take out some plug and thats why it was draining properly. It seriously took him 30 seconds to fix it! Which made me even more mad.
I think he could see my frustration so he asked us if we had any other appliance questions and he would answer them for free.
So we took advantage of that and started asking. I told him we had someone coming out to fix our garabage disposal and he made a suggestion for us to go out and buy a new switch that was $4 dollars at Lowes and try to fix it ourselfs because the outlet is getting power, just something isnt switching properly.
So we figured it was worth a shot and Cameron went to go get the supplies.
When he got home he went to work and started at it.
I went in the family room and started watching tv because "this was a mans job" as Cameron put it hahaha.
I heard a funny noise and asked if everything was okay and sure enough Cameron electricuted himself playing with the wires - he thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Sooo long story short - my Cameron fixed it :)
So I was able to call the home warranty back and cancel our appointment for today so we ended up paying only $4.56 rather then $60!

I looove that he is soo handy :)
Go babe!
