Saturday project:
Name: Replace the in-sink garbage disposal
Status: Complete
Skills required: Wiring, plumbing, cleaning all that crap out from under the sink.
Thing I had to run back to the hardware store to get: Plumber's putty, electrical tape, wire caps (not used).
Old horspower: 1/3
New horsepower: 3/4
New sound: Probably cut 10-20 decibels out. It's got pretty good insulation.
Where I went to get one first: Best Buy
What they had in stock: A computer showing a web page full of garbage disposals that you could order.
Where I ended up buying one: Sears.
Cost: $99 (on sale!)
Things the new disposal has eaten: One biscuit
What I hope: New disposal doesn't blow a circuit breaker with over twice the power. Need to run some calculations and see what size we've got in the box. Don't think it'll be a problem, but homebuilders can be cheap.
Feeling of manly/husbandly satisfaction: Moderate.
