I Had a Drain...

Today, the plumber came to give his estimate on moving the drain over to the other side of the closet near the gas line. $500. So we bought more expensive appliances reasoning that it was worth the extra closet space we would gain only to have to pay $500 MORE in order to MOVE THE FREAKIN' DRAIN. Would I do it again? No. I would buy the side-by-side GE energy star washer / dryer and call it a day. We're also having our hot water heater replaced on Friday (about $800) so that we don't damage the $8000 floors that are being installed on Monday. This kind of thing makes me feel like smoking again -- although at this rate, I wouldn't be able to afford it anyway.
