We Have the WORST Luck...

So on 6/22 we installed a Sunsetter over our back patio. A 20 ft x 10 ft so needless to say it takes a lot of screws to hold it up on the house. First bit of bad luck, the guy we bought it from failed to bring the crank that opens and closes it. We manually do it but once it's up, it's just too hard to do without the crank so we leave it up and I contact the seller. No return call, no return email, nada. So I contact Sunsetter and they gladly send us one for the bargain price of $31.00. Bad luck #2, on Wednesday 6/25 our garbage disposal stops working. We just replaced it in November ARGGG. Bad Luck #3, Thursday I load my dishwasher and go to turn in on and it doesn't work. Well then I figure out it's my on/off switch that's messed up not the disposal and dishwasher. So I go to the garage and see that the breaker is tripped. When I flip it, it sparks. Not good. So I hand wash the dishes and we go to Greenwood. Monday, John calls an electrician and he comes out yesterday. Apparently a screw went through the wire from the Sunsetter--thank God it didn't shock John off the ladder. I'm still skeptical since the switch worked through Wed. but whatever. We tell him to fix it and he does but for a nice hefty fee (bad luck #4). He gave us the wire and yes, right through the middle there is a hole and the surrounding area is burnt real nice. Thank God, I still have a house, right?
I would say that I helped stimulate the economy or actually this guys wallet, but since I haven't gotten my stimulus payment yet (bad luck #5) all I can say is that I'm out of a lot of money, but my dishwasher and disposal work GREAT! Have I said how much I am looking forward to our vacation.
