So the handy man came, and after looking at the pipes, insisted that it was, in fact connected correctly. Must be the washing machine. He kept interrupting me when I tried to explain that I had tried the washer with all possible connection combinations, and run the hot water through the sink and felt the pipes....

He disconnected and reconnected the dishwasher for some reason and left his assistant here doing I don't know what for another hour. The assistant comes up and tells me it's all back together and should work, and this is the hot supply line.

So I say, ok, turn the cold off. Now open the hot. Now fill the washer with hot. Feel that water? Thats cold.

Lets turn the sink on hot, and go down and feel the pipes.


Oh, yeah. Youre right. This one is cold too. Calls the boss, argues with him, and leaves saying the boss will be back shortly to fix it himself.

Cocks.
