Why is it that things only go wrong in our house when we're expecting visitors?
Last time my sister came to visit our water heater broke the day before they were supposed to arrive. $500 and a visit from a repair man later it was fixed and we were ready.
Friday night the ear doctor was finished up the dishes and noticed a puddle forming at his feet. He opened the sink cabinet doors and there was water sprayed all over the inside. We flipped the disposal on and were showered with water spraying from a crack in the side of the disposal unit. And we were hosting friends for dinner the next night.
Luckily I married a man who wasn't even phased. Saturday morning he disconnected the whole thing and took it to home depot. Turns out the one we had installed was a crappy Badger1 that people usually put in flipped homes (although ours wasn't flipped). We decided to upgrade to the Badger9.
Yes, we are high rollers.
He had it back and installed in place within an hour.
And I only forgot that there was nothing hooked to the bottom of the sink and turned on the faucet full blast once while he was gone...which in my book is pretty good.

Happy home owners! It never fails that water repairs will send me into a panic!!!
We recently did the exact same thing only our badger 1 was the cheap disposal that came with our new townhouse. We decided to move away from the badger models however. I amazed at how much quieter our new one is!

Good job Garrett!! You are a water genious.
I always make it a point to clog the drains on Thanksgiving Day. Ask Uncle Garth!
No picture of the Badger 9?
Also, you failed to mention that we nicknamed the new disposal the "Honey Badger" ... because of his 3 stage grinding power, which according to Dave at Home Depot gives hime the ability to grind Adamantium, if needed (i.e., "Honey Badger don't care!").
