Oh oh – A Controversy about How to Use a Garbage Disposal

Happy Thanksgiving – and a Holiday Cleanup Tip

Happy Thanksgiving from Gary's Quality Plumbing.Thanksgiving is just about here. I am so very thankful for so many things. God has blessed me richly with family, health and safety. Over the years I have learned that it is important to count your blessings and never take anything or anyone for granted. This will be my 4th Thanksgiving without my husband Gary.  We had six children, 3 boys and 3 girls, and as a result have a very big family as they have all had children of their own. It is getting difficult to have just one Thanksgiving location for dinner. I am looking forward to seeing many grand and great-grand  kids at some point.  The main thing is that we have set aside some time to thank God for his goodness and mercy and grace in our lives.

From  our family to your family Gary’s Quality Plumbing wishes you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Dishwasher installation.A new dishwasher brings such relief to busy families, but like all other appliances these days, buying one incurs all kinds of additional charges. There’s tax, extended warranties, and service agreements – sometimes even shipping.

These days, if you want to make sure the $1000 you just spent on a washing machine will guarantee that it will still work next year, you’d better ante-up another $300 just to be sure, right? (Nuts, if you ask me …)

When it comes to installation, many times the company you bought it from will offer to install for free within a limited service area, and they should offer that, but we routinely get called when someone comes home from being gone to water rushing out the front door. Sometimes there’s no bigger reason than improper appliance installation, or worn out, low-grade hoses and fittings used for the install a couple of years ago.  Read More→
