The Internet is Awesome

Our garbage disposal stopped working over the weekend. I was dreading doing the work to replace the thing. I went online last night to see what it would take to do the install and to check prices. The install wouldn’t be too tough if the pipe sizes and placements were relatively close in the new unit. I’m thinking that isn’t going to happen. While I’m cruising around, I see someone asking about their broken disposal and that it would cost $90 bucks to just have a plumber look at it! In the response it mentioned to check the electrical connection and look for a cutoff switch. I jumped right out of bed. I checked the electrical switch and it was working fine. I then started digging around the disposal unit. I found a red button at the bottom. I pushed it in and “yessss” it worked! Thanks, Internet, you saved me at least $100 and a bunch of hard work.
