By the way. If anybody in the Winnipeg area is looking to buy new appliances I would highly recommend Bains Appliances. When we remodelled our kitchen in our last house we searched all around town. Hit all the usual Big Box and Appliance stores and as our last stop after a frustrating experience at Midland Appliances, talking to yet again another commissioned salesman who knew less than us about their products we popped into Bains and talked to Conrad. A pretty small, nondescript store but its family owned and they know their products and provided us with the best prices. This time round we did the same thing. Went to all the Big Box and Appliance stores and ended up just as frustrated as last time. You'd think we would have learned. Talked to Conrad again and again he provided us with the best solutions to what we wanted and for the best price. He gave us a further $500 off when we agreed to write a cheque rather than pull out the plastic. We told him we needed to make the purchase now (that was in September) but wouldn't want delivery till March and he said no problem. They would simply keep the items in their warehouse and deliver when our builder called them. We got a call from them the other day saying that they were trying to get a hold of our contact at the builder to ensure someone would be at the house when they delivered the appliances. It was news to us but Bains informed us that our contact person was no longer employed at G&E. After a few frantic phone calls by us we arranged for our Agent to meet them at the house and take delivery. Took a few more days for us to receive a new contact for the builder and she is now getting up to speed. Having a house built from 2000 miles away does come with a few challenges.
Next up some pictures from our first day of hiking in Zion National Park.
