A New Washer/Dryer

Humm....We purchased a brand new Washer and Dryer, "installation included". The installers show up bright and early (which is good!) and here's a near verbatim break down of our discussion. 

Installer: Oh, so sorry, we can't install the gas dryer-it's against code to install a dryer in the garage.  
Me: Well, ok, I'll take care of it. 
Installer: Oh, so sorry, we also can't install the washer, the on/off values for the hot/cold water are out of code too.
Me: Humm. So when you say installation included, this equates to you delivering them to my garage and I install them, right?
Installer: Correct sir, please sign here that it was an acceptable installation.
Me: But you didn't install anything.
Installer: We've noted the connections, leveling, placement and final verification as exceptions to the installation on the installation sign off page. Please sign here.
On the brighter side, the dryer just finished its initial run and sang a little song for me. While a lesser man than I would rush out and do all the laundry to hear the song again, I'll wait for Grace so that she can share the experience too.
