He does this himself (he's a strong guy) so you're not paying extra for helper. He is busy so you may have to wait a few weeks. Hint: he leaves the thermostat at factory setting which is low for our dish washer - ask him to set it a bit higher to at least 140 degrees.
. That's who is doing mine. June 5th.
