Drain too high!

Okay, I have no clue about plumbing, though recently had my kitchen entirely remodeled. A plumber came and replaced the drain pipe that goes into the wall for the sink as it was at a weird angle. The cabinets were going in the same day.
The plumber mentioned the height of the drain was high, but "it'd be okay". Of course, I didn't question because he's the plumber...
Anyways, now that the cabinets, sink, disposal, and dishwasher are now in, we cannot use the dishwasher as a flood erupts midcycle out of the overflow, and water literally sits in the drain hole until we "shoot" it out with the force of the disposal.
The plumber refuses to help fix the issue because he feels it's not his issue..."we bought too deep of a sink"...even though he looked at the sink when he was putzing with the pipe. He had to have known this would happen.
Okay, enough venting.
I need to know if you would recommend having the disposal entirely removed, therefore creating less of a curve for the water to exit the drain pipe? Or possible a smaller disposal that's shorter? Would you replace the sink with a more shallow version? I'm not even sure they make the size sink I purchased with a more shallow bottom...I'm checking into that. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

My opinion, if both the sink AND the disposal was there when he did the rough-in, and he put it too high, he should fix it. If you did not have the disposal there, or tell him you were going to put one in, then it's not his problem. Note, I'm not a pro, but that's the way I feel. I'm assuming that the counters are at normal height.

If you have a digital camera take a picture under the sink.
Most likely your only choices are a shallower sink or to gain access to the pipe in the wall and lower it.

Opening the wall and lowering the drain, while a PITA, is the best thing to do. Remember, the patch job on the wall will never be seen so if it's not perfect, no one will ever know. Anything less would be a compromise that you will have to live with forever.

Dishwasher hose

Can dishwasher hoses get crimped? This is now the latest and greatest occurence in my kitchen saga.

Thanks for the input earlier...the plumber did come and fix the drain issue, but now my dishwasher doesn't drain...the water sits at the bottom of the unit and it sounds like the pump is trying to push but nothing is coming into the drain hose.

Any input would be great!

Did it ever drain? yes, the hose could be crimped, or, if it wasn't hooked to the disposer previously, he may not have knocked out the plug, so it's trying to push the water through a blocked connection into the disposal.

where is this plug? Is it in the big black hose in the back of the disposal unit?

It's physically part of the disposal. On most, you stick a screwdriver in the hole and knock it out. It's sort of like the holes in a metal electrical box you have to knock out before you can put in a clamp to hold a wire. Then, retrieve it from inside of the disposal before you turn it on. It should be fairly easy to unclamp the hose, then try to stick something in. If it goes in, then it is not blocked there. If it doesn't, you need to knock it out. They should have left the owner's manual with you...it generally shows how to do this.
