Installing a dishwasher
After putting up with a dishwasher that didn’t wash or dry our dishes well for the better part of 2 years, my wife and I decided that it was time for a new appliance. Oh, did I mention that our dishwasher also smelled like open wet ass? Yeah, if you opened that bad boy after having not run it in about 2 days, you were in for a rude awakening. In any case, I felt that the $115 installation fee was a bit steep and that I could surely, with my novice home improvement skills, pull a quick DIY job and be done with it. Well, it took me about 2 hours just to UN-INSTALL the POS we had. I then started putting in the new one, quickly discovering that I’d need new connectors, silicone tape, a new hot water hose, and various other items from Home Depot. So, after about 8 hours of labor, I finally got the damn thing in and squared up and it was running without a leak. So I run it through a cycle and realize…I had forgotten the damn soap. And even when I remembered the soap, it still didn’t wash the dishes well. Nice. Wish me luck.
