3/26/11: New Dishwasher


Today we got a semi-new dishwasher courtesy of our friends Jimmy and Amanda.  What should have taken Jimmy and Paul probably less time to install probably resulted in them being able to have a few extra beers.

When we moved in about 5 years ago, of course the house came with a dishwasher.  The house was a foreclosure when we bought it and there were some touch-ups that needed done.  One of them must have included painting. The cracker jack painters thought it would then be appropriate to clean their paint brushes in the dishwasher.  Brilliant.

Paul and I took that thing apart and tried every home remedy in the book. Little pieces of paint were still getting on dishes that we would have to end up washing by hand.  We ended up replacing a couple of the parts and that helped a lot but we knew we would eventually need a new one.  Amanda and Jimmy had just gotten a new one and were selling their old (ok not really, only 2 years old) one. I told Paul to go for it.  I'll tell you, it's made a world of differences with our dishes!
