bought a dishwasher today
The dishwasher that came with the house was old when we bought it. We suspect that it would have been installed in the 1970's or perhaps the early 80's (the house was built in 1966). Therefore it wasn't much of a surprise when it died some months back. (last winter?) I would have been willing to just take it out, and free up the space for drawers, since I normally prefer to just wash dishes by hand anyway--takes less time from start to dishes back in the cupboard. But David prefers to do something else while the dishes are washing, and thus doesn't mind how much longer the machine takes. Therefore he has been thinking about replacing it on and off, and we finally found the time to head to a store this afternoon to do it.
The price was slightly more than we paid for his nyckleharpa, which isn't so surprising. Not the most expensive option the store had, though it was up there in price, but the one that seemed the most useful looking in that the various support bits inside are all changeable, so one can wash differently shaped dishes from one load to the next.
We managed to get it and get back to the house just on time for a mandatory skype meeting he had for work, so he sat at the table and listened to the meeting while I read the instruction book. Then we had just enough time to get the old one out from under the counter and the new one into place before it was time for Choir. (I completely missed Phire practice today.)
After Choir Villiam came over, helped me carry the old dishwasher out to the car (I am thinking of taking it directly to the tip tomorrow, rather than sticking it into a shed for my further into the future self to deal with), had some of my apple-berry cobbler, and played the piano for a bit before heading home. Then I fished cleaning the kitchen back up and getting the under the sink stuff back under the sink. Then I foolishly looked at fb for a bit instead of just doing yoga and going to bed. Now it is after midnight, and I really need to put this computer down, do my yoga and try to get some sleep.
Tomorrow or Thursday we will finish getting the dishwasher working, so that it can be used after the Choir party on Friday.
