After 10 years with the el-cheapo-because-we-can’t-afford-anything dishwasher, it finally gave out and we got a new one. I installed it (I’m handy with these sorts of things), but discovered that the aforementioned el-cheapo had been leaking in its cabinet, so I had to cut out a a fair bit of rot. Not only that, but the delivered dishwasher was defective and needed to be replaced. So the (replacement) dishwasher is in and working fine, but I need to cut down a new 2×4 to support the counter, replace the side wall to the cabinet, and screw in the dishwasher’s trim kit. I know, that ought to be an afternoon’s project, but as a house-dad, it’s hard to find the time! On the other hand, that exposed side of the washer is needling me, an affront to my sense of myself as a house-handy person.
Grr. Wish they’d installed the old one right in the first place.
