So when we realized we had enough money to buy a dishwasher, I almost wept for joy. We went shopping. And realized that to get a halfway decent one, it was going to cost more than we'd thought. We could still afford it, but didn't really want to anymore. However, while shopping, we noticed some websites advertised, where dishwasher parts were sold. (We had tried to buy the parts needed back in September, but discovered they cost so much that it was just going to be better to get a new dishwasher.) After we got home, Scott went online to these places and found he could buy the parts for a fraction of the cost that we'd previously thought.
The parts came this last week, and after spending 4 1/2 hours on the dishwasher yesterday (more than three of those hours were spent cleaning out a clogged pipe-yuck!), we have a working, MAGICAL dishwasher of our own! I just loaded it and turned it on just before starting this post. Aaaahhh, life is good! And I'm so grateful to have a husband who knows how to fix stuff and is willing to spend the time to do it. All for me.

WOW!!! Look at that!
Amazing Scott just amazing.
I really hope Dad can do the same for me. I've been doing dishes by hand for a while now. Here is to hoping :-)
Ode to a Dishwasher
Oh, dishwasher, I miss you. I love you, I want you BACK! I'm tired of taking your place. I never really owned you, but I LOVED you.
I love that ode to a dishwasher, very very clever!
And I'm not at all surprised that Scott could do what he did. Or that it took 3 1/2 hours. It sounds like so much like many of your dad's handyman experience. Isn't it a miracle what these can do???
Here's to many loads of dirty dishes and the miracle that dishwasher will do. love you!
You are so BLESSED to have a man like that. What a sacrifice on his part! He probably loves you or something. :)
What a HERO!
I'm glad you have it back. And I was interrupted while reading your previous post last week and never got to comment--she is ADORABLE!!!
